I would highly recommend this laptop! You get what you pay for, assuming you get the right thing. I've seen that some people received faulty units or a used one after buying it new, and those are real problems--they're not problems with what this product is, though; they're separate issues. I expect that, once more people buy this thing, the quality control and shipping issues will be smoothed out. Maybe give it time and buy this later, but definitely buy this! Several of the bad reviews this laptop has gotten have been about the laptop's design, like its weight or noise level. This is a gaming laptop; this device's nature is like that of a gaming laptop. Both attributes are within a normal range for what gaming laptops are meant to be; you're buying portable desktop power. I've played games on this thing with max video settings and I don't think the fans were at even half their maximum speed, and the games ran flawlessly, well above the screen's refresh rate. Noise should not be an issue, unless you'd set the fans to max and complain. Everything I've thrown at this rig hasn't even come close to turning the fans to max, so I'm not sure what you'd do that would need it🤷 I haven't tested the battery life, but...come on. This is a gaming laptop; you're not buying it for battery life. Take the charger with you, and a full desktop-level battlestation is yours to take anywhere. I'm a student and want to do my work(game development and 3d asset pipelines) in multiple places, and this rig will let me do it with ease. Students- you should tell your parents a "decent everyday laptop for casual office use" costs $3k! The screen is easily the best screen I've had! 1440p with a few extra pixels on the bottom to make it a 16:10 aspect ratio give me a huge amount of screen space, and I feel much more comfortable doing art, games and dev work on this rig than on my previous 15" gaming laptop. The color accuracy is also amazing; everything looks more vibrant! Read more

Because my usual online store was out of stock on these, I ordered from Amazon. I actually ordered 2 of these my spouse and I - my spouse got the lucky one where the fan doesn't run constantly. I didn't.... I have a platform (with open fans) underneath this laptop, and it's inclined so it doesn't sit flat. Still, the fan kicks on nearly any time I do anything and it's incredibly loud - enough to be intrusive when playing pc games. It's not Amazon's fault - however, had I known that some of the models have this issue, I would have purchased a different item. Read more

This is a quality machine! Had one issue about an hour into downloading it froze and had to enter windows bit key then took about 2 hours to resolve but besides that this is the most powerful and fastest computer I've ever had. It runs hot, the CPU is especially. It idles at 147 dagrees so be sure to have a cooling pad, it is a must. Preferably a Llano brand, its the only brand that can successfully cool this extremely demanding machine. I can not express the extreme level of quality of the graphics this laptop is capable of. I can play any demanding game on ultra and it eats it like a snack with exceptional ease. Ultra with max FPS. Iv never seen this high of FPS with quality of graphics. I own another MSI Raider with a 3060 so this has been an enormous leap for me. I would never buy any other brand then MSI. The quality is unmatched and they are biult for ease of maintenance unlike other top tier brands. I highly recommend this laptop if you have to money for it. Read more

My Three Cents: I spent weeks hunting for the perfect upgrade, and my search finally ended on Amazon last week when I pulled the trigger on the MSI Vector 16 HX AI. Didn’t wait for Amazon Prime day as there weren’t any deals. First off, this thing is gorgeous. The "Cosmo Gray" finish is subtle but stunning, giving it a premium, almost professional look that I love. It doesn't scream "gamer" with over-the-top designs, but the moment you power it on and the per-key RGB keyboard lights up, you know it means business. It feels incredibly solid and well-built, a truly high-end piece of hardware. But the main event is that 16-inch QHD+ display. The 240Hz refresh rate is a game-changer. The smoothness in every motion, from just moving the cursor on the desktop to whipping around in a fast-paced shooter, is something you have to see to believe. Paired with the raw power of the Intel Core Ultra 9 and the RTX 5070 Ti, it's an absolute dream. Getting this laptop from Amazon was a breeze, and the experience of using it has been even better. The MSI Vector 16 is a perfect blend of sophisticated design and monstrous gaming power. If you're looking for a no-compromise gaming laptop that delivers on every front, this is it. It’s a great gaming laptop for sure! Read more
