MSI Cyborg 15, Intel 12th Gen. i7-12650H, 40CM FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop (16GB/512GB NVMe SSD/Windows 11 Home/Nvidia GeForce RTX4050, 6GB…

MSI Cyborg is not translucent as it claims to be. There are many flaws hidden beneath the translucent chasis. Lets begin:

Display – Display is the part we most interact in a Laptop. We constantly watch the screen and paying upwards of 1 lakh for an FHD 144HZ panel with poor color calibration. This means what you see is ain’t the good thing.🫣

Processor – The brain 🧠 of the computer. Here also we get a 12th gen Intel core i5 processor that performs good but does not justify the price.

Graphics card – Here is the trick. On paper it has RTX 4050 with 6GB GDDR6 memory but the wattage is 45W with Dynamic boost. Ideally it shall run lower say strt from as low as 15W !🙁! It has MAX-Q version of NVIDIA graphics. The performance will be lower than any rtx 3060 and may be an 85W 3050TI surpass this where video memory is not the bottleneck as it has 4GB of VRAM. And 3060 laptops start from 80-85k amd 3050ti can be had with 75k.

Keyboard and mouse – Keyboard has good travel bit the keys lack the feel of a good mechanical. But it descent enough for the price.

What isn’t descent is the track pad. It could have bigger and has a very wobbly feel.

Design – Amazing design. They have truly justified the name and it looks quite funky.
It is comparatively light at just 1.98 Kg !!

Battery – good enough to last 4 hours on normal use

Verdict – BUY this only if you need rtx 4050 dearly or the design and weight is a primary need for a gaming laptop. In every other scenario there are better laptops available for lesser price.

I’m using this laptop since a week and fully satisfied with this laptop, Best for gaming, I played GTA 5 with ultra graphics very high settings and no performance issues, also laptop is light weight compare to other gaming laptops.
