Nah all these low end/mid range MSI laptops are garbage, avoid. Better off with HP Omen 3060 1070$ or legion 5 3060.

Rather than just say they're garbage, can you explain as to why they are? And how they suggested models are better.
Thanks.

They actually are not horrible. Just not great at any one thing. I have the gf65 and it is nice and quiet, but not the strongest 3060 version. Haven't had any issues with it over the last 6 months.

Thanks! I appreciate the additional info.

I know how to build computers but haven't kept with the latest computer tech in the last few years. What do you mean by not the strongest 3060 version? Do you mean this to say that a Ti or super version is better? I knew that but I have heard many slickdealers comment on wattage on laptops, specifically the wattage used for GPU's? Is this what you're referring to? This I do not understand, and if so how do you tell which laptops offer better "strengths" of GPU's? TIA

30 series gpu's are not all creatures equal even within the same 30x0 chip. Some cheaper options will pull significantly lower wattage, causing them to run slower causing them to not push as many frames. Hope this helps.
