I purchased a desktop 2 years ago and didn't realize I'd be playing as many PC games as I currently am (have mostly been a console and mobile gamer in the past). I wanted an inexpensive, yet powerful rig that could handle the graphics load I needed it to. In addition, I didn't want anything too flashy, and something I could take into the office if required. The GF63 perfectly checks all my boxes. Having just purchased a desktop (and outfitted it with all the bells and whistles) just 2 years ago, I didn't want to spend a lot on a new machine. Once I settled on the GF63 I shopped around and Amazon had the best price for the configuration (i.e. most memory, SSD capacity size, etc.). I especially loved the stylish, yet tone downed aesthetic of the machine. Even with the keyboard LEDs off, the MSI dragon logo on the lid says there's something a little different that sets this laptop apart from your standard office machine.
Speaking of the keyboard, a lot of reviews I read mentioned that is was mushy or too soft to type on. I've found nothing of the sort. The keys offer good feedback and have nice travel distance (though it maybe a little short for some), and I found the typing experience to be pretty good. In addition, the screen is crisp and bright, and it handles colors and animations perfectly. The SSD handles boot up in under 10 seconds, and has plenty of room considering we save most things to one cloud or another these days.
My one and only complaint about this machine is the memory. At 8 GB the machine should be faster than it is. Simple everyday tasks like saving a WORD file can take way longer than expected. If you decide to buy this laptop make sure there's enough room in your budget to purchase a memory upgrade (I'm in the process of maxing mine up to 32 GB -- an extra $100 expense -- but even adding an additional 8 GB chip to increase overall memory to 16 GB should make a world of difference). I should also note that I keep my laptop plugged in so can't really speak to battery life.
I'll end on another good note: bloat-ware. There was practically none to uninstall (just the usual Norton programs, Microsoft Office trial version, and a redundant media program). There are a couple of MSI proprietary programs that are borderline, but I've chosen to just ignore them for now. All-in-all this is a great machine that I highly recommend if you're in the market for new gaming rig.

Excellent performance / Excelente rendimiento
Runs every game at 60 FPS, the software that its included with the laptop is very useful when you want change settings to make it more powerful or if you want to safe energy. Highly recommended for its performanceExcelente laptop, cumple con su proposito, los juegos corren a unos solidos 60 FPS, y el software incluido (cuya funcion es configirar el rendimiento de la computadora) es una gran herramienta para hacerla mas potente o mas ecológica, dependiendo de lo que se prefiera. El unico detalle es la duracion de la bateria, no es muy larga, pero se entiendd por la potencia requerida para la laptop.
