FAQ

Purchase

Q: Where is the best place to buy a laptop?
A: In the country where you live. There will be no problems with the guarantee, and the prices, taking into account the new customs duty introduced on 01.2019, differ slightly.

Q: What is the difference between GP and GL series?
A: MSI is positioning the GP series as more prestigious: the appearance is slightly different, the keyboard backlight is RGB, and not monochrome, the Killer LAN controller is installed.
Video: MSI gaming notebooks product segmentation.

Exploitation

Q: Can I connect an external video card to my laptop?
A: It is impossible. Thunderbolt 3.0 is not supported. USB Type-C in these models - the usual USB3.0.
Q: What version of DisplayPort is used in a laptop?
A: 1.2

Upgrade and Overclocking

Q: Does the laptop support XMP profiles?
A: Supports. XMP-profiles with increased supply voltage also work correctly. At the moment, it was possible to successfully launch the memory with JEDEC2666 at the native frequency (not at 2400) "out of the box". For higher frequencies, verification is required.
Q: What is the maximum amount of RAM you can set?
A: 32GB (two dies for 16GB each). UPD. In 2019 32GB Samsung dies come out, compatibility not tested.
Q: How to open an advanced list of settings in regular BIOS?
A: It is necessary to press the right CTRL and the right SHIFT in its main window and, holding them, hold down the left ALT and F2.
Q: After changing the BIOS settings, the laptop does not start / cyclically restarted, what should I do?
A: Reset to factory settings. To do this, with the power supply connected, press and hold the power button for120-180 seconds.
Q: Is it possible to install an RGB backlit keyboard on the GL series?
A: The backlight will not work anyway - you will need to add an RGB controller and its binding to the motherboard.

I ordered myself, I hope it will arrive in a couple of weeks. Sent a laptop after 4 days, due to the lack of warehouses.

Who knows how to disable integrated graphics - write. Manufacturers are silent.

Hello! Who can tell me how to save windows 10 license to install Russian, or add Russian instead of Chinese? Thank you all so much !!!

[legotian]

Got this machine. I photographed the stuffing. Port for SSD format M.2 is missing, if anyone is interested.

Photo by the way in the cap is incorrect

[Dragonzo]

legotianGreetings! Congratulations on your purchase! I wish that the laptop always served properly, and pleased you!
Please tell me which transport company he came to you? And how much time was the laptop? In the second photo, next to the memory module, where the black screw, in my opinion there is a m2 connector

Dragonzo,
DPD was on, but first by a Chinese company to Astana. It was a month, almost exactly. Brought home.

For performance and noise - ideal, just a bomb for the money. Immediately ordered a second bar for operatives for him. Regarding the M2 port is very sorry, but it seems it is not. There you can connect the screw or CATA3, or PCI-E, but where - it is not clear.

Another problem - there seems to be a subwoofer on the bottom, but for some reason it does not work, which makes the sound flat

UPD: I'm lying, there is no subwoofer (Only 4 speakers. But in general, the bottom grille directly implies that it is there. Strange

Legotian @ 10/02/17, 11:08

Regarding the M2 port is very sorry, but it seems it is not.

How not? On the second photo under the operative, then what? This is the M2, even a cog in place))

legotianAnd how is the display? Something on the video reviews I did not see there IPS ((

[legotian]

Meliorik,
Exactly, I was looking for mSATA there, M2 is there. I bought an adapter from m2 to mSATA to insert my screw. The display is strange. Definitely better than my former TN, but worse than the same Xiaomi IPS.

Posted 10/04/2017 12:13 PM:

Dragonzo,
reinstalled. Less crap. 1050Ti - THING, I'll tell you!

[Meliorik]

Legotian @ 04.10.17, 12:13

but worse than the same Xiaomi IPS.

Wu xiaomi, I would say an awesome display! Yes, and generally assembled as a monolith ... I'm talking about Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 ': D
But one SSD will not be full ((Yes, and the graph is dohlik.

Everything is fine with MI 13, and for graphics I took this MSI)

[legotian]

Well, there are still owners? Today I am going to take the second level of RAM.

[igoryk06]

Legotian @ 10/06/17, 12:02

I am the owner - we arrange the laptop in everything except the Chinese bios and the fact that there is no possibility to disable the integrated graphics.

igoryk06How do you like the screen?

[igoryk06]

Legotian @ 10/06/17, 16:02

* igoryk06, How do you like the screen?

The screen is not five, but as if there are no complaints, if you do not touch the frame with your hands. Pure playing time in a month I have 50 hours

[legotian]

Well, I put another dash on 8 gigs (4250 rubles in DNS), through the adapter m.2-mSATA I connected my SSD - voila! Now everything flies, as it should. When the system was working on the HDD, it was the utmost brakes, so I advise everyone.

If anyone puts m.2 (and especially through the adapter), then see that the plastic pin on the cover (piccha 2, the stub from the pin is indicated by the arrow) does not rest on the disk (I rested, broke off). There is some kind of button (the reset seems to be), so he apparently defended it.

About the Russification of Windows. How I did not fight with LangagePacks - nifiga does not help. Although the Russian LanguagePack is installed, but when the Chinese LangagePack is demolished, the system dies and tries to relocate again. So to save those chips that were originally on the disk - I did not succeed. But I managed to change the Windows to Windows 10 Single Language ru_RU, remaining on the same key as the UEFI firmware.

Steps like this:
1) (optional) Initially, when installing Chinese Windows, select Russia, Russian, and (I chose) Irkutsk. All this in simplified Chinese - use GoogleTranslate.

2) We do everything according tosteps(ei.cnf file is NECESSARY). Choose Windows 10 Single Language en_RU

3) After installing the Russian Windows and re-checking the user go to the activation - and we see the problem. As recommended, we run the activation troubleshooting, which finds the key in UEFI, and says that it is suitable.
Everything.
