MSI Thin 15

MSI Thin 15 (i5-13420H + RTX 2050 4GB + 8 GB RAM + 512 GB SSD) The MSI Thin 15 is a budget-tier gaming and everyday-use laptop with clear strengths and limitations. The Intel Core i5-13420H paired with the RTX 2050 (4 GB) can handle light gaming, eSports titles, and basic GPU-accelerated tasks. Modern AAA games will run, but usually only at low settings for stable performance. The 15.6" FHD IPS-level 144 Hz display gives smooth motion for gaming and videos, but the color accuracy is low and brightness is modest. It’s okay for everyday use but not suitable for color-sensitive editing work. With only 8 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, multitasking and heavier workloads like video editing, large simulations, or big creative projects will feel limited unless you upgrade the RAM. Thermals are basic — it tends to heat up during long gaming sessions, and performance may throttle over time due to the thin chassis and lighter cooling system. Verdict: A good pick for budget buyers who want light gaming, casual usage, office work, watching content, and portability. Not recommended for heavy creative workloads, long gaming sessions, or users who want better long-term performance.
