Pros and Cons

MSI GF63 Thin

Strengths

The typing experience is pretty good
It plays everything even brand new games at low details including Diablo I and Starfield
Casual gamers should be happy with this notebook as it handles competitive play well
Desktop replacement users may find it suitable for their needs due to the presence of two DIMM slots for memory upgrades
The battery life is good, despite being a con, it still weighs less than the average 15.6-inch notebook
It's cheap which makes it great for students

Weaknesses

The battery life is terrible like I previously mentioned
There's quite a bit of ghosting in the display
Only one dedicated external display is supported, relying on USBC for another monitor can be a hassle
Desktop replacement users may find it lacking due to the limited number of ports
The display has unsightly misalignment of stickers which might not sit well with some users
It gets mildly warm while gaming and the single fan is not very effective
