MSI Vector 17 HX A13VHG review – Packs a Punch, But Makes You Hear It
Source: Laptop Media English
The MSI Vector 17 HX A13V is a potent gaming device. It’s offered only with high-end hardware. The huge cooling system does its job well. The CPU can maintain around 3.80 / 2.60 Ghz P and E-core clock in longer loads and the GPU performance is also great since the RTX 4080 can show 2360 MHz after half an hour of gaming (which is a respectable result). The upgradability is on point – even one of the M.2 slots is for Gen 5 SSDs. The port selection amazes with its there Type-Cs, two Type-As, and an SD Card Reader. The base 1200p display (AUO B170UAN01.2 (AUOA9A6)) is a great choice for gamers who like to play competitive online shooters. This 165 Hz PWM-free panel offers very fast pixel response times (for an IPS unit) of just 6 ms.

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.
