MSI Cyborg 15 (2023)
4.0/5
July 3, 2023Pros
- $999 price in our Core i7/RTX 4050 test unit
- Able to play at the highest 1080p settings
- Peppy processor for the money
- Decent build for a budget gaming rig
Cons
- RTX 4050 GPU didn't wow versus RTX 3060s
- Display is dim and disappointing
- Sharp chassis edge can dig into wrists during typing
Bottom Line
MSI's Cyborg 15 is far from a perfect gaming laptop, and not plush, but its low price and playable performance make it a very workable option for PC gamers on tight budgets.

Video Summary
Overall it is a really nice gaming laptop. For me personally the extra weight and poor battery life just take away from the things that make it a portable gaming laptop and that's something that I personally care about. If you don't mind that as much it could totally be A tier but for now we'll leave it in B tier
