MSI GF65 Thin 15.6" (256GB SSD, Intel Core i7-9750H, 2.70GHz, 8GB RAM) Gaming Laptop - Black (9S7-16W112-265)

Amazing product

It sure did not feel like it's refurbished, it felt like new and it's absolutely worth the price and more, would recommend it to anyone who wants a good gaming laptop. Though I had to buy another ssd storage and another 8 gb of ram, but you don't have to if you don't want to, the battery is not that great though but I have no problem with it.Read full review

This laptop runs HOT!

To be fair. The specs on this laptop were great for the price, it looks lovely, the brushed aluminium look is nice. I like the feel of the keyboard and the keys are big, a bonus. The red keyboard is awful though. They should ditch that really quickly.

Getting it home it runs fine although would really benefit from an extra 8gb of ram. I bought this refurb for £679 so i had spare cash for that upgrade. Nice.

Getting a game o, however, the temperatures shot to a toasty 95 degrees on both the gpu and cpu.

Now MSI will tell you thats acceptable but your components wont last as long as you might want them to at that temperature. Not saying months mind you but it will degrade. Secondly, the panel above the keyboard gets very toasty.

So i did some judicious research and tweaking and got it down to a reasonable temperature and it works fine. So this laptop isn’t for someone who isn’t afraid to get under the bonnet. It is however great value if you are willing to tweak it.

Overall its a actually a really nice laptop but it has an awful red keyboard. Mostly though, it runs too way too hot out of the box which will scare the average joe gamer to sending it back.

It is a gaming laptop though, it will run a temperature. If you get one, make sure you raise it up when gaming to let the air circulate under the grills on the underside.Read full review

Amazing Gaming Laptop

I wanted a new gaming laptop but didn't want to break the bank, I saw this laptop and it was very cheap for the specs, then I noticed that it was a refurb and therefore second hand, but when I researched what Grade A refurbs are (typically returns within 14 days), I decided to take the plunge and give it a go.

It arrived much earlier than the date I was quoted, and if I didn't know any better I would have thought it was brand new, it was in absolutely mint condition!

As for as the laptop itself goes, it's very a lovely looking machine, very fast, runs every game I've thrown at it with very respectable frame rates, my only gripe is that it's quite noisy when the fans kick in, but as I wear headphones most of the time, this isn't an issue - Really happy so far!Read full review

Smooth gaming

Awesome gaming laptop. It can smash most games at 60 fps+ thanks the the 2060. You can also get a decent hash rate for mining if set up correct
