This MSI gaming laptop combines an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor with a GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card for high-frame-rate play and content creation. It ships with 32GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD running Windows 11 Pro. The 15.6-inch FHD panel refreshes at 144Hz for smooth motion.

Built for competitive gamers and creators

The 8-core CPU reaching 5.2 GHz and 8GB GDDR6 GPU suit esports titles, streaming and moderate 3D workloads. Buyers who need a higher-resolution screen, a larger chassis or longer unplugged runtime should evaluate other models.

144Hz 15.6-inch FHD display decides fit
