Pros and Cons

MSI Crosshair 15

Strengths

Gaming performance was great, I mean yeah sure, not quite as good as some other 3070 laptops with a MUX switch or higher GPU power limits, but regardless you'll be running modern games at 1440p decent settings no problem on this hardware.
The 1440p screen was quite good in terms of color gamut and brightness was acceptable. Response time was alright, but the overdrive mode didn't seem to do anything.
Shipping it with decent RAM was a plus
You can still use the up arrow key to max out the fans and keyboard lighting adjustment works too.

Weaknesses

The laptop was surprisingly poor considering the 90Wh size of the battery
The fans could use some tuning. The laptop is more audible compared to a lot of others, and it's either too loud or too quiet.
The screen wobble and weird touchpad problem were notable issues
The ports weren't amazing, USB 2.0 in 2022 feels a bit rough

MSI Cyborg 14

Strengths

The laptop offers impressive performance without sacrificing portability making it comparable to standard work laptops in weight.
The display is a 14in 144hz IPS display with a display ratio of 16x 10 and a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, offering good visual experience across different types of content and environments.
The speakers deliver clear and loud sound providing a satisfying audio experience.
The laptop features an Intel Core i7-13628 processor boasting 10 cores six performance cores and four efficiency cores with a max turbo frequency of 4.9 GHz.
The battery life is decent for a gaming laptop of this size, lasting around 4 hours and 47 minutes in YouTube playback test at 50% brightness.

Weaknesses

The keyboard lacks an numpad and the arrow keys are cramped on the edge, often leading to accidental key presses.
The hinge opens to a limited angle making it difficult to use when placed on your lap.
The touchpad sometimes responds oddly when your palm rests firmly on the palm rest area.
The placement of the IO ports is unconventional, positioning frequently used ports on the right side near where people typically place their mouse.
The webcam is only a 720p camera which may not be sufficient for those who need high-quality video conferencing.

MSI Crosshair 15
