The black, brushed aluminium lid has MSI’s dragon logo, but the design is otherwise quite subdued. One thing I like about the MSI GF63 Thin is that it’s quite discreet about its gaming prowess.

Thinner, lighter and quieter than most budget gaming laptops.Given early reports of that GPU’s performance, you might want to give that one a miss. In those regions you have a choice between a faster but more expensive Core i7/3050 Ti variant, and a soon-to-appear new version with Intel’s ARC A370 GPU. Note that our tested version of the GF63 Thin is unavailable in the US or EU right now. It’s also more versatile: where most gaming laptops keep you chained to your desk, the GF63 Thin can actually be carried around without giving yourself a hernia. It’s significantly slimmer and quieter than your average gaming laptop, not to mention cheaper than most. However, if you’re a more casual gamer, then the MSI GF63 Thin is a solid proposition. In terms of console performance, we’re closer to Xbox Series S than Xbox Series X. The keyboard is backlit, but only in the one colour: red.
