The temperature drops by roughly 10° on both CPU and GPU if you place it on a cooling pad. I tested it with hogwarts legacy on high settings, GPU ran at 68° without a cooling pad. With a cooling pad, my average temperature is 56° on high settings. Other games gave me roughly the same temperature drop with a cooling pad. It also depends on the settings in MSI center as the fans do run high if not set right. The MSI AI Engine learns quite fast and regulates fan speeds after playing a few games, so that it does not have to run at high speeds all the time while gaming. It may be a cheaper laptop, but it's not a bad investment. All and all I personally find it a great laptop for both gaming and work.
Great info! I'm thinking about this as a potential laptop software development, and of course for gaming. It seems like a good priced, high power gaming laptop.

So you're reviewing one with an intel i7 CPU. would you say the 15's with the Ryzen 5 are better? If you've had the chance to get your hands on one/just know from experience? I just bought one with a Ryzen 5, and RTX 4060. :) hence why I'm asking
Generally Intel is still best on mobile. The Ryzens have lower TDP on multi threading but also worse performance. For gaming only they are quite similar at that level

the msi center app feels unprofessional. the lack of a combo (headphone) jack makes it feel old. the ugly unchangeable blue is well, ugly. but its okay, in the end these are small issues and the performance is good so ill make do with this. hopefully. (im sorta scared i made a bad decision!)
Acer Nitro V? Can't really comment as we have never reviewed those units so can only suggest stuff we've used xD sorry I can't be more helpful but good luck!
Yea I think it comes down to build quality and price. I got the MSI for a budget price. The MSI also has a 120hz display. I'm unsure about the Acer Nitro V. I think also a good quality RAM is another factor. The thin 15 MSI I got has 2x4GB @3200mhz. Can't remember the brand of RAM. MSI has its own OEM BIOS with hidden advanced features. It's got a plethora of OC options though I haven't figured it out yet.
Depends on what you need tbh? It's got a really good processor but you might want to get something a bit bigger if you need more battery life on the go

The acer would be better for school/work or non-demanding video playback. The MSI thin 15 would be better for decent gaming and maybe some light rendering.
Bro i bought a msi laptop last day. I'm a noob because it's my first laptop. My question is what percentage should i start to charge my laptop? And should I fully charge it at 100%?
Hi, this particular laptop will stop charging once it reaches 100% and then it very lightly charge until you use it and trickles down to 80%85% battery it will begin to charge again to 100%. You can tell it's charging when the little White colored LED on the left side lights up. Also if you google it up, enter the bios settings. There should be an option to enable Fast Charge vs. Normal charge
If you are gonna use it for gaming, i recommend removing the charging limiter, so that way you don't put that much strain when doing a high intensity task.
