The lack of an actual SSD leaves much to be desired. What we particularly like is the compact footprint of the device itself as well as the minimalist chassis design.

In the nutshell, the MSI GF63 8RC offers a fair performance and experience for the price of RM4399. So, always bring the charging adapter if you plan to game.

Gaming on the battery would at most give you around 90 minutes of run time, on top of throttled game performance at 30fps. I mean, who actually use a computer with lowest display brightness in the daytime?

While it may be falling short under 7+ hour of acclaimed battery life, but that’s alright, we all know how manufacturers would disable every single feature to claim the “theoretical” longest battery life. We are delighted to report a single full charge could last you about 5 hours of web browsing and productivity work. Software MSI Dragon Centerīefore we get into the actual performance of the laptop, let’s talk about the MSI software that comes with the laptop itself. All in all, it is an OK display for general & casual gaming. Fine details, however, is affected by the matte display surface to reduce glare and reflection. Objectively, the colour accuracy is not fancy and dandy, covering ~50% sRGB colour space. In terms of the display quality, subjectively, the viewing angle is wide and the colours are looking alright in person. Or perhaps it could be due to the use of a budget IPS panel.ĭisplay GtG response time specification is nowhere to be found, which indicates that the GF63 might have a not so impressive (~30ms) response time. That makes us wonder, why bother with “IPS-level” when the display itself is already an IPS panel. The model number is LGD0563, made by LG.Philips Displays. We dive deeper into the details and found the panel itself is indeed IPS. The specification sheet has stated the panel to be “IPS-level”. As for the display, it has a 1080 full HD resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate.
