MSI laptops are known for their gaming laptops that consistently seem to be on top of their game. With a well-known brand like MSI, a lot of people expect their laptops to be near-perfect in all aspects such as reliability and durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This begs the question, do MSI laptops last long? How long do MSI laptops last? How durable are MSI laptops? We\u2019ll be answering these queries as you read the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, MSI laptops last long. Several users have shared how long they\u2019ve had their MSI laptops, some have said that their MSI laptop from the GT Series lasted them for more than five years while others had theirs for more than seven years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MSI has proved that not only are their laptops reliable in terms of performance but also in the department of being durable. The majority of MSI\u2019s laptops, especially the pricey high-end ones, are made out of aluminum and this already makes them durable against physical damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The durability of the external components of MSI laptops also applies to their internal components. How? MSI makes use of superb cooling systems for their laptops to prolong the lifespan of each component that\u2019s enclosed in the chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, as aforementioned, the reviews and experiences that users share in various platforms online would testify that MSI laptops do last long. In a general sense, the average lifespan of MSI laptops would be four to eight years. Of course, people may encounter minor hiccups throughout this four to eight-year timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An MSI laptop is also prone to minor issues as the years pass, luckily, these are fixable. For instance, hinge problems may be encountered or broken fans may occur after some time. People shouldn\u2019t fret once they encounter these issues as this will not affect how long their MSI laptop would last, on the plus side, we did mention that these problems are fixable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another thing (and this may be considered as the most important factor) that would make MSI laptops last long, is how users handle their laptops. We\u2019ve established that MSI laptops do last as long as their advertised lifespan, however, this can\u2019t be achieved without the effort coming from the users themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s only natural to expect that even the most durable laptops wouldn\u2019t last if they\u2019re constantly being abused by dropping them all the time, spilling liquids on them, overclocking at all times, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do MSI laptops last long? Yes, they do, so long as people take good care of their laptops, they\u2019ll be able to maximize the advertised lifespan of MSI laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MSI laptops last for four to eight years on average in terms of lifespan. As for battery life, they would typically last six to eight hours and there are also instances where the laptops would last 10 hours as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When answering the question of how long MSI laptops would last, it\u2019s imperative to talk about two things: lifespan and battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MSI laptops in general have a decent lifespan and battery life for being gaming laptops. Not a lot of gaming laptops can last as long as MSI laptops, however, their battery life isn\u2019t something to rave about since it\u2019s only considered as decent and nothing special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MSI laptops can easily last for four to eight years if they\u2019re taken care of properly. To prove this, a lot of people have shared their experiences with their MSI laptops and how long they\u2019ve had them running. In short, they loved their experience with MSI laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One user claimed that their laptop from the GT Series<\/a> has been running for more than five years, and the laptop even ran 80\u2103 to 90\u2103 games and it still managed to survive for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another user stated that they\u2019ve been using their MSI laptop (didn\u2019t specify which model) for seven years (and counting), they continue to state they\u2019ve used the laptop for both light and heavy work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Needless to say, several users in the gaming laptop community vouch for the longevity of both the GT and GE Series<\/a> from MSI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The longevity of MSI laptops applies to almost all of their laptop models, and yes even the old ones from the year 2012. A user shared their experience with their GT780DXR<\/a> that they bought in 2012 and said that it\u2019s still up and running in 2019, so that\u2019s a total of seven years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, MSI laptops have a decent lifespan, considering they\u2019re gaming laptops and it\u2019s common for people to think that gaming laptops don\u2019t last that long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just remember, to make the most out of a gaming laptop like the ones from MSI, ensure that the fans and vents are clear to allow airflow since overheating is one of the main causes of short lifespans in gaming laptops due to the internal components succumbing to heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The battery life of MSI laptops isn\u2019t something to rave about since it\u2019s pretty standard to come across laptops with a battery life of six to eight hours. There may be a reason why MSI laptops only have average battery life and this is due to receiving the laptops in an overclocked state<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a laptop is in an overclocked condition then it\u2019ll use its maximum output for everything and that puts a strain on the internal components such as the GPU and CPU. Apart from experiencing poor battery life, an overclocked laptop would most likely lead to other issues such as overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to this one user, they shared their experience of only having their MSI laptop last on them for 2.5 hours. This user concluded that it\u2019s a possibility that they received their laptop in an overclocked state which is why the battery is being drained so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next thing they did was to tweak the settings on his laptop, after doing so, the battery life of his MSI GS66<\/a> has significantly improved from 2.5 hours of use to 6-12 hours (depending on usage). The user also mentioned that tweaking the settings may help in resolving any lag issues that may occur in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The user has shared a link on the guides that they followed online that lead them to fix their battery capacity issue. The following procedures shown below are based on the experience that said user has shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An overclocked laptop can easily be tweaked so that the battery life and performance will be enhanced. If you want to find out more on how to tweak your MSI laptop out of its overclocked state, you may visit the following link below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find this a bit difficult to follow or you don\u2019t want to risk doing the procedures shown in the link, the next best thing you can do is to change the fan settings of your laptop by opening MSI Center. Change the fan settings to Advanced Speed or you may tweak it however you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may then proceed to turn off Overdrive and set the graphics mode to Hybrid (in General Settings via Dragon Center).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, these steps are optional but if you want to take your MSI laptop out of its overclocked state (this may or may not be the case for all MSI laptops), then you may do so (but proceed in caution as this may or may not work or cause issues to your laptop).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read More: <\/strong>How Long Do Dell Inspiron Laptops Last? (Explained)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n MSI laptops are durable to the point that they can withstand several physical and environmental damages done to them. Also, MSI laptops are durable since they\u2019re built to last for more than four years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot of people have had their fair share of MSI laptops that lasted them for a long time while some have only suffered minor dents and scuffs on their laptops.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another factor that makes MSI laptops durable is the components they\u2019re made out of. Be it internal or external components, these are made with high-quality materials (which explains their expensive price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The manufacturing process of MSI laptops also confirms that these laptops are durable. Before releasing them to the public, the laptops themselves undergo a series of tests to determine whether they\u2019re durable enough or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some examples of tests being done would range from the general testing of the on and off buttons and volume buttons to drop tests, temperature tests, shock tests, vibration tests, transportation tests, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MSI makes it a priority that every laptop they send out will meet quality assurance standards so that users aren\u2019t disappointed with their product. Users always look for longevity, durability, and reliability in laptops, thankfully, MSI can provide all of these in their laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the MSI laptops are made out of a mix of plastic and aluminum and aren\u2019t completely made out of a single material (e.g. full-bodied aluminum), they\u2019re all still considered durable. Some may find it odd that premium laptops from MSI still have plastic parts, we\u2019re pretty sure MSI designs their laptops like this for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, MSI has a decent build quality that surely makes the majority of their laptops durable. Just take note that MSI is also susceptible to issues like hinges breaking since these parts are made out of plastic. Not to worry though, you can have these repaired and your laptop is good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MSI laptops don\u2019t last as long as other laptops since other brands offer laptops that last significantly longer, especially in regards to battery life (e.g. Apple). As for average lifespan, MSI may have a better chance of outliving its competitors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To give a better comparison of how long MSI lasts compared to other brands, we’ll be presenting them in a table, and within this table, you\u2019ll see both the battery life and average lifespan of MSI along with other laptop brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take note that we\u2019ll be providing specific laptop models per brand and said laptop models are handpicked by searching for which model has the best battery life (per brand). As for the average lifespan, it would be based on each brand\u2019s general statistic, so this would apply to the majority of all laptops\u2019 lifespan belonging to that specific brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Do MSI Laptops Last Long?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
