Quote from neo_1221 :
YMMV depending on the CPU, but unless you get an especially bad bin you can usually undervolt without reducing frequency. I can get -100mv on my i7-7700HQ without reducing CPU clocks or adding any instability.

How? Most laptop bioses give you no CPU tweaking options.

Quote from gunnerxl :
Couple questions for those in the know:

1) gaming capable laptop or underpowered video card?

2) how's msi warranty?

3) is ram and nvme upgradable?

4) rebate a newegg gift card?

5) any chance Amazon will price match?
1) gaming capable, but MSI has laptops geared towards gaming specifically, this is a content creator laptop.
2) the warranty is great, and you'll likely need it. QC on MSI machines is flat bad.
3) yes, but there's only one slot for each
4) rebate cards are typically checks, not sure
5) amazon doesn't price match, and they're usually not too generous with MSI Prestige pricing

If you're looking for a gaming laptop with a decent lifespan, this isn't it. ​

You can undervolt the CPU and lock the FPS for the GPU to get a better balance with performance and heating, see the article here. It's not hard to do, but I agree that MSI should have done a better job at this in the manufacture

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1...undervolt/
I'm all for other's being saavy enough to undervolt their PC, its not hard to do really. It just doesn't always solve the issue since the heat can be immense even for just watching a youtube video or taking a zoom call (especially with heavy power machines like this). Most people aren't going to take a risk with buying an $900 computer online with a pretty high probability to overheat when not even pushing the machine, to just rely on undervolting to make the purchase worth it.

In reality, people should buy for their use case more than buying because some computer's spec configuration seem to be a bargain, which often times there's a reason for that when it comes to new laptops unfortunately. Laptop manufacturer's should start making more practical options for machines (1440p options instead of only 4k, upgradeable ram and ssd, utilize other chipsets beyond Intel's for every single option on a laptop, dedicate more resources into thermals being controlled so users are happier/dont return their products) but no, as with most industries they make short sighted decisions and will take 5 to 10 years to adjust to making a healthier field for consumers as right now, theyre only concerned with selling you the machine and you being happy long enough to not return it

Before you buy a laptop you need to look at the printed reviews and the YouTube videos from people who perform a thorough review. Looking at a review from Jarrod's Tech, he was not positive on this laptop. It didn't play games well, it ran hot, it wasn't that great in content workloads and the battery life was just ok for such an expensive laptop (His was $1,700). It seems that MSI went for portability over performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Q-UyjTgVY

There are good laptops out there, you just need to find them. I am using a Lenovo Legion 5 with a 1660ti, that I picked up on an Amazon Warehouse deal for $750 in November. It performs well and I have no problems with thermals. It is dead quiet unless gaming where the fans ramp up.

In my opinion it is not good time to buy gaming computers right now. Everything is expensive compared to November of last year. If possible I would wait.

Thanks mate, agree on a lot of the points here I think.
One thing, I went to see the Lenovo Legion 5 demo unit in store recently and I was absolutely surprised by how dim the screen was. I felt like even at max brightness, and plugged in. And then I went home and checked on official Lenovo site and sure enough I saw the max nits was either 250 or 300, depending on the configuration (didn't catch which screen type the demo unit was specifically).

Curious do you find the brightness levels acceptable on your unit ?

Hmm, I'm considering this deal. I'll mainly be using the laptop for general use, netflix/hulu and light gaming (like Civ 5, AoE, etc).

A nice screen is probably most important for me and I like that this is 4k. Do you think this would work for my purposes or are the thermals and stuff people have mentioned going to be an issue?

That "Military Grade" rating scares me… if you served, you know that's a scary scale to be grading on. Otherwise looks like a great machine for anyone looking for some power in a small package. Very tempting for a traveling work computer compared to the basic laptop I have now (and what most companies offer as standard issue).

15.6" models aren't much heavier but it catches up to you so much when carrying a good distance, especially daily. Wish I had this when commuting to college. Great deal if you have a 4K monitor needing a source that'll give it what it wants. Going from 4K to a 1080p monitor is a struggle, especially at 14", a 25-27" 1080 monitor is going to look like poo.

I find the levels fine, but I am not use to high-end laptops or displays. I am not sure how the adjustment for display brightness works. When going in windows settings by brightness level is close to 100%, however the Nvidia Control Panel shows my brightness at 50% and if a crank it to 100% it blows everything out. So evidently there are two controls for brightness. Also my laptop has the 144 hz 5 ms display. There may be other displays for this model.

This is the model I have.

and a review.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b...pRw&t=517s

In November it was $1,000 regular price but it dropped down to $900 on a deal. I purchased mine from the Amazon Warehouse for $750. Although the description said it had scratches and scuffs mine was in like-new condition but was not in the original box. According to Lenovo, the warranty is active unto Sept 2021 even though Amazon said no warranty.
