Product Overview

MSI Alpha 15 A4DEK is the world's first gaming laptop to feature 7nm AMD Ryzen 7 4800H CPU and AMD Radeon RX 5600M GPU together.
The Alpha 15 comes with an optional 144Hz FreeSync Premium display that delivers bright and surprising color accuracy along with a smooth and tear-free gaming experience. Thanks to MSI's Cooler Boost 5 thermal solution with a total of 7 heat pipes, the Alpha 15 is able to package its powerful components in a chassis smaller than its competition while delivering enduring performance.
MSI also markets a 17.3-inch variant in the Alpha series powered by Ryzen 4000-series CPUs, the Alpha 17. There is also a slightly more portable model, also powered by AMD CPU and GPU combo, the Bravo 15.

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
MSI's refreshed Alpha 15 is a much stronger performer with its eight-core CPU and graphics card. It offers high-to-toe features not often seen at its price. It's a little chunky and could use quieter fans, but its price makes those downsides easier to digest.
Pros
  • Sleek, attractive design
  • Excellent battery life
  • Good keyboard backlighting
Cons
  • Lackluster graphics performance
  • No G-Sync support
