Frequently Asked Questions
How thin and light is the MSI GF63?

What GPU does this laptop use, and how does the Max-Q variant differ?
It uses an NVIDIA GTX 1650 Max-Q with 4GB GDDR6. The Max-Q designation means the GPU runs at lower power and clock speeds compared to the full GTX 1650, trading a small amount of performance for reduced heat and thinner design.

What type of display does the GF63 have?
It features a 15.6-inch Full HD (1920x1080) display, suitable for gaming and everyday media consumption.
Can I upgrade the RAM later?
The GF63 uses DDR4 SO-DIMM memory, which is typically user-upgradeable, though you should consult MSI's documentation for the maximum supported capacity.
