Chassis, connectors, screen of the MSI Cyborg 17 B13WFKG-090FR

Its angular Translucent Black design with translucent elements gives this versatile laptop cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and ventilation grilles an original gamer appearance.

This multimedia gaming laptop PC offers good connectivity including Ethernet and audio ports, an HDMI video output thanks to which it can easily be connected to a TV or a monitor, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely but also 1 fast USB-C in addition to 2 practical USB 3.2 for connecting various peripherals such as a mouse, a headset, a printer or even external storage.

We appreciate that the webcam comes with a shutter allowing it to be hidden when not in use in order to protect privacy.

A backlighting system is of course fitted to the chiclet keyboard, practical to activate in the dark and more generally whenever you want to better discern the keys.

The Full HD screen, which lends itself well to displaying videos due to its 16:9 format, adopts a frequency of 144Hz higher than the 60Hz standard, thus providing much better overall fluidity, including in games.
Due to its anti-reflective coating, the screen ensures better visibility than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).

Performance, autonomy of the MSI Cyborg 17 B13WFKG-090FR

The MSI Cyborg 17 B13WFKG-090FR is aimed at those looking for a high-performance, versatile 17-inch laptop for gaming and creating, equipped with a recent graphics card.

In fact, it features the GeForce RTX 5060 ray tracing, a high-end NVIDIA graphics card. Blackwell latest generation thanks to which players can play recent games.
And all the better since playing in Full HD provides a higher number of fps than in High Definition (eg: 2.5K) because the first requires less graphics calculations than the second.

If gamers will appreciate the GeForce RTX 5060, creative people will too since in applications taking advantage of GPU computing power, it provides graphics acceleration of multimedia processing. This is particularly the case under the Adobe suite, VSDC or Vegas.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 5060 is used by NVIDIA Optimus technology to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe solution inserted in the processor.

Whether with the Iris Xe or the GeForce RTX 5060, watching HD photos and videos is obviously possible.
Optimus ensures that the versatile laptop works at its maximum on the Iris Xe while its performance is significantly lower. Because it consumes little energy which favors the autonomy which we estimate here at around 3 hours on battery in light use due to the limited capacity of the battery supplied.

Depending on the tasks performed, Optimus automatically switches in real time between the Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 5060.

The Iris Xe is housed in the Core i7-13620H, an old architecture processor Raptor Lake equipped with 10 hybrid cores here coupled with 16 GB of RAM to provide very good general performance capable of satisfying a maximum of users.

The Core i7-13620H reveals its potential in CPU-intensive areas using multi-core, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering. Under this type of work, the Core i7-13620H performs processing faster than a classic Quad/Hexa Core.

Let’s take this opportunity to mention the possible scalability of RAM. Because a DDR5 slot is free to insert a second strip, for example if you need to be more comfortable multitasking or processing.

The storage is up to par since it is entrusted to an SSD with a high capacity of 1 TB where many models are satisfied with 512 GB.
You can therefore install and store multiple games, software and various files on this versatile laptop which is very responsive and fluid on a daily basis.

Very fast in addition to being silent and low energy consumption, the SSD obviously helps ensure that we can quickly access online game cards or that launching games/software, carrying out processing or even starting/stopping is quick.

Finally, in the event of heavy loads (e.g. games, treatments) expect this versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC to heat up and make itself heard, in which case we can add a ventilated support to control its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
