Reviews for the MSI GF63 Thin 12VE

78% MSI Thin GF63 (2023) review: A gaming laptop you can afford
Source: PC World English
The MSI GF63 Slim for 2023 isa good value low-end gaming laptop that’ll still be playing games in a few years’ time, though they won’t necessarily be the latest ones at ultra settings. It will work well as a general-purpose laptop if that’s what you need, though the screen is disappointing and the speakers flat and lacking at both the top and bottom ends. On the bright side, it’s a good-looking machine that’s powerful enough for everyday use as well as gaming, and it’s also good value for money.

Despite surprisingly good 1080p gaming performance, the MSI GF63 Slim for 2023 is a bundle of compromises. Decide you can live with them, and you’ll get a decent all-round laptop that will last a good few years, though its gaming potential will drop off sharply over time.

80% MSI GF63 Thin (2023) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
At the end of the day, you have to keep in mind that the new GF63 only costs £900 and that low price point earns it a lot of leeway. If like me you tend to have your laptop hooked up to an external keyboard and monitor for lengthy gaming or work sessions the fact that the MSI’s keyboard and display are a bit half-baked won’t be a problem. However, if it is a problem for you and you’re after a more well-rounded gaming laptop, you can look to the mid-range at a device like the £1180 Asus TUF Gaming A15 (2023). But, for £899 you are getting a smart, capable and well-specified laptop with plenty of upgrade options, assuming you are brave enough to remove the base panel, and that looks the part. I don’t think you can seriously ask for more at the price.

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.

71.2%: 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.
