Display
Premium gaming laptops flaunt big screens with high refresh rate LCD panels but you’ll have to give up some of the premium features in the cheaper parts. MSI is offering a 15.6-inch Full HD+ display with a premium refresh rate of 60Hz to keep costs low.
Performance
This is a good midrange configuration for a gaming laptop and the laptop works well, despite the hardware limitations. The usual laptop stuff like working on papers or browsing the web is achieved effortlessly. The GF63 does not disappoint in any way when it comes to gaming
Battery
As far as battery life is concerned, under regular use situations such as web browsing, typing long papers, streaming music, and copying / pasting files from external drives, the laptop can manage to stay alive for up to 4 hours at maximum with the power saver mode turned on. This isn’t perfect for normal laptop standards but it’s nice for a gaming laptop, because of the strong internals inside.
