FAQs
Can it handle heavy loads like rendering a 3D model or exporting audio/video files?
This particular variant that comes with i5 13420H along with RTX 4050 has a solid performance when it comes to handling games and other heavy rendering tasks like 3D/audio/video. However the i7 variant can be slightly better but this particular variant is also the most value for money.
Can it handle games?
Yes, this is a decent combination for handling good games. It can handle games of AAA titles like a GTA V or Cyberpunk 2077, World of Warcraft, Minecraft, The Witcher 3, God of War 4, FIFA 23, Gotham Knights, and more.
How good is the battery?
52.4Wh is on the lower side of the battery capacity. The processor i5-13420H particularly on the MSI thin is a power hungry processor because it is 'H' series processor. Since it has lower battery (which explains the lower weight compared to its competitors) the battery life is very minimal for its use. It should give about 3-3.5 hours on a normal usage.
Is it worth upgrading to the i7?
Though there are differences between the i5 and the i7 models on paper in terms of benchmarks. In day to day usage there is comparable difference. Games do not require much of a CPU, it needs Graphics Performance. But if you are looking for a worthy all rounder upgrade a spec bump in CPU will enable your laptop stay future proof for 5 years atleast.
Who is this laptop for?
This laptop is for everyone who is interested in gaming and cannot afford a full-fledged custom built PC. The specifications for starters is quite good and can take you through 4 years of college and even a couple of years beyond that. But this will give up on battery after aging resulting in less than 3 hours of battery. MSI is well known for its ultimate legacy in gaming computers and this resembles that very well.
