MSI Katana GF76 12UE-629FR

Quality/Price ratio!!!

To begin with, I would like to point out that I took advantage of a €200 discount at the beginning of the year (€1299 instead of €1499 when I wrote my review)

After 15 days of use I am very satisfied with my purchase, Far Cry 6 runs in ULTRA with almost no slowdown and SWTOR in ULTRA too...

A few negative points though:
-The ventilation becomes really noisy in game, it is better to bring a headset despite a sound more than correct for a laptop.
-The ventilation outlets are at the back but also at the left side. If in winter it's rather pleasant, I don't think that the hot air on the hands in the middle of summer is nice, watch out left-handers (I play with an external keyboard PAD)
-The keyboard is nice but the material around it and the cover/screen are in a material that marks all fingerprints. The keyboard is nice but the material around it and the cover/screen are in a material that marks all the fingerprints. For a Gamer PC where we spend a few hours inevitably that the fingers are a little wet at times!

Conclusion: very happy but MSI, you can do better!

Correctly assembled laptop with 64GB ram

Hello everyone,
This PC is fine after a year of use, replacing my old Lenovo Z70 (mounted with an i7 16GB ram a graphics card with 2 GB of dedicated memory). At the beginning I was quite pleased with the PC, one point that I consider negative is that it goes into deep sleep quickly and that restarting is always a bit long! otherwise for multitasking it is very good I draw on one screen I set on the other while launching encodings without it disturbing.
It's quite rare for the ventilation system to go off, but when it does it's quite noisy.
In conclusion, this PC isn't bad considering its price, but you'll need to boost it to 64g of ram to get the best out of it.

My opinion of this product

The PC isn't even a year old and now there are problems! The brightness doesn't work, the sound doesn't work, Microsoft doesn't work either and I can't connect and to top it all off, the battery is a disaster! I hope it's just me, but paying so much for this is pathetic. I thought I'd be in the clear by paying a bit more and buying an MSI, but no way!

Perfect - meets or exceeds my expectations

I am very satisfied, the material was prepared in the shortest possible time and the delivery time to overseas was on time.
I am very pleased with the service and the quality of the product.
Very good quality/price.
Mainly used for 3D modelling. Everything is smooth and fast.
The same goes for games like PUBG and Fortnite for relaxation.
Recommend it.

Quality article

Nothing to say about my MSI Katana, it runs perfectly the heaviest games I play. However, after about a month of use I have one of the fans on the right side rubbing and causing a ruckus. I'm not sure how to fix this, I think I should just put some lubricant back in but I don't know if the warranty covers this kind of problem?

Excellent

Very nice PC that works very well and runs games well, it is a bit hot (90°C in game) but other than that it is great.
