MSI GF65 Thin / GF63 Thin
Gaming LaptopProduct Gallery
Product Overview
MSI GF65 Thin is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop that features up to 10th-gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics in a brushed aluminum casing.
Despite having "Thin" in its name, the GF65 is slightly bulkier than the premium ultra-portable GS66 Stealth. Compared to the high-powered GE66 Raider, it also loses the 300Hz display, i9 processor, and more powerful RTX graphics options.
Still, the GF65 Thin offers a feature set similar to that of the GP65 / GL65 Leopard. It uses a similar Cooler Boost 5 cooling solution, too.
Sharing the lower-end of the configurable options of the GF65 is the GF63 Thin, which trades one of the two USB-C ports for a USB-A.
MSI also markets a 17.3-inch version in the 10th-gen Intel Thin-series, the GF75 Thin.

Reviewer score 59% (normalized by Neofiliac)MSI's GF65 Thin has a 6GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics chip and a 15.6-inch 1080p display. To keep the price low, MSI used a single, 8GB stick of memory, so the out-of-the-box performance isn't as good as it could be. The keyboard is big and comfortable for typing and gaming.
Pros
- Decent graphics performance for a gaming laptop
- Decent battery life
Cons
- Dim display
- Dim display
