What are your thoughts on the MSI GF63 Thin? Would you consider purchasing it?
I'm searching for an affordable laptop that can handle ff14 endwalker fairly well. Could this be the right choice for me?
It features an i5-10500H processor, a GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, 8GB RAM (2666 MHz, upgradable to 64GB), and a 256GB SSD. The price is around $550.
What are your thoughts on this device?
Would it meet my requirements?
P.S.: I can't play games on a desktop right now.
The Acer Aspire 5 I was considering earlier is no longer available, so this seems like the next best option I found.
It's a decent laptop, I purchased one and was somewhat let down. The 1650 model was easily surpassed by other laptops with the same 1650 chipset, mainly because of its design that included integrated Intel graphics, which introduced a performance hit. This likely explains why it was offered at a lower price when I bought it. It also felt more unstable and choppy, even in games exceeding 100 FPS—this suggests the 1650 output is indeed limited by Intel graphics.
The CPU is solid with six cores and twelve threads, though it tends to overheat under load; the cooler struggles to keep up, often throttling when I set it to what appears to be MSI's MaxBoost setting. It gets quite loud during this.
Overall, it's a functional machine, but you shouldn't expect smooth performance. Upgrading storage and memory would improve things. It should handle most games reasonably well. Good luck!
