It is only a 55W 5060 if that helps anyone.

Cyborg is bottom-of-the-barrel gaming laptop and lineup of MSI. The display is 250-300 nits 45% NTSC, the 5060 is only 55W MGP, a meagre 55 Whr battery, and subpar build quality. You are better off buying a higher or full wattage 5050 gaming laptop, which will outperform this. The refurbished Acer Nitro with a higher wattage 5050 and better display regularly goes on sale at Acer via eBay for less than this and is a much better device overall. Don't waste your money on this junk.

Woot is garbage for high end items too. Just bought a 'new' MSI desktop and the back connections look nothing like the pictures of the model number. Found out they changed the motherboard and claimed it was 'new'; even MSI does nor let you put in claims to them, just tell you that you need to talk to the retailer. Also, it was advertised as having 6000 DDR5 and the model numbers of the RAM are blatantly 4800 - overclocking to 6000 doesn't even post. MSI and Woot are a match made in hell

The facts don't support this statement. A full wattage 5050, even a boosted 5050, will not outperform a 55W 5060 due to overall better efficiency and higher CUDA cores. Easily verified through multiple benchmark sites, testing, and user experience. And that's not taking into account any thermal throttling from a full or OC 5050. By the numbers I'd say the gimped 5060 would outperform by ~ 10% (for reference a full powered 5060 would outperform by about 30% on average). Higher if there's a thermal impact on the 5050.

Word. It's a deal for a budget gaming laptop and it SOLD OUT fast.
