Overview

The MSI GF63 Thin-15 is a budget-friendly gaming laptop that prioritizes storage capacity and memory over raw graphical horsepower. At its core is an Intel Core i5-10500H processor capable of boosting up to 4.5 GHz, paired with 32GB of DDR4 RAM — a generous allotment that ensures smooth multitasking whether you're gaming, streaming, or running creative applications simultaneously. The standout feature is the 4TB PCIe SSD, which provides a massive amount of fast storage for game libraries, media files, and projects without the need for external drives.

The NVIDIA GTX 1650 Max-Q with 4GB of GDDR6 handles esports titles and moderately demanding games at 1080p, though the 60Hz IPS display means you won't benefit from frame rates above 60fps. Connectivity is well-covered with three USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, USB-C, HDMI, an RJ-45 Ethernet jack, and Wi-Fi 6. The red backlit keyboard adds a gaming aesthetic to the thin chassis. Running Windows 11 Home with a bundled year of Microsoft 365 Personal, this laptop is a practical choice for users who want a capable all-rounder with exceptional storage space.
