I want to buy a 15 to 17 inch screen gaming laptop that has a numerical keypad and is not too heavy.
MSI ticked all the boxes except they all seem to be preloaded with 8gb ram and not 16gb like they are back in the USA. Odd.
Do any of you own or have owned an MSI laptop? How was the build quality? Fan noise? Heat issues? Bloatware? Screen resolution quality?
I want to get some good opinions before I buy.
If you have other suggestions, Im all ears.
Buy the extra DRAM and load it in before they hand it over to you.
After Asustek, MSI is like the #2 or #3 biggest motherboard maker globally (shared with Gigabyte, I always forget which one has which position). So, you can see the quality of Asustek notebooks. I’d imagine MSI ain’t too far behind. Years ago, we bought an MSI iPod-like handheld music player. Worked like a charm and never had any problems, and that was when iPod was just coming out. So, MSI caught the technology trend rather quickly.
And, here’s wiki on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-Star_International
Notice this point about it and I think your decision will be made for you:
“The company has been a sponsor for a number of eSports teams[7] and is also the host of the international gaming event MSI Masters Gaming Arena (formerly known as MSI Beat IT).”
