Have had this laptop for a good bit now and love it. The 6700m and 5800h can handle the vast majority of games I throw at it but the best part is how light and thin it is. I don't use this as my daily gaming machine (desktop with a 3700x and rtx3080) so this is mainly a travel gaming machine. I do like how they went minimalistic on the looks of it, so it looks very sleek and like a normal professional laptop and doesn't scream RGB LOOK AT ME I AM A GAMING MACHINE


I will say a major downside to this computer is upgradability. Not to say you can't upgrade things like RAM and add additional nvme storage, but the motherboard is mounted upside down (part of the cooling configuration) so you have to fully remove the motherboard to upgrade which is more challenging

In-between a 3060 and a 3070. It is hard to compare to Nvidia because 3060 and 3070 don't mean anything when they can cap the tdp on them which knee caps the gpu

for example the 3060 can have 60,65,70,80,85,90,95,100,105,110 and 115w caps which effects how that device will function. 3070 laptops are also all over the place with some at 85 watts (Acer nitro 5), 90, 95, 100,105,110,115,125,130, 140 and apparently some 145watt units. comparing a 90 watt and a 140 watt 3070 would give you vastly different results, now trying to compare that to an AMD 6700m and... well .. you get the picture

One of the ways they managed the weight and more efficient cooling is that the entire body of the laptop is aluminum, not plastic. So the entire laptop body helps dissipate the heat. I haven't used this for serious amounts of time for gaming so not sure what the thermal throttling looks like but the benefit of it being an AMD advantage machine (AMD gpu and cpu) is the CPU and GPU are constantly adjusting their tdp relative to each other, so the CPU can throttle down if a game isn't CPU heavy and the tdp headroom can go to the gpu. They call this smartshift technology.


This laptop fulfilled 3 things I needed in a new "gaming laptop". minimalistic appearance so can still be used as a professional laptop in an office setting easily. thin and light... and full size keyboard, not the stupid small keyboard with the useless (to me) number pad on the right side.

So close for me, they almost had the keyboard perfect (particularly the column on the right side for extra keys like page up/page down). But they oddly decided to put the power button in the upper-right, moved delete down, and horribly combined home/end with page up/page down, so unfortunately my search continues.

I am when it's apparently this loud...

That and the 1080p screen on a 15.6". Just can't do it.
If you look at this list, the MSI delta is not too bad compared to others.

I've owned this laptop for over a year and play lots of games on it. I use it connected to a 1440p 144hz monitor. It works great! It does get very loud but can be configured to not turn the fans on when doing simple stuff through the admittedly terrible software.

Battery life is surprisingly good.
Upgrading the ssd is scary but possible due to the motherboard flip required.

It's a good good budget pick.

Also pulled the trigger and got one.
Seems like a good deal at this price point and for what I need (work and light gaming)

Interesting link! Thanks. Still definitely at the higher end of fan noise, mind. 56dB, ouch!

Just received this. Really nice laptop for the price point. The fan noise really isn't an issue. Can just adjust settings. Clean design. Trackpad is a bit small but pretty responsive.

Gpu is great for this price point (between 3060 and 3070). And definitely appreciate the clean design since I will likely use this for light work and travel so great flexibility overall. The battery is good.. think that was a bit overhyped but haven't really used it long enough to see the true value.

Overall satisfied with $900

Anyone use this but play no games at all? Bad idea if you don't play any games?

Not a bad idea, however if you don't use gpu intensive applications it's a waste of money in my eyes. Why not get an ultrabook or something half the price?

What's the warranty / return policy for something like this? Can I return it at Best Buy? Or do I have to purchase third party insurance?

I know this deal is over, but apparently these guys have a major enough hinge issue that there is a Class Action Lawsuit [classlawdc.com] underway. This model (Delta) is named.

Just a heads up; broken hinges are already a common enough problem, and the bezel is a softer plastic material so the breaks in the reviews seem legit. I'm putting in for a refund before the window closes. Too much money for something this risky.
