Performance, autonomy of the MSI Cyborg 15 B13WFKG-649FR

The MSI Cyborg 15 B13WFKG-649FR may appeal to those who wish to have a relatively light, high-performance, versatile laptop PC for gaming and creating with a recent graphics card.

Indeed, the high-end GeForce RTX 5060 ray tracing graphics card is on board, equipped with the latest generation NVIDIA architecture. Blackwell able to run recent games when it is able to deliver its full capabilities.

Unfortunately this is not the case here since its TDP is strongly limited.
Consequently, adjustments should be made under titles that require graphic resources to obtain good playability.
We appreciate even more that the screen is limited to Full HD definition. Because it is less demanding in GPU resources than High Definition (eg: 2.5K) and therefore ensures a higher number of fps.

Creators may be interested in the GeForce RTX 5060 because it accelerates multimedia processing under software using GPU computing power, such as Vegas, the Adobe suite or VSDC.

Depending on the tasks carried out, NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically activates/deactivates the GeForce RTX 5060 in real time. It prefers as much as possible the Iris Xe graphics solution inserted in the processor. Although it is much less powerful since it consumes little energy, which promotes autonomy.
In this area, count on around 5 hours of battery operation in light use.

In any case, the GeForce RTX 5060 is requested by Optimus to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically for gaming.
With one or the other, watching photos and HD videos (including streaming) is of course possible.

It is the Core i7-13620H which houses the Iris Xe, a processor equipped with 10 hybrid cores adopting the old architecture Raptor Lake but which still holds up. It is here coupled with 16 GB of RAM to deliver solid good performance which will satisfy many users.

Creatives will be delighted that the Core i7-13620H performs processing faster than a classic Quad/Hexa Core, the difference being particularly noticeable in areas requiring processor resources taking advantage of multi-core, such as 3D rendering, photo editing or video editing.

Thanks to its high speed, the silent, energy-efficient SSD obviously contributes to the good speed of processing as well as that of game/software launches, arrival on online game cards or even starts/stops, and more generally to good overall fluidity and responsiveness.

The SSD here offers 512 GB of standard capacity, a solution that is also found in many (much) more expensive models.
Of course, if you need additional space, you can rely on external storage media. To obtain fast transfers, we will favor the USB 3.2 (Type-C) device connection or, failing that, USB 3.0 rather than USB 2.0.

It’s a shame, however, that no additional SSD slots are offered.
Good point on the other hand for the scalability of the RAM since an M.2 slot is free to accommodate a second strip if necessary in order to be more comfortable in multitasking and/or during treatments for example.

Finally, this versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC heats up and makes itself heard when pushed hard (e.g. games, treatments).
If necessary to contain the temperatures, we can additionally use a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
