The MSI Cyborg 15 is a lovely looking machine. When I pulled it out of the box I had hoped its impressive specs list would see it rise to the top of the charts, too. But after some time using the Cyborg it's gone down in my estimations. Sharply down. This is a gaming laptop focused on low temperatures and quiet operation, but it lags behind massively in most other metrics to try and achieve that.
The Cyborg 15 is one of two RTX 4060 laptops I've had in for testing this past week, the other being Gigabyte's G5 (2023). They're both priced pretty competitively around the $1,100 mark, though in the UK (the specific market in which these two exact models are intended to be sold) the MSI is the cheaper of the two at £1,099. The Gigabyte is £1,200. The US and UK models do differ slightly, with the US getting the bad deal here with only 8GB of RAM. The two I've tested both come provisioned with 16GB.
