MSI Sword 17 HX B14V review – For Gamers and Creators
Source: Laptop Media
The MSI Sword 17 HX B14V isn’t perfect but it delivers a strong gaming performance alongside good comfort under full loads (for such a device). Also, the chassis may be made of plastic but it’s solid for the most part. The RGB Gaming keyboard is great for both typing and gaming. The optional 17″ 1600p 240Hz display (AUO B170QAN01.2 (AUO84A6)) is perhaps the main event here. This snappy IPS unit impresses with a 452 cd/m2 max brightness and full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage. The panel is an unpolished gem in terms of color accuracy. With the aid of our “Design and Gaming” profile, the default average dE score is enhanced from a 2.9 to 0.9 result which is a notable improvement.

17.00":

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

2.6 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components.

The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
