In the hierarchy of MSI laptops, the Vector models occupy one of the leading roles along with the Titan, Stealth and Raider gaming machines. As you might guess, they stand out due to the extremely powerful hardware, designed for modern games in Full HD or 2K resolution.

In the top-end MSI Vector configuration, you can find a top-end Core i9 / Ryzen 9 caliber processor with NVIDIA's flagship graphics card (RTX 3080/4080). Depending on the modification, the laptop can be equipped with 16, 32 or 64 GB of fast DDR5 RAM with a clock speed of up to 4800 MHz. To store the user's library of games, an NVMe SSD drive with a capacity of up to 2 TB is provided, operating on the PCI-E 4.0 4x bus.


In MSI Vector modifications, a lower level usually has Core i5 / Core i7 chips and an above-average video card a la RTX 4060/4070, and the amount of RAM is usually limited to 16 GB, which is just enough for most modern games. The introduction of MSI OverBoost technology allows the processor and graphics card to operate at a higher power limit than usual. This stuff is cooled by the proprietary Cooler Boost system, which in most assemblies consists of a pair of fans and a pack of copper heat-conducting pipes.

In most cases, a high-quality IPS display with a diagonal of 15 or 17 inches is responsible for displaying the image. The resolution is usually Full HD, the refresh rate is 360 Hz. The rest of the equipment of the average Vector laptop includes a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) receiver, an additional SSD drive bay, USB C with fast charging and a high-end keyboard with individual backlit keys.

In the top variations, an unusual model from the Danish magicians from SteelSeries is installed, the backlighting of which can be adjusted so that it displays some useful information. For example, the color of the highlight can change from green to red when the character's health decreases. Or you can make it flash when new messages arrive in Discord.
