    Satisfied

    Smaller than I imagined but with a high resolution (2560x1600), the MSI Vector 16 is certainly a powerful PC.
    Its power means it heats up quickly and you’ll have to run the fans at full speed, which is a bit noisy. After that, it’s a regular trade for a high-performance laptop. With headphones, it’s fine.
    The power supply is at the back and above all, it isn’t round (because from moving and turning it over time, I regularly had an issue with the power connector on my previous rigs).
    There’s a numeric keypad.
    It runs well. So I’m very satisfied with it.

    Perfect

    Extremely fast delivery, very satisfied with my purchase and with the customer service, which met my expectations!
    The PC is noisy with the fan on maximum speed, which may bother some people.
    Personally, I am delighted with this MSI, which meets my needs.

    Battery draining issue

    Hello,
    The battery drains too quickly, even when the PC is in standby mode, which prevents me from using this PC as a laptop.
    Is this why this model is no longer available on your website, even though older models still are?
    I called your customer service department once and they had me change the configuration, but that didn't solve the problem.
    So, when I called for the second time, I asked for a replacement. I was told that this was not possible, but that I could request a diagnosis. The reason for the refusal was: "Given its performance, it is normal for the battery to discharge so quickly. And this is a gaming PC, so it is designed to be plugged in and cannot be considered a laptop."
    So this expensive laptop is not a laptop! Yet it was sold as such (before being removed from the website).
    Was this a geeky response or blatant bad faith? I expected more professionalism from LDLC and do not intend to leave it at that.

    Off-centre fan

    This is my second MSI PC, and unfortunately I've had a very disappointing experience with this recent model purchased at the end of October 2025. Within the first few weeks, a mechanical noise related to a misaligned fan appeared.
    First return to customer service: both fans were replaced, even though only the one on the right was affected.

    About two weeks after returning it, a new noise appeared, this time on the left fan, with the same symptoms (noise depending on speed).
    Second return to customer service: I was told that it was coil whine, an inconsistent diagnosis since the noise varies with the speed of the fan, which corresponds to a mechanical defect.It is difficult to know whether this is incompetence or a lack of consideration in the face of an obvious fault.

    A store advisor also informed me that an exchange would only be possible after four returns, even though we were already on our second.

    At this stage, the after-sales service experience does not reflect the expected quality.

    Powerful for the price

    Powerful computer for the price, especially with the 5-year warranty at no extra charge. Fast delivery.
    The charger connections are not very practical: the plugs are not flat and the cable is a little too short to lay the case on the floor.
    Suitable for the moment (purchased only 1 week ago, for 3D animation studies).

    Charger

    It's a very good laptop, but the problem is the charging system at the back of the computer, which isn't at all suitable for a laptop, and the adapter, which I think is a step backwards, whereas the old system worked very well.

    Incredible

    Being used to a fixed gamer PC, I wanted to switch to a laptop so that I could take it with me everywhere and also use it in bed to watch films. The PC is simply incredible and well worth the price, whether it's for the power or the screen, I have nothing to say.

    Great product ??

    I bought this PC to replace a msi ge66 and I was really surprised by the difference. The PC heats up much less (CPU 80° and GPU 86°) which means that the components can be used to their full potential. On the other hand, I found that at least 1 USB port was missing, which would have been more practical for plugging in Classic USB equipment.
    I would recommend this product.
