Thin A15 gaming laptop 15.6" 144Hz

The MSI Thin A15 is a 15.6 inch gaming laptop built around an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS six-core processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU with 4GB GDDR6 memory. It ships with 16GB of system memory and a 512GB PCIe SSD. The IPS-level display runs at 1920x1080 resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate and 45% NTSC colour coverage. Windows 11 Home comes pre-installed.

Suits 1080p gaming on the move not 4K

This machine fits buyers who want portable 1080p gaming at high refresh rates and everyday multitasking with 16GB of RAM. The six-core CPU and RTX 3050 4GB combination handles modern titles at medium to high settings on the built-in screen. Buyers who need more storage out of the box, a higher colour gamut for professional colour work, or a fingerprint reader for biometric login should look at something else. The single 512GB drive and 45% NTSC panel limit those workflows.

512GB SSD and 16GB RAM headroom for current titles

The 512GB PCIe SSD holds the operating system and a handful of large games before space runs out. Sixteen gigabytes of memory keeps modern titles and background apps comfortable, though heavy modding or video editing will hit the ceiling. The RTX 3050 4GB frame buffer copes with 1080p textures at high settings, but 1440p or 4K gaming on an external monitor via the HDMI 2.1 port will exhaust VRAM quickly.
