Reviews for the MSI Cyborg 14 A13VE

The MSI Cyborg 14 checks off the important boxes for what you need in a compact gaming laptop. It’s portable, powerful, and sports a unique style that isn’t quite like anything else. While it lacks good battery life, and could use work on the audio and fan noise level, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with this machine. I can easily recommend this laptop to those who might be on a middle of the road budget and can’t afford a more premium option, like something from Asus ROG or Razer. Sure, $1,099 still isn’t easy to swallow for a lot of people, but go any cheaper on something brand new and you’ll find a lot more compromises than what the Cyborg 14 has. You get the complete package here, and for this price, it’s a bargain.

For people who want to get their hands on a compact and not-so-expensive gaming laptop, the MSI Cyborg 14 A13V offers a lot of bang for the buck. Its chassis is well-built with few exceptions here and there. The translucent parts contribute to a more distinctive look. The port selection is decent and we like the presence of the LAN connector. The upgradability is also good given the form factor of this thing. You get two SODIMMs, a replaceable Wi-Fi card, and one M.2 slot. Some contenders offer two SSD slots at the expense of soldered RAM. In this case, you should decide which upgrade scenarios are more important for you. The display (NE140WUM-NX1 (BOE0A3A)) is the biggest surprise here. This PWM-free 1200p 144Hz unit has 98% sRGB coverage the color accuracy is enhanced to an average dE result of 0.9 which is a great improvement compared to the default 3.0 score.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

74%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
