Hi I know you guys are so hi tech you can help me out. I have seen this laptop and I Think its the one, can you let me know if it will play my old games as well Like Syberia and all my Broken sword games . Here are the specs.
Intel (R) core i7- 10750H processor
Ram 16 GB/ storage 512 GBSSD
Graphics Nvidia Ge Force RT3060 GGB
208 FPS when playing Fortnite at 1080
Full HD Screen /144 Hz
Make is MSI GF65 thin 15.16" Gaming laptop

There is also another make with the same specs its called Lenovo .Legion 5
You said they could be pricey and these two are £999.00 each
I would love your thoughts on these

Holy smokes! Both of those are VERY high end gaming laptops. They can play the most demanding of dark side games!

To be honest, you don't need an RT 3060 graphics card to play casual and adventure games. MSI and Lenovo are both very good brands. I assume they both come with Windows 10? Can I assume all the games you refer to are disc games? Almost all of the new laptops do not have disk drives, so you would have to check that. A new exterior drive is pretty cheap.

Thanks draclvr . I knew you would give me some great advice. I download most of my games from Steam and have them all on my laptop. The early ones I downloaded from the cds I had bought years ago. I hope I will be able to play them.
I am going to ask when I buy it if it will have windows 11 I am not sure as its new isn't it .
Any info on Windows 11.

Then you are good to go with your Steam downloads. This laptop is really high end and FAR more than you need unless you start First Person Shooter gaming! But if this is within your budget, then you will be good to go for a long time. You'd have to ask about the OS and also ask whether the hardware will support Windows 11 if it has Windows 10.

Thanks Draclvr you know the saying " You cant take it with you "
Thanks again for all your advice
Kindest Regards

I do know that one. Another one is, "Use the good china!" And that's why I just built myself a super high end desktop!!

Graphics Nvidia Ge Force RT3060 GGB WOW! Be still my heart! Way to go maggsie!

I know, Winfrey! My heart went pitter patter too!

Hi I am back and in need of advice again . I visited my local store to buy a MSI gaming laptop and was told that because of the pandemic that it could be month or more before it would be delivered. So gutted I went on line at the same store and could get this laptop within a few days. I have the specs can you check them out for me. Its a lot cheaper £659 That's why I'm not sure

intel core i5- GTH 1650,512 GB SSD 15.6" screen

Intel Core i5-10500HProcessor,
Ram 8 GB/ Storage 512GBSSD
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTH 1650 4 GB
full HD screen/144 Hz

The reason it's cheaper is because the components are downgraded. Your original one had a core i7 processor; this one has a core i5. The first one had 16 GB of RAM; this one has 8. The first one had a high end Nvidia 3060 video card; this one has a lower end 1650 Nvidia video card.

It just all depends on if you want to wait a month for the higher end one or settle for the lower end one. The lower end one will be fine for casual and adventure gaming.

Thanks draclvr. I think I will wait. I just thought I would walk in store and come out with a new laptop "Silly Me"
Thanks again you are a great support

Maggsie

I'd vote for waiting too.

I agree with oldbroad. And you're welcome, maggsie!

Just to let you know my waiting is over.
I went online to the same store and they have just delivered my new laptop the one I wanted . Yay!!! result a MSI
Intel core i7 Whoohoo Just waiting for my son to come and set it all up for me. I will let you know how it runs .

Hi Got it all sorted just got to put in my apps .
I tried to insert my wireless mouse in the USB port and I cant, do I need a different one for a gaming laptop I am frightened to force it in .
Maggsie

I assume you mean the little USB adapter for your wireless mouse? Are you sure you have the right port? If you can give me the model name of your laptop, I can see what kinds of different ports it has. I believe this one has USB A, USB C and regular USB ports. Looking at some photos, it looks like it might be on the left? Get out your manual and see what it says about the different USB ports.

The only Model no, I can get is this SKU Katana GF76. I just took my wireless mouse from my old laptop and just thought it would slide in but it doesn't. there is a USB port on the right and two on two left Also the usual half curved one as well.
Surely USB ports are all the same ?
Thanks Draclvr
Maggsie

On the left is USB 3.2 Gen 1 port
Audio port connectors
USB 3.2 Gen 1 Port (type -C)

On the right is
USB 3.2 Gen 1 Port
USB 2.0 Port
Hope this helps
Maggsie

And again, we ARE talking about the little USB adapter, right? The USB 2.0 is the port you want. And no, some of the new USB ports are not the same! The old USB 2.0 ports have an "up" and and "down" way to insert the adapter, so make sure you have that right.

Thanks Draclvr You are so good. I have been talking to the store online and they were going to replace the whole laptop . I said "What" there is nothing wrong with it . a tech guy will be talking to me tomorrow.
I will let you know how it turns out, up to now the laptop looks super duper with red light keys LOL
Cant wait to start my games
Thanks
Maggsie

GREAT customer service! Wow, what a bonus! Hope you will be up and running in no time. I saw it had lit keys when I looked it up! COOL!

How exciting, maggsie!

Enjoy your new machine to the max, maggsie !!

Hi Just to let you all know I am in heaven with the door shut. Laptop all sorted even with my new gaming mouse. It is super .
Thanks for all your help I couldn't have got through it all without you.
The very kindest of regards
A very happy Maggsie
