Newest 12th Gen MSI Pulse GL76 Gaming Laptop, 17.3″ 144Hz FHD + IPS Display, Intel i7-12700H 14-Core, RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6, 32GB DDR4 4TB PCIe SSD, RGB Backlit KYB, BT 5.2 Win10 Pro

Pros: – the graphics card is obviously great
– it has a sophisticated and gamer feel to it.
– it works really well for games and content creation.

Cons: – fan sometimes blows like crazy

Overall Review: – I would recommend it for any purpose laptop (gaming, content creation, work, etc.)
– Connect to a 2 monitor to have the full experience.

Pros: Very powerful for the price.
2 NVME slots for a second SSD.
Slim and Lightweight
60+ FPS on pretty much anything 1080p.

Cons: Port placement makes right handed mouse use a challenge
Webcam driver has a weird issue where you cant turn on the webcam and have to shut down and hold the power button for 7 seconds. Maybe the issue will be resolved in the future.
Battery length is a bit short when GPU is not being used.
Screen is a bit of an underwhelming quality

Overall Review: A very powerful laptop at a great price however not perfect. The port placement can make using a mouse near impossible without getting snagged on wires in a confined spot and the webcam driver has a weird issue that is a brief hassle to fix.

It plays pretty much anything 1080p 60fps and has rock solid performance. Rare stutters with intense power usage and everything runs like a dream.

I would absolutely buy this laptop again despite the 4 stars. But the issues with the webcam and the port placement may be a deal breaker for some, especially if you’re gonna be using this bad boy for work, too.

Pros: -GPU lives up to expectations
-not that heavy

Cons: -loud fan
-can’t change RGB on keyboard
-sound quality is bad
-already sent in for RMA service once

Overall Review: I can’t say I would recommend or purchase this laptop again. It only took three weeks of using it for it to have problems. Shipped it back for repair and the issue was LCD cables being loose or something. They got it fixed and delivered back pretty quick, but this is not worth the hassle. As another review pointed out some people show their model with changed colors on keyboard, which does not apply for this, check the specifics before if stuff like that is going to be important to you. I don’t really know much about gaming laptops since this is my first one but the BIOS it came as looks a lil wonky. If you have an extra few hundred bucks, buy the 3070/80 instead. Overall it isn’t too bad, it just could’ve been way better.

Pros: From what I’ve read about this laptop, I was expecting something less refined. This laptop is sleek and fast! If you plan on using this on your lap, I recommend getting a cooler pad such as the Coolermaster Notepal X-Slim because it does get quite warm when gaming. With the pad, temps are much improved and I can even overclock the GPU without issues.

Cons: The screen is okay but does lack some shadow detail.

Overall Review: Glad I picked this up.

Pros: -No issues running games at decent FPS
-144Hz Display is very nice
-good hardware for the price point

Cons: -Removal of the back of the laptop is very difficult
-There is a hidden screw that you need to remove that is not intuitive at all, leading to flex and possible breakage of the board if not removed
-Motherboard does not have many screws into the chassis leading to many flex points when taking off the back.
-The manual does not have any instructions on how to remove the backing to install any upgrades, despite that being labled as a price point.

Overall Review: -Would recommend if the manual were updated to have proper instructions on how to take apart the laptop to replace or upgrade components
-Honestly, might be best if you are planning on adding another SSD to simply get a different laptop that has better methods of taking it apart.

Pros: It ran RDR2 surprisingly well for a laptop

Cons: It took it about 2 months before the GPU fried itself on Minecraft.

Overall Review: I played over the 2 months, unmodded MC for about 2 hours a week, and dedicated 2 sessions in 3 hour periods to MGSV.

The longevity is lackluster at best considering my 2018 GS what-the-hell-ever lasted all the way up till June 30th of 2021.

Stay away from notebooks at all costs if you intend on gaming in any capacity.

Pros: Nice colors and keyboard is great. Easy set up. Screen colors are vibrant and bright.

Cons: gets a bit hot

Overall Review: I would recommend this product. It’s my first gaming computer and I’m super happy with it. I did buy a cooling pad and that helps offset the heat. And it really only gets hot when gaming for a long period at a time. I’ve only played 1 or 2 games so far but they look amazing and I haven’t had any issues with games so far.
