Reviews for the MSI Cyborg 15 A13VE

66% MSI Cyborg 15 Review: Translucent Gaming Laptop With Equally Cloudy Performance
Source: CNet English
As with any budget laptop, corners get cut to decrease the price. For us, there's a bit too much missing here. But, if your budget doesn't stretch beyond $800 and you like the look of the Cyborg 15, then the RTX 4060-based model at Best Buy is the better buy when you can find it on sale. I've seen it as low as $750 with a massive $350 discount.

84% MSI Cyborg 15 review: Can this cheap gaming laptop run 'Cyberpunk 2077'?
Source: Mashable English
If you’re looking for a gaming laptop with all the bells and whistles – a vividly rich display, a bright panel, and raw graphics performance that nets staggeringly high frame rates – the MSI Cyborg 15 isn’t for you. However, if you’re a practical gamer who wants bare bones specs – acceptable frame rates, a 1080p display, and a comfortable keyboard – the MSI Cyborg 15 is ideal. Plus, you get it all for a great price.

80% MSI Cyborg 15 (2023) Review
Source: PC Mag English
The MSI Cyborg 15 is no amazing gaming laptop, but it wasn't built to be. It was designed to be affordable, and it succeeds there while offering fair gaming performance and above-average good looks. Players with bigger budgets will find much more compelling options available, but if you simply can't stretch to four instead of three figures, the Cyborg will serve you well.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

76.67%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
