MSI GL65 Gaming Laptop: 15.6" Display, Intel Core i5-10300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, Win10, Black (10SCXK-211)

everything came as advertised, and i couldn't be happier. wasn't filled with a ton of ad ware and useless crap, light RTS gaming is great and daily work and reports are a breeze. can't say enough how much i have enjoyed this laptop over the last few months since I got it and I get compliments on it everywhere i go. great machine for the price.

The media could not be loaded. Beautiful screen and playing video games on it is smooth for the most part. It’s very lightweight and keyboard has RGB, great for light to medium gaming, great for school, powerful enough to do most you need.

This is a great Laptop For Gaming! The RGB Keyboard is cool! It's easy to use!

I got this for a replacement of another MSI laptop and am happy with it.Very fast and responsive with some nice features.RGB keyboard with different layouts or can be turned off (so wife does not complain when I am playing on it at night)Included software is nice and none seems to be what I would call bloatware. The MSI App player lets you play android games and was a bonus feature for me, as I was planning on downloading the software it is based on anyway.Very quite and so far has not gotten hot like the one it replaced did.Screen is crisp and colors are as they should beAnd the WI-FI is very fast compared to what the old laptop had.

I just bought this a week ago after the back and forth thoughts of “should I buy this or should I avoid it?” after seeing some of the reviews here. Some people say it’s not what comes in the box and that it has different hardware than specified. Maybe they have changed the description since then because I got exactly what is listed, model number, internal hardware and all including the GPU, but like I said, maybe they have edited the details so it’s correct, who knows. Anyway, I moved into this laptop from an XPS L501X from 2011 and still running windows 7 (which I miss already). So far this thing has been a beast for me. I ran a few games, not so much on the heavy graphics side of gaming but more than your average computer can handle. Everything ran flawlessly, CPU temp levels were fantastic, haven’t needed to use the cooler boost but I played with it anyway, it’s not terribly loud but it’s louder than you’d expect. Id say this machine is the perfect balance between what someone needs for an everyday workstation but also has an interest in doing a little gaming here and there. There are just a few things I don’t like and I wouldn’t say they’re “cons”, they’re just things I have to get used to. Having the ports on the sides, especially the power cord is a little odd but it does have a 90 degree elbow so it isn’t sticking out ridiculously far, but having flash drives sticking out near the front of the laptop, just be careful with your hands so that you don’t bump into it and bend or break anything upwards/downwards. The windows key being on the right side but not the left takes some getting used to. The ability to change all the keys light colors to how you want it is pretty great, there’s some presets as well. I usually keep it off but it’s fun to have sometimes. I was nervous about throwing the money down on this and I’ve been an XPS laptop fan for so many years but I’m happier with this laptop than I thought I’d be. Very well packaged and protected. The price is more than fair.

The battery life is trash. The game quality handling is good and it gets hot after extensive use tho it doesn't affect the functions

got this laptop for Fathers Day and I love it! Not sure what issue previous reviewers had but all the specs match the listing, my wife and son picked good with this one!super easy setup process out of the box with a couple of updates needed but had no issues with that. 60hz refresh rate so we’ll see how that impacts my game play. not doing anything too crazy so I assume it’ll be fine.looked into more of MSI’s laptops after setting this one up and im already adding one of their bigger gaming units to my Christmas list!

This laptop listed as (10SCXK-211) may appear to be a good deal and ultimately it is still a decent laptop but the specs are not accurate. The listing name and description state 2 different GPUs as 1650 Ti and then as 1660 Ti of which it is neither of these. It is actually a standard mobile 1650 NON-Ti. Now this doesn't make the biggest of differences but it is a step down in performance of what is the most expensive component in the machine (GPU in 2021).And now the biggest letdown; it is listed in the title and in the description that the laptop has a 144hz 1080p Display, but it is actually just a cheap 60hz panel with terrible viewing angles and minimal brightness, and yes I made sure it wasn't a driver or settings issue before I realized even the sticker on the box listing the specs does not mention 144hz. This feature adds the biggest value to a "gaming" laptop after the GPU.Now these things considered it is still a decent laptop and I have other uses for it so I went ahead and ordered another better gaming laptop from Amazon and reached out to amazon support about also keeping this one if they could compensate me for the specs being misrepresented and at least correct the specs on the Amazon listing. They originally offered a $10 discount but then offered $15 which I reluctantly accepted since I didn't want to have to send it back and I had already spent hours setting it up and updating it and then trying to figure out why I couldn't get the 144hz to work and decided I would just gift it to a family member. Amazon should understand the difference in value of these misstated specs and offer more than $15 for the difference, although I did have the option to send it back instead.So everyone just be warned that they still haven't changed the specs on the page and description. There is very little info to be found online of this particular model # in the listing but the actual specs are closer to MSI Model #: 10SCXK-066 which you can find info on from MSI website and the only difference between that 066 and this one is that the 066 has an extra 1TB HDD.For any prospective buyers considering this laptop, I suggest keep looking for a better deal.
