Chassis, connectors, screen of the MSI GF63 10SC-003XFR Thin

With its black aluminum design with angular lines and touches of red, it has a resolutely gamer look and yet relatively sober and elegant.

It is cooled by Cooler Boost 3 technology via fans and heat pipes. The SHIFT function is also present to switch between 3 operating modes (Sport, Comfort and Eco).

To exploit the full capabilities of this gamer-oriented and creative laptop PC, it is necessary to install a complete operating system such as a Linux or Windows distribution.

For example, we will be able to take advantage of NVIDIA Optimus technology which assesses the graphics needs in real time and, as required, switches between the graphics part integrated into the processor and the dedicated graphics card. The first is used to the maximum by Optimus because it is energy efficient which promotes battery life, the second being activated to perform demanding graphics work.

This versatile Ultrabook has good connectivity including 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ax wireless modules ( newer and more efficient than Wi-Fi ac ) and Bluetooth 5.1 for remote connections and communications, video output HDMI (positioned at the back), practical for easy connection to a TV or monitor, for example, Ethernet and audio ports as well as 3 USBs all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, the USB 3.0 guaranteeing transfers. performing up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 when connecting USB 3.0 devices.

A backlighting system is of course fitted to the chiclet keyboard so that its keys can be distinguished better in the event of limited ambient light.
However, while its presence is standard in 15 inches, here the numeric keypad is conspicuous by its absence, which may put off those who regularly enter numbers.

The screen adopts a 144Hz refresh rate which will be of interest to players because it improves fluidity in games compared to the 60Hz standard. Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen also has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. It also lends itself very well to the display of High Definition content such as videos thanks to its precise Full HD definition and its 16: 9 format. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable in a bright environment (eg outdoors) than a shiny panel.

Performance, battery life of the MSI GF63 10SC-003XFR Thin

The MSI GF63 10SC-003XFR Thin is a versatile 15-inch portable portable PC performance oriented game and creation.

Driven by an Intel HM470 chipset, 8 GB of RAM and an Intel Hexa Core i7-10750H Comet Lake-H processor, the heart of this gaming laptop PC delivers solid overall performance capable of satisfying as many users as possible.

If the contribution of the Hexa Core is variable in the games compared to a Quad Core, it is undeniable under the treatments, accelerating them significantly under the demanding work taking advantage of the multicore, which is for example the case in editing. video, 3D rendering or photo editing, enough to appeal to creative people.

They will also appreciate that the processing is accelerated by the dedicated GeForce GTX 1650 NVIDIA Turing graphics card, here in Max-Q edition , and this under software using GPU computing power (eg Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere / Photoshop).

As a bonus you can run a number of games thanks to the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q, which will be of interest to gamers. But it should be kept in mind that adjustments are necessary under titles that are greedy in graphic resources to obtain good playability.

On the storage side, MSI has chosen an SSD, judicious in view of the finesse of this PC but also because an SSD offers several advantages compared to a hard drive: it is less energy intensive, more robust, silent and much more. swift.

In practice, thanks to the SSD, we take advantage of much faster starts / stops, processing and launches of games / software but also a faster arrival on the cards of online games for example.

Here we find a 512 GB SSD, a capacity in phase with what hard disks offer as standard. But if you need more space, you can add a second SSD or a hard drive via the free 2.5-inch slot.
We also obviously have the possibility of relying on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB-C / USB 3.0 device then represents an interesting solution to benefit from fast transfers.

As for battery life, expect about 7 hours of battery operation in light use with Optimus (about 2 times less without), which is all the more appreciable as this Ultrabook is easy to transport thanks to its finesse and weight. mastered.
But it is heard and heats up when it is heavily used (ex: games, treatments)
