82.9% MSI Delta 15 gaming laptop review: The Radeon RX 6700M makes its debut | Notebookcheck
While AMD has been right at the forefront of mobile processors for quite some time, things have looked rather gloomy in recent years when it comes to their mobile graphics cards - at least in the high-end segment. But that's changing now: AMD has launched a clear frontal attack against Nvdia's Ampere GPUs

80% MSI Delta 15 Review: the gaming laptop I would buy for work
Source: KL Gadget Guy English
Ultimately, the MSI Delta 15 is an excellent slim gaming laptop that offers the portability and performance that you can’t usually get on premium productivity laptops, it even beats some creator laptops in terms of features, which is why I can highly recommend this to anyone if you have RM7,399 to spend on a laptop. Like all gaming laptops, it isn’t affordable, but this is going to be a worthy investment over premium productivity laptops if you truly value performance.

MSI Delta 15 (A5Ex) review
Source: Laptop Media English
Albeit the Delta 15 (A5Ex) is a solid performer, mostly due to the power of the Radeon RX 6700M, we couldn’t really say we would recommend it. The single reason for that is its cooling. Indeed, the laptop is thin, light, tough, and arguably pretty. However, all of this comes at a price – an unsatisfactory cooling solution. On the other hand, the input devices are just not up to the level we expected for a laptop at this price. Generally, we think that MSI had a raw gem in its hands, but they just didn’t do a good enough job polishing it. With that said, the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507 is a better option in our view.

70% MSI Delta 15
Source: PC Mag English
The MSI Delta 15's all-AMD silicon makes it an able gaming laptop. It's the first time we've had our hands on a Radeon RX 6700M GPU and it doesn't disappoint, offering performance in line with GeForce RTX 3070 notebooks at a lower price. However, its prowess comes at the expense of heat and noise, which detract from the gaming experience. The rest of the laptop is a similar melange of ups and downs, with good battery life and speakers and a roomy 1TB SSD arrayed against lackluster input devices and missing PCIe Gen 4 support. Overall, the Delta 15's appeal centers on its CPU and GPU combo—finally, AMD is competitive in higher-end gaming laptops. The Delta 15 isn't as polished as it should be, but it's still a welcome face in an Nvidia-dominated market.
