    Good performance, low battery

    Overall, I'm pleased with the performance of this computer, its value for money and the 3-year guarantee from LDLC.

    Strong points :
    - good graphics card
    - good processor
    - average SSD space (466 GB actual - a bit inadequate) / - average RAM (16 GB total - a bit inadequate)
    - average RAM (16 GB total - sufficient)
    - nice screen with 144 Hz display

    Weak points:
    low battery (1h)
    slightly noisy computer (it's quite bearable with headphones and music or a bit of ambient noise) but I'm perhaps too sensitive to noise levels.

    A big problem

    At the beginning everything worked fine but my network card started to have problems after a month. Once a month it decides not to recognize the driver anymore... So far I was able to fix this problem but now nothing works. I've been using it for a while now, but it's not working... I've been using it for a while now, but it's not working.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a speaker or not, but it's a big problem on a 1000e pc.

    Excellent value for money

    I've been using it for a while now, but it's not a good one, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to use it again.
    Obviously for this price, the fans make quite a lot of noise and I didn't hesitate to buy a cooling stand (in the 40€ range).
    The only real problem with my order was the webcam. Either it was forgotten during assembly or it doesn't work (tested on Linux and Windows. I'll see if I open the machine one day...).

    A purchase I do not regret

    Excellent product for what I intended to do with it.
    Fast and powerful with no lag as long as you are connected to the power supply.

    The drawbacks for those interested are as follows:
    - Battery life a bit light
    - The position of the keys on the keyboard (takes a while to get used to)

    I would recommend this PC to anyone looking for a computer in this price range.

    Fun

    My MSI GP62 LEOPARD was starting to show signs of fatigue with VMware, so I searched on one of my favorite sites LDLC for a new pc, The MSI GF65.

    When you trust the trade site and it doesn't fail, I don't change it.

    I'm really happy with my new MSI, not a murmur when I start Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign or when I'm on VMware with two, or even systems booted at the same time.

    I'm training to be a Secure Infrastructure Administrator and my PC is just what I need.

    My old GP62 lasted 5 years without showing a sign of fatigue, I'll see this one.

    I have paid for it but I thank LDLC for the seriousness and security of the products I buy regularly.

    Good value for money

    This laptop meets my expectations. Its performance allows me to do programming work for my final year of NSI studies and to play most video games without any problems.

    Satisfied but not with the battery.

    Hello,

    - After a few weeks of testing the product after receiving it I am quite satisfied overall.

    The performance is good for the price. The latest games at the moment run very well, but beware of using RTX technology, which is greedy.

    As for the processor, it is correct for an I5, it's even very good, it's more than enough. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same processor as the I5, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use the same processor as the I5, and I'm sure it's a good idea to use the same processor as the I5, and I'm sure it's a good idea to use the same processor as the I5.

    I'm not sure how to use this device, but I'm sure it's a great device for a lot of people. I was not able to test it on battery when I received it and I advise you to do so because at the moment it does not last more than 1 hour and 15 minutes on battery with the energy saving function and the brightness lowered to the maximum to do office work (Word). I've been using it for a while now and it's not working well................................. I've been using it for a while now, but it's not possible to send it back because of my daily use, so there's no other solution on the horizon except to make do with it.

    I'm not sure how to use it, but it's a good idea to add a disk to it or to make do with it. The external hard drive is recommended.

    So in summary :

    - A very good and powerful PC that meets the expectations for its price.

    The only weak point is the storage and the battery, which I strongly recommend to test when you receive it.

    Excellent value for money

    It's been a few weeks since I received the pc. It is a very good gaming PC with a great configuration for the price. Two small flaws that don't bother me at all but should be mentioned: it tends to be a bit noisy and the speakers underneath don't emit the best sound I've experienced. However, if you use headphones, it's not a problem. On the other hand in terms of ergonomics, fps performance, screen quality etc.... nothing to complain about. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a bootable key to install the OS, but it's really fast. All in all an excellent value for money, I recommend!

    I've been using it for a while now and I'm very happy with it.
