Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
some uneven bleeding around the corners or edges of the screen
notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession
small dips in performance throughout the stress test
9mm in thickness
The fans are also noisy
the two stereo speakers is not bad
lack of Nvidia G-Sync is a miss
no screen tearing when whipping around corners
size negates a bit of that hard work
it does not offer a 4K display
users are limited to 1080p
it struggles in 3D
light intensity of the backlight is not lowered
MSI isn t the only company to complicate life like
lack of Nvidia G-sync or any other form of Adaptive sync

dimmer display and a thicker
heavier chassis
You cannot take the Gaming PC with you in the bag
missing the 67-fps average
it missed the premium gaming average of 57 fps
least-expensive system on this list
stresses the CPU rather than the GPU to render a complex image
choppy-looking dips below 60fps
weak battery life and a lackluster display
do not position the touchpad this close to the keyboard deck
bad to mediocre in his cramped Manhattan apartment
the touchpad can be unreliable at times due to its misguided placement
high refresh rate panels are little more than a cheap marketing ploy
The screen is another story altogether
low whistle when the fans initially went in
heavily beaten wings and an unearthly roar
s still room to grow
Fn row is a bit thinner than the rest of the keys
rarely be playing games with the laptop kept on your lap
the laptop did get slightly warm to the touch
trackpad buttons don't feel tactile enough and have a very mushy feel
it s never an uncomfortable experience
Google Fi s most expensive and comes with unlimited data
Alameda took huge losses when Luna went down
and sloppy accounting
it doesn t look cheap
it s not likely to solve the problems with Windows on Arm

The MSI GS65 is now even faster than before with new RTX Turing graphics and an optional 240 Hz display. Still, you may want to consider the RTX 2070 Max-Q SKU as the RTX 2080 Max-Q is not all that much faster.
