Stuff Verdict

It’s a corker of a gaming laptop in most respects, but the MSI Vector GP68 HX 13V’s relatively low colour saturation stands out at this level

Pros

Great gaming performance per pound

Good keyboard

Solid construction

Cons

Weak screen colour saturation

Some obvious higher-pitch fan noise

Introduction

The MSI Vector GP68 HX 13V is a wild gaming laptop in several respects.

It has a great keyboard, an incredibly powerful graphics card pushed to the extremes of its performance, and a loud-as-you-like RGB keyboard backlight. And yet it costs £1900 when you could easily pay £3000-plus for a laptop that’s really no more powerful.

This is a monster gaming laptop with one issue. The MSI Vector GP68 HX 13V screen can’t make games look their best in all areas, with colour saturation more fitting for a £500-600 laptop. You can tell where some money has been saved.

Still, if you want the MSI Vector GP68 HX 13V to act as a mixed gaming PC, sometimes playing as a desktop, sometimes a laptop, it’s kinda awesome.
