The MSI Cyborg 15 A13VFK-1640FR faces the competition

The MSI Cyborg 15 A13VFK-1640FR is currently displayed in sales at Darty and offers a configuration/price ratio interesting for its category where it is one of the cheapest and lightest to offer such a high-performance processor and graphics card with Windows included in such a light body as well as such high battery life.

If this MSI Cyborg 15 A13VFK-1640FR does not meet all your criteria, you will find it in our guide Gaming laptop other configurations to play with a similar budget. For the same budget, choose the model with the most powerful graphics card, it will have the greatest impact on performance.

Chassis, connectors, screen of the MSI Cyborg 15 A13VFK-1640FR

With its angular Translucent Black design and translucent parts cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and air grilles, this lightweight versatile laptop has a gamer appearance.

In terms of connectivity, a creative gaming laptop PC is well equipped with its USB-C, its Ethernet and audio ports, its HDMI video output, useful for easily connecting it to a TV or monitor for example, its Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi wireless modules. -Fi 6E ax to communicate and connect remotely as well as its 3 USBs including 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) providing transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.

Designed with the help of SteelSeries to adapt to the habits of gamers, the chiclet keyboard has a backlighting solution. You can activate it whenever you need to better discern the keys.

The Full HD screen is suitable for videos due to its 16:9 format and has a refresh rate of 144Hz. Thus the screen ensures better fluidity in games and more generally in everyday life than a standard 60Hz panel.
Thanks to its anti-reflective coating, the screen guarantees better visibility than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) while its viewing angles are significant, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology.

Performance, autonomy of the MSI Cyborg 15 A13VFK-1640FR

The MSI Cyborg 15 A13VFK-1640FR may appeal to those who wish to equip themselves with a versatile portable portable PC that performs well in gaming and creation.

As its weight is contained and its autonomy is around 7 hours on battery in light use, it may be of interest to some wishing to equip themselves with a Student laptop versatile, efficient in play and creation.

We can indeed play recent games thanks to the dedicated high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing graphics card on board.
However, to play the most demanding games, concessions are necessary because here the TDP is limited to 45W and therefore restricted.

In addition to gamers, the GeForce RTX 4060 may interest creators.
Because it provides graphics acceleration of processing under software using GPU computing power, such as VSDC, the Adobe suite or Vegas.

In practice, NVIDIA Optimus technology activates the GeForce RTX 4060 to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe graphics module inserted in the processor. With one or the other, viewing photos and videos is obviously possible.

Despite its much lower performance than those of the GeForce RTX 4060, the Iris Xe is requested as much as possible by Optimus to offer the best possible autonomy.
Optimus therefore automatically switches in real time between the Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 4060, depending on the tasks performed.

The Iris Xe is integrated into the Core i7-13620H, Intel processor Raptor Lake with 10 hybrid cores supported here by 16 GB of RAM to provide solid general performance which will satisfy a maximum of users.

The GeForce RTX 4060 is well supported in its tasks by this heart which will delight creators. Because it provides much faster processing than a model based on a classic Quad/Hexa Core, the difference being particularly noticeable in areas requiring CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-core, such as video editing, photo editing or 3D rendering .

MSI of course entrusts the storage to an SSD that is silent, energy efficient, robust and very fast.
The presence of the SSD clearly reinforces responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis.

In practice, thanks to the SSD, game/software launches are quick, as are processing and starts/stops, and you can quickly access online game cards.

Here we find a 512 GB SSD, a classic solution. If you need more space, you can however use an external storage device, preferably USB 3.0/USB-C type to benefit from fast transfers.

Finally, in the event of heavy loads (e.g. games, processing) expect this lightweight, multimedia-oriented, versatile gaming laptop to heat up and make itself heard.
A ventilated support can be associated with it as needed to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
