Compact 15.6-inch gaming laptop

The MSI GS65 pairs a six-core Intel Core i7-8750H processor with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card and 8GB of GDDR6 video memory. A 15.6-inch FHD display runs at 144 Hz with a 3ms response time. The system includes 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB SSD, all driven by Windows 11 Home.

Best for mobile gamers and creators

This suit users who want high frame rates in a thin 15.6-inch chassis for gaming, graphic design or workstation tasks. The 144 Hz panel and GTX 1070 deliver smooth motion in competitive titles. Buyers who need more than 512GB of internal storage or a newer GPU architecture should look at other models.

144 Hz 15.6-inch FHD display

The 15.6-inch panel with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and 144 Hz refresh rate is the specification that determines whether this laptop fits a high-refresh gaming workflow. A 3ms response time and 72% NTSC colour coverage support fast-paced play. If a 60 Hz screen or a different resolution is acceptable, alternative machines may cost less.
