If there is a manufacturer that does not waste time to include the latest hardware components in its computers, it is MSi, especially when it comes to enhancing the gaming experience at the graphic level . For example, its latest MSI Crosshair 15 C12VF-418XES laptop will let you enjoy Nvidia’s new RTX 40 series.
MSi Crosshair 15 C12VF-418XES is a high-end dedicated gaming laptop that spares no hardware power thanks to a 12th generation Intel Core i7 processor, up to 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU as the main protagonist.
Do you want a model prepared for AAA gaming for several years?
As is logical in this type of powerful machine, it is not the most compact or lightweight when it comes to consolidating the concept of portability. However, its official dimensions of 35.9 cm x 25.9 cm x 2.69 cm and its total weight of 2.3 kilograms are within the average for a computer with a 15.6-inch panel.
With marketing in black, some aesthetic details are appreciated on its external face that make it a modern laptop, as well as reduced bezels around its screen and an RGB backlighting system for its keyboard (full-size with an independent number island) that can freely customize the choice of colors for each of your keys.
Precisely for the IPS panel, it should be noted that its native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels will allow you to maximize the graphic settings in the latest games, in addition to being able to bring the frame rate per second above average thanks to its support for a 240 Hz maximum refresh rate.
