I've had this laptop for a few months now and I have nothing to complain about. It boots up very quickly and runs all games at over 120fps at 144hz. I recommend it if you want the best of the best.
MSI Katana 15 B12VGK-059FR Dragon Station, top performance for gaming and work. Average battery life but it's always plugged in. Good buy!
Nothing to report so far. Pleasantly surprised by the weight and performance. Relatively compact, with air intakes that seem to be efficient.
I recommend this product, for the price, the performances are higher than the competition.
The design is good but a bit thick
In the same universe: msi laptop
