86.3% MSI Pulse 17 B13V gaming laptop review: With quiet wings | Notebookcheck
The MSI Pulse 17 supplies a lot of power to the Intel Core i7 and RTX 4070 while still remaining fairly quiet. However, the connection equipment and screen are also important for a laptop, and the gaming laptop is unable to convince us in those regards.
