The MSI Cyborg 17 (B13W) is a 17-inch gaming laptop with a very clear identity. It doesn’t try to look like every other budget gaming machine on the market — the translucent elements, cyberpunk-inspired design, and 4-zone RGB keyboard give it a distinctive personality. If you want a large-screen gaming laptop that looks different and doesn’t cost as much as higher-end RTX machines, the Cyborg 17 immediately makes sense on paper. In practice, however, this is also a laptop with very clear priorities. MSI has focused on controlled thermals, a slimmer-looking chassis, and affordability, but this comes at the cost of GPU performance. The Cyborg 17 B13W can play modern games at 1080p, but it is not designed to push its RTX 50-series GPU to the highest possible power limits.
