(Open Box) MSI Vector 16 inch QHD+ 240Hz Gaming Laptop AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070Ti - 16GB RAM 1TB SSD Gray (2025)

alright let's start from the top. delivery was smooth and everything arrive in tact. the setup is easy as is any ordinary window setup. once I got to the desktop I immediately debloates windows 11 and updated th driver's through MSI an don't through AMD adrenaline as that will cause problems for the system. updated Nvidia graphics drivers and set graphics setting in MSI to discrete as the hybrid is horrible and make your CPU run way hotter than needed. immediately after that I put it through my benchmark of cyberpunk 2077 at QHD resolution maxed out all settings and turned off raytracing with dlss on quality and ran it. it seemed to maintain a steady 100 fps form my test but with raytracing on you get around 70 or so fps. I did play for an hour or two and the temps stayed comfortable around 70c now do know I did use a laptop cooling pad and I was running on balanced power settings through MSI settings and I was honestly impressed. keyboard is sturdy and so is the laptop. now this is a gaming laptop so battery life falls within range of what I expected 2-3 hours maybe longer if you switched to the igpu on the CPU. the fans do get loud if you don't have a cooling pad but even with a cooling pad they can still be noisy but it wasn't to bad. then again I did also have a headset so you may want to wear those while gaming. I upgraded the ram to 32gb cause while 16gb is fine for gaming I like to use it for more and I even added a 2 TB nvme SSD to the 1tb that is included. now opening it up is a pain if you don't know how to open laptops but if you are experienced the it's not to bad just time consuming. overall I'm happy with it so far and let's see how long it will last.

I'm putting the laptop through stress tests especially because on the first day I had it, it was running idle with cpu temperatures of 80 degrees celsius, which isn't normal. I hope it was just a fluke
