Two units have failed. We were able to return the first to Amazon (which has a fabulous return policy) but the second one failed a week after the return period expired. My granddaughter, who received the machine from me as her birthday present, is contacting the manufacturer. Well see what happens, but right now I would say: “Don’t buy this machine!”

I received my MSI GS75 yesterday. For years I have been what most people would consider a nerd, or a techie. Ive built computers and spent exorbitant amounts of money on unnecessary purchases in the tech field. This is no exception. When I turned this thing on it was nearly instant. I had a 2 year old lenovo yoga before this and it was great, but nowhere near the speed this thing is going to offer. I have already downloaded BFV and Civ 6. In Battlefield I am getting over 60 fps with ultra settings and RTX on. The new DLSS update seems to have worked like they said it would. In Civ the turns are insanely fast. I have spent years playing that game and spent even more years waiting in-between turns. Those days are gone ladies and gentlemen. I cant wait to see what else this thing has to offer in terms of performance, but as for the other qualities theyre great too. The keys feel like the chiclet apple-style keys, theyre great. The RGB on presets alone on the keyboard are impressive, although I set mine to a steady color immediately. I/O on this laptop is untouchable. There just arent many thin and lights offering this amount of ports, I have more than enough. Lastly, the weight and form-factor. They cannot be any better. The laptop is slightly below five pounds and slightly above 6 pounds with the charger. It is thinner than my lenovo and barely heavier. The size of the screen is misleading, in the best possible. When you open GS75 (with your weakest finger) you are really able to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this device. The bezels are pushed out to the furthest limits, allowing for maximum screen and very little bulk as far as carrying goes. I hope you guys all enjoy this thing as much as I do!

Although I paid for a an over night shipping, this unit came in much later than then what when its supposed to be delivered. But, no points are taken off for that. As I am a proud owner of a GS65 also from Best Buy RTX2060. What I like: Per key RGB is beautiful and stunning. Pressing the Fn key lights up the available Fn key is cool. The touch pad feels smooth (but too wide... no joke please). The brand is good. NVMe PCIe SSD is decent, far from the best, but I can live with that. Its really thin, and without the compromise of no LAN or no camera. Overall, a good looking notebook. What I dislike: No mDP, which is strange, because my GS65 has a mDP, and many of my friends have mDP to DP cable for external G-sync monitor. I am forced to carry my own cable if Im at friends house. None of my friends has Type C display, nor Type C to DP cable. The windows button. Although for gaming, I sometimes disable my windows button. The windows button is on the right side of the space bar. I mean I can get used it if I really try, but come on... GS65 and GS75 both RTX, and different KB layout? And dont get me started with the " | " and " " keys..... Yes. KEYS. Why is it so important to have a duplicate of this key cap. No biggy. I guess. This is nip picking. No points taken off. Its just annoying. Minor light leak when system is totally black. No points taken off. I think its typical. Its just hard to fix when the bezel seems to be glued to the screen. Leakage is not noticeable in normal usage on my system. My biggest complaint is not on MSI, but just this particular unit that I have. System at or around idle, I saw 86 degree frequently, and fans constantly pulse between quiet and the next level. Some of the lightest load, 6-7% CPU load, a second later, the fans start going bunkers. Running a simple 3DMARK11P, temp went up to 97-99 degree many times. Granted, I shouldnt be running monitoring device while running benchmark. It was because of the thermal throttling that I was experiencing that trigger my curiosity to monitor the temp. Add salt to the wound. I wouldve been ok to take apart the system, and attempt to re-paste the system, as needed, had it not been the "FACTORY SEAL" covering one of the screw holes. I dont want to void any factory warranty, should it come to that down the road. Looking at my other MSI notebook. I would guess mine is just an one off for temperature issue.

I tried the MSI GS65 Stealth with the 1070 max-q, and while I liked the design and loved the battery life I found it limited. The mother board was upside down and made upgrading a pain which was a serious problem since the storage was limited to 512 GBs. However they have improved on that slightly with the GS75. While the motherboard is still upside down so repasting and swapping ram is still a chore, it now has 3 M.2. drive slots accessible by just removing the bottom! Makes expanding your storage a breeze. I can not stress how important it is to make sure you get a build with 2 sticks of ram in it for dual channel. Unless you are very comfortable taking apart then putting back together laptops you dont want to do anything more to this than add SSDs, you have been warned. The performance while playing Anthem is amazing and my benchmarks are about what was expected. Nothing life changing, but much cooler than the GTX laptops and slightly better performance. Hopefully as RTX gains more traction and the drivers improve there will be a much more noticeable performance gain over RTX. However if youre an early adopter like me then you know how things go, and as such dont be surprised by the naysayers talking about your marginal gains. The real advantage here is all the power from GTX and more with lower thermals. No more laptops you can cook an egg on! Over all I love it, I just wish it was a bit more powerful hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Still i highly recommend this to anyone who doesnt mind dropping 3K on a thin and light desktop replacement.

Aesthetics and Gaming performance Beautiful Laptop, theres no denial there. The customization and colors of the keyboard are a wonderful bonus. It takes some time getting used to it, but once youre used it rocks. Strangely I dont get as many compliments on the "RTX" series sticker as opposed to my "Disco" preset keyboard lighting. Go figure. The graphics card speaks for itself in many ways and lives up to the expectation, in my opinion. Theres still some faults, but optimization of the 2080 max q will come with time. The big thing here is that you can run any game on max settings and usually get between 60 - 100fps. The even bigger thing here is the amount of all that hardware in such a slim laptop. It definitely overpowers desktops in terms of performance on gaming. I dont think we need to get to much into gaming, as you can look at the hardware and just imagine the FPS on Ultra setting. Upgrades - I bought a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB SSD and Migrated then changed the boot BIOS to that, and have kept original 512 SSD as storage. Overkill? Why yes, yes it is. But in addition to gaming, I need all the space for apps like Unity 3D, Android Studio , Oracle, Eclipse, etc etc. So I needed more than the stock 512 IMO. Start up time? Whats that? Screen quality is beautiful. I mean are there better resolutions? Yes. Will you notice? Not really. Portability - I bought an Anti-Theft backpack advertised as 17" along side this and it fits, rather too tight , into it. I still havent gotten passed the treat it like its made of super thin glass phase. But the portability is easier than my 15 inch Toshiba, and with the thin size can slip easily into 17 inch bags/sleeves. Is it worth 3,000? Why yes, yes it is. Do not regret my purchase, and will go as far as saying this has opened my eyes to MSI, to which I approached with caution before. Will definitely update within a couple months to see how everythings going. Another quick note - When Im playing a resource heavy game, and have the fans on full blast(If you didnt know you can change the speed of the fans from within the dragon center) it does a wonderful job of keeping everything cool. SIDE NOTE - if you are upgrading the storage, the M2 slots already have the screws, but only a single pair SO DONT LOSE THEM. Maybe worth mentioning? - Start up to login takes about 15-20 seconds. And half the time takes less than that. Honestly this laptop can take whatever you hurl at it. Stop reading and buy.

I bought this machine to replace my old Dominator, which weighs about 100 pounds and is the size of a steamer trunk. (Well, not really, but it felt like that lugging it around.) I create mods, which means a lot of 3D modeling and texture work as well as playing them so I wanted the best I could get in a laptop form factor. And as I designer, I wanted something that looked good. That Dominator is butt-ugly. The GS75 is just about perfect. First, its gorgeous -- black and gold, slim, nice detailing. It may be expensive as hell but at least MSI gave you the full luxury unpacking experience from classy box to doily to keep finger grease off your screen. The machine typeface on the keyboard I could take or leave but the keyboard itself has a nice feel. The individual key lights are fun, maybe somewhat practical. When you hit the function key, the function keys light up which is a cool touch. In fact there are a bunch of small touches like that that speak to a level of quality and attention to detail. The screen is very nice--bright, good color. Playing games, the graphics processor pretty much screams. I really have hardly any criticisms. The large touchpad is really nice. I dont love that its centered on the machine--it would be better centered under the alpha keyboard. I have a bad feeling that was an aesthetic decision. But it hasnt interfered with typing. The power cord has the stupid knuckle an inch from the end, positioned to catch the edge of the table when you set the laptop down. But its on the side where you see it, so its not so much of an issue. In sum: expensive, ya, but you do get what you pay for.

Ive been looking at getting a laptop since November 18. I picked up a Gigabyte Aero 15X, but was a lemon and had to return it. Hesitant to by another Gigabyte again, I thought I would wait until the CES show in January to see what the new models would be; Im glad I did! There were no thin/powerful 17" laptops around until then, and thats what I wanted. This laptop checked all the boxs; its amazingly fast, has a high refresh rate, room for 3 SSDs, 17" screen, a separate num pad, a top end GPU, and pretty decent battery life for whats inside. I did undervolt the CPU by -150mV and did a repaste (their paste job was kinda so-so). Runs like a champ! ***6/4/19 Update*** My laptop drains about 3%-4% of battery per day while off. After trying everything under the sun that I read online to no avail, I reached out to MSI. I received an RMA number, but was told it itll be 3-5 business days before they unbox it, and another 10-30 business days for in-house turn around time. I could be without my laptop that I use for everything for well over a month, which was a no-go for me. I asked if I could buy a battery (it would be a better alternative than paying to ship my laptop back to them and losing it for so long) from them, and was given model number for the battery (BTY-M6L ) and told to check online. Im not willing to risk a $3000 laptop on a battery from a sketchy website. Not happy with the way this was handled at all. Dropped the review rating from 5 to 3 stars as I expect more from this $$$ of a laptop. If MSI reaches out to me with a better solution, Ill revise my review.

Tiene un look amazing, muy burn performance, aunque mi expectativa era mayor, también tiene un problema grave que se recalienta y vivo en una zona caliente entonces constantemente hay que poner el fan al maximo (lo que hace que contrarie su característica de ser silencioso) también los parlantes son muy malos. Aparte de eso si es increíblemente liviana. Pero haciendo benchmarking con su competidor la nueva Zephyrus, creo que sería mejor

This laptop performs like your home power PC. Yet its light and compact as well. My only complaint: the keys seem completely flat, so I found it hard to center my fingers, and often hit two adjacent key simultaneously.
