msi Pulse GL66 15.6" FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop: Intel Core i7-12700H RTX 3070 16GB 512GB NVMe SSD, Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 1, RGB Gaming Keyboard, Cooler Boost 5, Win11 Home: Black 12UGKV-464

I have owned it for several days. Easily added on TD SSD drive. Cools okay. Great build much better than the old steel series. Has Nice nice keyboard too. The only issue I had was trying to run Mech warrior 5. I ran it stock out of the box at full graphics and the game would shake and crash and give me a running out of vid memory. I know that can't be an issue as I run the game on high with an MSI GV62 BRD with a 1051TI card at high with no issues. I did dump some bloatware such as Disney and the free gaming XBOX and lowered graphics to high and the game ran okay. I will be experimenting further. Update 12/6/22 I can now play it on Ultra with no issues. Dumping the bloatware and updating graphics drivers. seems to have solved the problem. Laptop runs at 70c when playing Mech warrior 5 at max graphics settings. For $1099 bucks on sale it was an excellent buy.

I bought this to replace my antique HP laptop because I do video editing and I’m starting to branch out and learn 3D modeling with Blendr and Daz3D. . It tackles renders fairly quick and doesn’t lag when editing video with Davinci Resolve. Battery life can be short depending on how hard you are pushing it but I keep it plugged in mostly. I would definitely recommend getting a cooling stand with fans to put under it because the bottom will get hot under a constant workload. I love mine so far! 11/4/23 EDIT. Started playing FiveM GTA and Ark Ascended on the laptop and can run both on very high settings with no sweat. Laptop still going strong. I should’ve opted for the larger Hard Drive but will add an external SSD soon. 500GB runs out of space fast. Loving this little powerhouse of a laptop!

As the headline leads on, I bought the 12th Gen i7 version RTX 3070 of the Pulse GL66. It DOES NOT have a 2.5 inch space or slot. It does however has a second NVME slot for storage next to the battery plug when you open it up; please buy a NVME if you plan to expand storage. It may not read the first time. Look for guides online for command prompt and diskpart for the laptop to read the extra NVME. (: Otherwise, it's a great laptop I managed to get a a bargain. Step up from my i7 8th gen GTX 1060 laptop I've had for a few years.

I got the 12UGKV-464 version, which is the i7-12700H with the RTX 3070. Pros: Very fast, runs new games at Ultra with no problem Styling, i like it but that's subjective Compact for a laptop with this performance Bang for buck, if you grab it on sale, it's worth the amount of performance you can get for a laptop at this price point compared to its competitors Cons: Screen color is awful (I've spent hours in the app trying to correct it but it is just bad) Runs HOT, even with the fan on max, I've seen the CPU jump above 90c many times. Storage, it comes with a 512gb drive, which with windows leaves you with not much room. This version only has one extra m2 slot and no 2.5" slot. Also, adding another drive requires you to open to laptop, breaking the seal and voiding your warranty. Battery life, I brought this to a meeting at work once instead of my smaller chromebook. Even on 'super battery mode', only running MS Word, the battery didn't survive the 1.5 hour meeting. It's technically a laptop but don't expect to be able to use it not plugged in for any amount of time. Overall, I'd give it a 4/5. The performance of this thing is great, I've tried many new games with it and it's performed very well. The cooling issues are very concerning, as this can seriously shorten the lifespan of the CPU (the GPU doesn't seem to have the same issues). The heat, lack of expandable storage, nonexistant battery life, and the screen coloration are holding this back from being a 5/5 for me. If you are going to use this primarily at home, somewhere it can be kept well ventilated, connected to an external monitor and occasionally bring it out, I'd suggest it.

I bought this laptop for just 1099$ on sale and I'm absolutely satisfied. After setting up Gaming mode in MSI Center and updating Nvidia drivers all latest games that I play run smoothly, without freezes. Running heavy games laptop soon becomes hot on center top, but cooling system works well and handles it. But it's very noisy when running on full speed. Screen is good, I didn't have other laptops in same price category to compare, but this one is okay to me. Battery is a weak side of this laptop. Don't expect to spend some hours in cafe doing your work on it, battery lasts for very very short time. Great that laptop has additional slot for SSD memory stick and two slots for RAM, so you can extend it.

Bought this for my son when he went to college. This is a good computer. Like all laptops, it comes with all the extra apps and crap that we all hate. You'll need to trim those up to get the full performance out of it. For a 3070 based laptop, it also has pretty short battery life and it runs pretty hot. Your fan will be running a lot. With that said, the build quality is good and it games well in addition to the other things you might want it to do.

I’ve had this PC for a while now I’ve done pretty everything you’d expect for a gaming laptop top the design is decent laptop quality it fine over the last year or some some have the keys paint has worn but that’s to be expected with everyday use. Set was easy capable of any game currently out there, would recommend a ram upgrade tho . Over all 10/10

It keeps rebooting and showing blue screen of dead, tried booting from my external SSD turns on and blue screen after 30-120 minutes, worst purchase of my life from Amazon And it says used like new, all my precious refurbished buyings were better Can not return as I ordered from another country, and receiveing and sending back in one month is impossible + ~180$

Es una Laptop relativamente delgada y ligera, me refiero a relativamente porque es una Laptop para jugar, es muy fácil de hacer los upgrades de capacidad en disco y memoria RAM. Como toda laptop gamer hace un ruido considerable por el doble ventilador, además se agradece que se puede controlar la velocidad del mismo con accesos rápidos del teclado, si algo se le puede reprochar a esta máquina es que el RGB es de los más limitados que he visto, 4-5 efectos con pocos colores cuando en el mercado existen opciones con millones de colores y personalización a nivel de tecla, si eso no te importa (como a mi) y quieres una laptop disctreta pero poderosa, esta es tu opción, tiene una construcción robusta y de buena calidad, pudiera tener el trackpad un poco más grande pero la verdad no lo vas a usar mucho porque si es para juegos optarias por un mouse, así como en toda laptop gamer, el teclado es incómodo para trabajar ya que tiene una sensación extraña, creo que si optas por este modelo ya tienes experiencia en el uso de teclados con switches mecánicos y preferirias un teclado mecánico para jugar. Por otro lado tiene poca duración de la bateria (2-3 horas) pero si la configuras adecuadamente y cuidas los procesos puede extenderse hasta 4-5 horas, si vas a jugar, definitivamente debe ser con el cargador conectado, tiene un modo que cambia el proceso gráfico de la RTX a la tarjeta gráfica de Intel dependiendo lo que estés haciendo y así evitar el calentamiento y obviemnet en gasto de batería(blanco: intel, naranja: RTX). En fin, es una exclente opción para trabajar y jugar, es una laptop sobria y elegante al mismo tiempo, estoy muy satifecho con la compra

A perfect monster for gaming and professional operations. But unfortunately battery isnt good

Me encanta su diseño elegante y atrevido sin ser tan llamativo pero sin verse aburrido o muy plano de estilo, la laptop es potente y muy veloz, puede con todas las tareas que necesites, incluso jugando en resolución 2K (2560x1440p) puede llevar tus juegos en calidad alta a unos estables y fluidos 60fps y para competitivos shooters o de acción rapida a 1080p puedes llegar a los 144fps sin problema, lo único malo viene en su ampliación de almacenamiento donde solo te da la opción de agregar un SSD M.2 extra y no un SSD Sata, cosa que en modelos mas viejos si venía la conexión pero en éste ya no lo cual es una lastima pues tengo mi SSD sata que ya no le podré instalar a ésta laptop, de ahí en fuera en cuanto a rendimiento, estética y todo lo demás es un 5 Estrellas, y si la consigues en oferta por menos de 30Mil pesos es la mejor laptop que puedas comprar

Good
