Editorial note

The MSI Gaming GS60 is a laptop that stands out for its optimal performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7 processor and 16 GB of memory. This allows for a smooth experience, whether for gaming or demanding applications. The 15.6-inch 4K Ultra HD display offers exceptional picture quality, making it enjoyable for multimedia activities and creative work. Additionally, its sleek black design and bar format add a modern touch, making it suitable for use in various environments. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The weight of 1900 g can make it less portable, which could be a disadvantage for users who travel frequently. Furthermore, the battery life not being specified leaves users in the dark regarding the duration of use without recharging, especially during intensive use. The lack of USB 2.0 ports and Thunderbolt ports also limits connectivity, which can be problematic for those needing multiple connections. Finally, the absence of an anti-theft security port can make the device vulnerable to theft in public places. In summary, the MSI Gaming GS60 combines performance and modern design, but aspects such as weight, battery life, and connectivity could be improved to better meet users' needs.
