MSI Pulse GL76 (12Ux) review
Source: Laptop Media
We are pleasantly surprised by the fact that manufacturers tried implementing higher TGP versions of the RTX 3000 GPU lineup in their new laptops. Some of the devices feature some sort of a visual refresh, while others, like the Pulse GL76 (12Ux) appear to be different only by the heart. And quite the difference it is – the Alder Lake CPUs of Intel completely obliterate everything we’ve previously tested, including the latest AMD 6000H series. This is a huge ace up GL76’s sleeve. Furthermore, there are two SODIMM slots for memory upgrades, and MSI conveniently chose DDR4 modules, which are far easier to get nowadays. In addition to that, this laptop supports Gen 4 drives with both of its M.2 PCIe x4 slots. On the other hand, you don’t get Thunderbolt 4 support, and one of the three USB Type-A ports is 2.0. Ideally, it should be used to connect a peripheral like a mouse, keyboard, or controller. Now, there were some things that can put you off. For example, the keyboard is really not up there for gaming. It is a bit mushy, and the key travel is short.
