<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Reasons Why MSI Laptops Are So Expensive<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe parts used for MSI laptops are not standard, the branding itself makes MSI laptops pricey, upgradeability, manufacturing process, and cooling systems used are reasons why MSI laptops are so expensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMSI laptops, both gaming and business laptops, are expensive and for good reason, MSI guarantees its users the best quality of gaming laptops in the market by using only the highest quality of materials. The build quality of MSI laptops is great, they\u2019re sturdy, lightweight, and don\u2019t feel cheap when held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That being said, there are multiple reasons why MSI laptops are expensive and we\u2019ll be explaining each one below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Components<\/h3>\n\n\n\nComponents can be divided into two categories: hardware components and hardware material, the former refer to the interior components of the laptop such as GPU, CPU, RAM, SSD, and cooling system. The latter refers to what type of material is used for the chassis of the laptop and other parts of the laptop such as the top panel and base panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First off let\u2019s talk about the interior components of MSI laptops, the thing is this brand only uses high-end components to give users consistent performance with their laptops, both for gaming and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of MSI\u2019s latest and top-selling laptops as of the moment are the MSI GS76 Stealth<\/a> for gaming and Summit E16 Flip<\/a> for business, both of which boast the latest components available in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe MSI GS76 Stealth is equipped with the latest 11th Gen. Intel Core i9 processor with 8-core and up to 4.9GHz dual-core turbo frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This laptop model uses a next-gen PCI-E GEN4 NVMe M.2 SSD which has a reading that can go beyond 5GB\/s. For the GPU, the GS76 Stealth uses a GeForce RTX 3080 (from the 30 Series) which grants users superior performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the cooling system, this laptop uses the Cooler Boost Trinity+ and this is composed of three fans, six pipes, 0.1mm blades, and up to 15% airflow. These are some of the GS76\u2019s features that make it a pricey laptop, so you can only imagine how much these cost in the market for their price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As aforementioned, this logic applies to MSI\u2019s business laptops as well. Let\u2019s talk about the Summit E16 Flip for a bit and discuss why it\u2019s such a pricey laptop. The first thing you\u2019ll notice with the Summit E16 Flip is its all-aluminum finish which makes it look sleek and feel premium, coming at around 2kg this business laptop is nothing short of exquisite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This laptop model features an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and GeForce RTX 30260 Ti and 3050 variants, both of which are capable of delivering consistent heavyweight performance. The cooling system that this laptop uses is called the Dynamic Cooler Boost, a silent cooling system that effectively dissipates heat for both the GPU and CPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we tally all these interior components and buy them separately in the market, we\u2019ll be met with a whopping price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To give you an idea of how much some of these components\u2019 cost is we\u2019ll be providing an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- An 11th Gen Intel Core i9 processor would cost around $400-$500<\/li>
- An 11th Gen Intel Core i7 would have an average price point of $300-$400<\/li>
- The GeForce 30 Series is also a pricey line of GPUs, for instance, the RTX 3080 would be priced at $700 while the RTX 3050 Ti and 3050 would cost around $350 respectively.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To sum it up, in terms of components, the expensive price tag of MSI laptops, both gaming and business models, are justifiable. You get what you pay for when it comes to performance and it just delivers perfectly each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Branding<\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow onto the steamy part of this article: branding. While it may be difficult to acknowledge branding as part of this whole expensive laptop experience, it\u2019s practically inevitable. Branding is something that people are aware of and at the same time, this is what makes people prefer one product from the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, a lot of people prefer Apple<\/a> products compared to Android products and this applies to both smartphones and laptops (and we heavily emphasize the former). The reason behind why people prefer one brand from the other is subjective and one of the most common ones would be that one brand is far more reliable than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLaptop brands that have been existing for quite some time are the likes of Apple, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. For the majority of users, they would prefer a brand that has proven its reliability through its products and this grants them a \u201cpass\u201d to price their laptops accordingly, even if it\u2019s expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another reason why branding is a big deal in regards to laptops being expensive is well-known brands always use high-quality materials, invest a lot of time in research and design, have quality control, and have the best warranties and customer support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To put it simply, when buying a laptop you also buy the brand name along with it. Also, it would make sense that premium laptops are entitled to their expensive price tags, the two simply coincide with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Upgradeability<\/h3>\n\n\n\nNot all laptops are upgradeable, the instance that they are, they usually come at an expensive price. It would only make sense that laptops would cost more if they\u2019re upgradeable since this gives users the option and opportunity to upgrade their laptops without buying a whole new unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, when users upgrade their internal components such as the SSD, HDD, and RAM, they\u2019ll be splurging a lot on those as well. This makes upgradeable laptops all the more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for MSI, they have upgradeable laptops, some of which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- MSI GE66 Raider<\/a><\/li>
- GF65 Thin<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Manufacturing Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to manufacturing, MSI puts in a lot of work to ensure that its laptops are in excellent shape before shipping them out to retail stores and releasing them to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a video that we watched wherein MSI employees were interviewed in regards to the manufacturing process of MSI laptops, they\u2019re able to manufacture around 500 to 800 laptops a day, depending on the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the laptops are made, they undergo a series of tests and the first one would be testing the laptop\u2019s basic functions such as turning it off and on, checking the BIOS, and the volume. The succeeding tests for the laptop would mostly be physical testing. For example, every component of the MSI laptop is being checked in detail and tested for stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, they also do various tests such as testing the USB ports if they\u2019re working properly and checking for the audio signal and whether or not it\u2019s being delivered to the audio jacks of the laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, MSI\u2019s manufacturing process won\u2019t be complete without the QA Inspection, this refers to the quality assurance that they do to check if the MSI laptops are up to standards and are working properly before it\u2019s released to the public. Things like the language of the operating system and the display of the keyboard are tested during this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the laptop is packaged along with its accessories, it\u2019s then transported and during this stage, a test is also being done at the same time (transportation simulation test).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all these steps in MSI\u2019s manufacturing process, the labor that goes into checking each laptop would contribute to the total cost of the laptop itself making it all the more pricey. This isn\u2019t a bad thing though since users would know that a lot of effort was put into manufacturing their MSI laptop to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Cooling System<\/h3>\n\n\n\nLaptops are a lot thinner and compact compared to desktops and this drives laptop brands to innovate cooling systems that would fit their thin laptop chassis. This extra step would demand costs from laptop brands and this adds up to the total cost of laptops; this applies to MSI as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The premium laptops of MSI, both gaming and business-class laptops, are all thin and lightweight, each model having its cooling system that fits snugly inside the chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These cooling systems aren\u2019t the same as the ones you see in bulky old model laptops since these are designed differently to dissipate heat effectively despite being enclosed in a thin chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
