MSI Thin A15 gaming laptop Ryzen 5 7535HS RTX 2050 32GB 2TB 15.6 FHD 144Hz

Thin A15 gaming laptop for entry-level 1080p play

This MSI Thin A15 is a 15.6 inch Windows 11 Pro laptop aimed at buyers who want a portable machine for everyday work and casual gaming at 1080p. It ships with 32 GB of DDR5 memory and a 2 TB PCIe SSD already installed. The six-core Ryzen 5 7535HS processor runs at a 3.3 GHz base clock with a 4.5 GHz boost. A 144 Hz FHD panel and a GeForce RTX 2050 with 4 GB of video memory handle the visual side.

4 GB GeForce RTX 2050 limits modern titles to low

The single specification that decides suitability is the GeForce RTX 2050 laptop GPU equipped with 4 GB of dedicated video memory. It will run older esports games and less demanding modern titles at the panel's 1920 x 1080 resolution, but newer AAA releases will require low quality presets to stay playable. Buyers who need high refresh rates in current games at medium or higher settings should look elsewhere.

Straightforward setup

The laptop arrives with the factory seal opened for the RAM and SSD upgrade, so the 32 GB of DDR5 and 2 TB drive are already in place. Memory is soldered to the board and cannot be expanded later, while storage uses a single M.2 slot — adding a second drive is not possible. The 14.13 x 10 x 0.85 inch chassis weighs 4.1 pounds and includes Wi-Fi 6E, a backlit keyboard, HDMI 2.1 and three USB-A 3.2 ports plus one Type-C 3.2 port for peripherals.
