Reviews for the MSI Sword 15 A11UD

MSI Sword 15 review – choose your weapon
Source: Laptop Media English
At the end of the day, the Sword 15 is a very similar device to the Katana GF66. Indeed, it is a different kind of weapon, but all of the results from our benchmarks suggest, that choosing between these two is a matter of visual preference. If you like bright-colored devices, then the Sword 15 is a decent option, with its White chassis, and more lenient Blue backlight. Interestingly, the bottom panel is black, and we do like the contrast. At the end of the day, this laptop’s strength is playing games. Unfortunately, it is not the best when it comes to 3D modeling or content creation, due to its limited CPU cooling, so you might want to look elsewhere.

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.
