Reviews for the MSI Vector 17 HX A14VGG
Source: Techradar
The MSI Vector 17 HX gets a lot of things right with its expansive high refresh rate display, backed up by a cutting-edge storage solution, tons of RAM, and an all-star Intel Core i9 CPU. However, the quality of the display leaves a lot to be desired, and the RTX 4070 GPU inside means you won't get the most out of its 240Hz capability, especially at its native 1600p resolution.

The MSI Vector 17 HX (2024) has a lot going for it. You’re getting a lot of CPU horsepower, a GPU that’s fast enough to run many games at 1440p, a good QHD+ screen, fast storage and plenty of RAM. It’s no match for the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 or the Acer Predator Helios 18 in terms of graphics performance, but then it’s also substantially cheaper – we’re talking an extra £1000 or more left in the bank. Sure, it’s big, bulky and obnoxiously loud, but the Vector 17 gives you high all-round performance at a price you might just about afford.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

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

73.33%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
