Model: Do you want a high-end laptop? Check. Do you want it to be thin and light? Check. Do you want it to be cheap? Well, sorry, that is not possible.
There are too many 2 out of 3 rules in life. Same applies to laptops, electronics as well. If you want it to be high quality and ask for high performance at the same time, you can’t get it cheap. MSI’s GS75 8SE series are exactly in that category. The only thing that is not up to date is the CPU. It is from last year’s Intel 8th generation, but the performance difference vs. the 9th generation is only minimal. With the RTX 2060, you can play almost all the games on the market today in high resolutions. The screen is not 4K, but at least 144Hz. 1080p 144 Hz is better than 4K 60 Hz of course. Therefore, there is not much to complain about the screen.
Here is the thing, this device is 17.3 inch, but only weights around 2.2 kg. This is amazing. Mobile gaming is literally at your fingertips. Take it wherever you want to and enjoy, as long as you have a power outlet close by. Well, it is possible to use this beast for up to 5 hours on battery, but during gaming you can get a maximum of 2 or tops 3 hours and that’s it.
Besides those points, we get what we expect from MSI. Steelseries keyboards are sometimes hard to get used to, but once you got used to it, it is okay. The keyboard backlight is adjustable and comes with a few presets. You can customize the backlight through the provided software.
Speakers could be somewhat disappointing for some, but this is a minor point in my opinion.
There are of course smaller and lighter devices available. The thing with high performance is cooling. With the GS75, MSI does a good job. The problem with smaller devices is that they don’t have enough area for disposing of excess heat. Then what you end up is having a high end device, which can’t reach up to its performance. But with the GS75 8SE series, the case has enough size to leverage from, therefore emissions are not much of a problem for the user.
Overall, I can suggest this device without any hesitation. It is well balanced and easy to carry around. If you are a gamer and not after the very high end graphics, but want mobility, this is what you need. But if you want a smaller laptop, you should take a look at GS63 or PS63 series.
