At the end of the day, the MSI Thin 15 B12U seems like a good budget device. The Core i5-12450H can sustain 3.20 GHz / 2.60 GHz P and E core frequencies during long CPU loads and the RTX 2050 boasts a stable 45W TGP even in long gaming sessions. In this case, the noise is acceptable as well as the keyboard temperature. The chassis rigidity is moderate but the aluminum lid and top section of the base add a bit of a premium feel which is nice to see in this price category. The backlit keyboard isn’t spectacular but it’s good enough for gaming or typing. The 1080p IPS display (Innolux N156HRA-EA1 (CMN1521)) is appropriate for long hours of work because it lacks PWM usage.

While the HP Victus 15 features similar specs, its 60Hz refresh rate holds it back. It remains the only other gaming laptop we’ve recently reviewed in the Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 range, which I recommended primarily for casual gamers or those new to gaming. In contrast, the MSI Thin 15 is a superior option for competitive players seeking a smooth experience in ranked matches. MSI has successfully combined capable performance, a smooth display, and robust hardware in a lightweight form factor. The 144Hz display and 16GB of RAM provide significant advantages for gaming, especially in fast-paced multiplayer titles, where high refresh rates and smoother frames make a noticeable difference.

77.5%: 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.
