MSI Gaming Core I7 8Th Gen 15.6-Inch Gaming Fhd Thin and Light Laptop (8Gb/1Tb HDD/Windows 10/4Gb Graphics/Black/1.86Kg), Gf63 8Rc-239In - Intel

I'm writing this review after 12 days of usage. Amazon delivered the product in mint condition. Kudos!!Coming to the product, it's got really good specs for the price. I purchased it for 66K. It's quite slim and lightweight and one can easily carry it in a backpack without having to worry about the weight, but the down side to that is it doesn't have a full sized keyboard; meaning the num pad is not present. It looks great and has got a nice premium look because of the brushed aluminum finish on top.Now about the specs and usage, the first thing I did was go to the MSI service center and had an SSD installed. I went with Samsung 970 Evo Series - 250GB PCIE NVME - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V7E250BW). With this upgrade the performance is blazing fast. Remember that any laptop with any kind of spec is going to be slow and unresponsive without an SSD. If you want to fully appreciate this machine and unlock it's full potential then go ahead and install an SSD, it makes a night and day difference. A complete restart takes around 10-12 seconds and it's ready for use immediately without any wait. The i7 8750H processor handles anything that's thrown at it's way. The 1050 GPU is good enough for me as I'm not a hardcore PC gamer. It does the job for me in handling most of the games at medium to high graphics at 30-40fps. The display is IPS and colors are pretty accurate (not the best) and because of the slim bezels, media consumption on this thing is a delight. Battery life is good but don't expect the claimed 7hrs. I get around 5hrs with browsing, YouTube and some movies with power saver settings turned on before it drops down to 10%. Of course this won't be the case when it's running games. In the end it's a good laptop for day to day use and some gaming. I would rate this as follows. Go ahead and buy this, you won't regret it.Price: 10/10Performance: 9/10 (With an SSD)NOTE: The product was having some charging issues. It wouldn't charge when I connect the charger and I'd have to disconnect it multiple times and then it randomly decides to charge again. This problem eventually fixed by itself but I'm not sure if the problem was with the charger or the battery. This might have happened just in my case

Overall the laptop is good deal for the money spent... screen is excellent , and awesome speed , performance wise good need to see how it performs with ssd to unleash the full potential ...surprisingly very light weight..consPathetic key response probably need to get adjusted to it after using so many years acer timelinex 5830tg which is years of ahead.. compared to build quality, lookwise and keyboard response of it only changing it as it has 2core 4 threads i5 2nd gen processor.Trackpad is hanging at one endLight weight plastic feelNEVER MIND THIS ONE WILL LAST FOR 6-8 years anyway.

Function keys are coming out not good for typers takes more than half and hour to install Microsoft appsBattery is good u can watch 2 to 3 movies on fully charged laptopKeyboard is so soft....And i also have problem with my camera app i have searched in youtube but cant find the solutionPls... Coment here if u have the sameproblem in u r msi notebook

First of all MSI has good brand reputation among gamer in Desktop field but lags in laptop areas.Still Laptops products are good however needs some improvement in their products when competing with ASUS and Dell Brands.I will directly go to Pros/consPro:1) 8th Gen Intel core i7-8750H- Hexa core performance (6 core), 9 M cache, 2.2 GHz - 4.1 GHz(Turbo Boost)2) Battery- Last longer compared to other gaming laptops but gamers are adviced to play with power connected for best performance.3) Steel Series Keyboard (Red Light matching MSI logo not RGB). Keyboard Light has 3 level brightness and can be turned off.4) Dual GPU - Intel® UHD Graphics 630 for power saving and Nvidia GTX 1050 4GB for intence Graphics computing.5) Upgradable -i) has 1 more RAM slot available and max upgrade to 32 GB. ii) SSD NVMe M.2 slot available Fast storage.6) Sleek and Light weight - Good for carrying around while at College or Work.7) 2 Year warranty + 3 months additional (After registering in MSI website fill the Questionnaire of 10 min-13 questions)- 3 months additional warranty is only applicable if no warranty extension of 1 or 2 year is available on laptop.8) Chargers is sleek to carry if needed.9) Easy configurable Dragon Centre 2.0 for multiple profiles.Cons:1) Initial windows setup took 30 minutes. Initial setup and tweaks are required for performance as it is not available out of box.2) Windows full of bloatware not laptop issue but microsoft. Norton AV and Studio shall be removed it hits performance like 40%.3) Display - Brightness is not very high at maximum but its decent for indoor work and gaming (need 80%) however in broad daylight it is a issue.4) Aluminum Brush finish looks good but Finger marks of Oil and dirt looks good too:) but can be removed easily.5) Touchpad: Little wavy on bottom sides by around 0.5mm but i dont know if it is bad or good. However build quality is good.6) Pre partition of drives are horrible see attachments.7) MSI provided 1 TB HDD instead it should have been 256 GB SSD that would be in same price range and should have increased the true potential of the laptop.In overall i got the laptop at less than 60k with all the offers which is having lot more features than 80k Laptops in this range so drawbacks can be overlooked. At 70k also the price are competitive.All purchasers please be sure that MSI customer care is available near your area or it will be painful if something goes wrong. In metro cities we have but in small cities MSI reach is not available and warranty is offline and not at your doorstep.Please comment if any help required. I will be happy to answer. Have Fun Work and Gaming on New Sleek gaming Laptop.

1. Battery life very poor it won't last more than a hour if you play CS Go and Dota 2 or any high graphics games2. Laptop gets hot in no time even keyboard will be hot after a while3. Takes too long to charge a battery ( I had purchased this laptop on 5th March 2020)Will add more later once I find anything

Exactly after 18 months, the battery got buldged and the laptop dead. The screen started flickering as well. There are not authorized service centers in Chennai.Earlier Review"Laptop performance is great for the first 4 months but the sound quality decreases over time. The battery performance is also ok in overall gaming laptops.
