MSI’s Cyborg 14 is a lower end budget friendly 14” gaming laptop compared to the competition. But a lower price means compromises have to be made, which is why I bought one to test out in this review!

I've been saying for like a year now anything under 17.3" is too small for a grown man. But, I literally returned mine because 1440p is ridiculous. lol, it cost like at least $5k for 4k.
These 2024 laptops without gsync? Am I missing something? Is it because they are amd based freesync compatible? I found a few with like awesome adaptive optimus and gsync. But, I am assuming that's "an acer thing?"
Man I need an advice should I bay Asus ROG strike g 15 rtx 3060 6gb 140w 16g ddr5 or Lenovo legion 5 with rtx 3070 8gb 130w 16gb ddr4 I want the best performance in games ❤❤??

Is it enough for youtube/browsing/half-life 1?
It’s not lower end tho…
Really cool to see these 14" gaming laptops come back from the dead, remember Alienware used to make 13 and even 11 inch gaming laptops in 2010-2012, very interesting time
The extreme thinning of bezels + lighter yet more powerful hardware probably made it happen. I'm assuming 14" gaming laptops were never niche in the first place, since people who travel a lot and also hope to only buy one laptop for various uses are dime a dozen. But considering the explosive rise of handheld PCs and larger-screen phones, 13" to 11" laptops may not come back for the foreseeable future.
Good to see that you included the content creation tests!
A budget MSI gaming laptop with one fan being enough for cooling? Never thought this day would ever come true.
The cooling is enough only because of the low power limit of the cpu and gpu
It has been enough since 2023 lol, thanks to power limitation & well-optimized performance per watt on RTX 4000 series
@@hmooduto4406 I know, but the GF63 always struggled to cool the 45W 3050 in the past. The Cyborg is basically the same.
The performance isn't good enough for a budget laptop tho considering what competitor offered at same price, so gf thin & cyborg series are what you should avoid buying.
A budget gamer don't the leeway to upgrade their laptop anyway so getting the best price2perf takes the most priority
@@initialds4903 I know, I never recommend budget MSI. But that one fan can finally cool both CPU and GPU at the same time, while it couldn't in the past
I’ve said this before but I want to show my appreciation again for the effort you put into subtitles, it makes watching the video much smoother for me. Amazing review also, love watching you!
Jarrod this is unrelated but thanks to your guidance I was able to buy a 2023 LOQ 15. Absolutely in love with this first gaming laptop of mine. Thank you for your through, high-effort, quality information!
Nice!
I went for a Acer Nitro 5 which is also my first gamer laptop ever. This guy makes very good vids thar helped me decide as well I wanted a LOQ but amazon gave the 27% off so I went for the acer.
@@altaccounti6520honestly both you and the OP picked a good choice... Hope you got a 4060 version.
What is the gpu of your loq?
After watching your videos for 5 years, never really owned a gaming laptop but your channel really made me want one and now after years collecting money, I finally bought an Alienware X16 2023 as my first ever gaming laptop. Thanks to your channel, I knew what to look out for and what to get. Keep up the good work Jarrod!
Nice! Hope it goes well
@@JarrodsTech going great so far!
Was waiting for this review
Nice to see Legion Pro 7i still on the charts, loving mine ❤
Can you do Raptor Lake Refresh Legions too, excellent review btw as always Jarrod
Man if only the usb-c can be used to charge the laptop I will definitely buy this. Having 14inch portable device but without option to use portable charger is a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the review Jarrod!
Considering the decent performance in silent mode, you could play a lot of games using a 100W GaN charger. Massive missed opportunity by MSI here.
You might be able to find a deal for the previous year's G14. Ryzen 8000 is essentially unchanged from Ryzen 7000
Hi @JarrodsTech , I was wondering if you could compare the HP OMEN 17 with the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i? These are the highest spec deals available at the website in the description. The Lenovo has a smaller yet faster and more pixelated screen, whereas the HP has a double the disk space and a less 'gamer' look for $150 less.
hey jarrod, can i ask how did you test the power scaling of the rtx 4060 mobile? specifically, how did you get it to run at 35w? i can't seem to set the power limit at lower than 60w in my lenovo slim 7
hey Jarrod if this laptop was literally the cheapest 14 inch laptop available where Im from,would recommend this laptop? like if theprice difference with other laptops was around a thousand dollars and I really want to get a 14 inch laptop for digital sculpting, light 3d modeling and rendering images of my digital sculpts and the occasional gaming at low settings, would this laptop be a good companion device and not a main machine that I can take with me on the go?
Hi Jarod
Intel core ultra 5 125 h laptop vs rtx 3050 4gb vs 3050 6gb
Which is better for gaming and editing
Hi jarrod, i m looking to buy a new gaming laptop. Should i go for new loq 2024 14th gen 4060 or wait for new predator helios 16 (2024)
3:49 Sounds like HDMI 2.0b, not 2.1...
I hope you will consider the 2024 MSI Stealth 14 next. I'm curious about the new OLED panel and the potential extra battery life from the Intel Core Ultra CPU
We'll take a look if MSI get it, they still don't have any laptops for us to borrow, which is why I had to blow $2000 AUD on this video lol
Great video! I was thinking of getting an asus vivobook pro 15 oled with an i9-13900h and a 6gb rtx 3050. Could you please review it?
Jarrod, Can You Please review the new Msi Katana 15 AI B8 ? I am planning to buy the one with Ryzen 7 8845HS, i want to know what is the benefit of having the 8000 series Ryzen
My new laptop has a 10% bottleneck and is because the cpu is more powerful. Will undervoltimg it improve it?
IT'S HERE!! Nice to see that it's pretty good for what it is and it seems to be a good pick up on sale, but man is that GPU power limit a shame
should i go for the cyborg 14 with rtx 4060 or stealth 14 with 4050?
Single fan and a 45w tgp. It's better to get a lenovo LOQ rtx 4060 if you're on a budget. Their prices are almost the same, at least here in my country.
Hello @Jarrod'sTech ! Any plans to review the Lenovo Legion 7i 2024 ( non-pro ) model? Thank you! Current "reviews" are just an AD...but I know you'd test everything accurately. Thanks !
Yeah just waiting on Lenovo because their new stuff is a rip off in my country. $3700 AUD for a 4070..
@@JarrodsTech that's a rip-off in your country? In Europe we pay ~ 3000$ for an entry level Zephyrus G16 (Core Ultra 7 + 4070 ) when in US ( I assume canada is ~ the same ) you get the Ultra 9 + 4080 for less and 4090 for a tad more. Tho, not Lenovo, this Legion 7 is similar priced here ( $3500 AUD )... but given you say it's a rip-off...I assume you're used to lower prices usually. Thx for the reply!
I'm kinda surprised with the thermal result considering this laptop only has one fan and shorter heatpipe (compared to larger laptops anyway). Granted the GPU is limited to 45W, but at first I thought it will go way hotter than the test suggest.
Hello 👋. Can you make a guide on best price worth gaming laptops in different price ranges? (without discounts, as discounts aren't available everywhere)
Guys, Which laptop brand is the best for i9 and 4070? (I had around 2400 usd budget)
TBH as someone who not only enjoys a good performing gaming laptop but also enjoys the design Id most likely go for this MSI because it does perform very decently but I cant get over how awesome it looks with that translucent housing. Looks like something from the 90s/early 2000s. Very awesome look if you ask me
I´ve run the Cyberpunk benchmark on my older Razer Blade 15 (GTX 1660ti@ 80W + 10785H) and it scored 45.58fps avg and 38.48fps min. Pretty nice little laptop. I might get one.
When will you review the Msi Pulse 15 RTX 4070 ?
This MSI Cyborg looks like a perfect candidate for a VBIOS flash (a VBIOS of 55-60W TDP will be just fine- almost a set and forget mod).
I want to see Msi raider 18 & titan 18
Alienware m18
when would drop razer blade 16 & and asus rog strix scar 18?
Acer Helios neo 16 with i9 13900hx rtx4060 32gb ddr5 512gb SSD for 1100$ worth or not?
Comprises are minimal even for it's size and price. Major ones include small batteries and single fans while minor includes smaller batteries and probably build but it's fine. I think it's a great yet powerful 14 inch device without breaking the bank. It's probably the most affordable yet portable gaming laptops we had in years that isn't 15"/16" and Razer slim
That single fan is a dealbreaker for me, every other gaming laptops have at least two fans while msi's gf and cyborg series only have one. Msi should stop doing this stupid design.
it's for people who dunno much about laptops.. they will see "oh cheapest rtx 4050 laptop", but get bamboozled with 45W TDP 😂
@@Flypt1d Different people have different needs. I own msi gp66 with 3070 and would totally get something with lower gaming power but also lower temps, weight and noise. My gp66 280W power brick is a serious chonker and a pain to travel with. When you game only from time to time and need cuda and mobility on a budget cyborg 14 looks like a good choice.
@@kiloseraif you only game lightly, then this laptop is almost useless
Have you even watched the video? The components are power limited and freezing cold. No need for more fans.
It's 45w
are u going to review the cyborg 15?
asus scar 18 looking incredible, hoping to see this video release soon
Is cyborg 15 the same but just bigger
Any chance you can review the omen transcend 16 2024 version with an oled screen?
Hey Jarrod, you still based in Canberra? I’m curious if you know of any decent pc diagnostic/repair places.
Not sure sorry, never needed to look for one.
Would it be possible to flash the bios to achieve more than 45w on the gpu and use a better power supply to accommodate? Clearly the cooling can handle a little more power and that screen is impressive for the price so it would be a shame to have a poor gpu with a good screen.
Is it an artificial limit?
At least they improved the screen...
A few more years and maybe someone will start considering it😅
Yeah not having a shitty screen was a big surprise.
What would you recommend living in the EU?
@@FreshPanda97 It depends on how much you need a graphics card. Many Lenovo sites in the European market offer the Yoga with R7-7840HS or Ultra 7 125H with 32 GB Ram. Premium laptop with good speakers, good battery and possibility to play games. However, if you need a GPU, I would be interested in Stealth 14 or Zephyrus G14.
Oh wow the hdmi connects to the integrated graphics. Normally I see the hdmi ports connecting directly to the Nvidia graphics card in gaming laptops.
Hello, I see that cyborg and other msi laptops has 1 fan, can be this a problem ? I intend to by a budget laptop that will run without heat issues in a hot area (summer 45°), what you recommend? Thanks

Please make a video on lenovo yoga pro 9i 2024
I would absolutely love to see a cyborg 15 review. When should I expect one?
Probably never, I feel like it's too late. MSI didn't send it over to us last year and I left it too late to justify buying it. Now it's unchanged this year, so don't know if it's worth bothering with.
Can you review normal Cyborg 15?
Jarrod pls do lenovo legion 5i pro 2024 review pls
What about the cyborg 15 ?
I don't mind where MSI cut corners here EXCEPT for the lack of USB-C charging. That's a deal-breaker as far as I'm concerned.
I cant seem to find the stealth 14 with the 4070 anywhere.
Can you test the 4060 version so we could know if it's worth it to get the higher priced option or not?
Check my 4050 vs 4060 comparison video, I won't be spending another $2000 AUD on another Cyborg sorry.
I was about to get mad at myself for missing this video and going for Lenovo LOQ 15 (7840HS + RTX 4060) instead of this when the price in my region is pretty much the same and I value portability.
But seeing that the GPU is limited to 45W and thus loses a lot of its performance, I felt a sense of relief. :D
But, with all this features in the BIOS can you increase power limit for the GPU?
No, that's an Nvidia limit, would need VBIOS flash I imagine.
lack of usb c charging is dealbreaker. Moreover they should have include type c charging only since 120w is not huge power. Decent Gan charger can deliver 120w easily.
What about the one fan?, mux switch? 45 watt TDP
@@El75390 yeah agreed but its still delivering okayish performance at 45w. So for me (personal usecase) lack of usb c charging is dealbreaker. I have my desktop for heavy games but I travel a lot so for that purpose 4050 even with 45w is good enough for me. But carrying proprietary charger is hassle for me. I dont like to carry multiple charger with me.
So, worth it?
Hello I am your subscriber I need an help, recently I ordered an Acer Nitro 5 with Ryzen 7 7735HS with 4gb RTX 3050 95watt TGP and 16 gb DDR5 ram , I got it for 59K is it worth it ? Please help
I never expect this laptop will get decent enough screen and right thermal control to accomodate single fan design. You can be mad at me but i'll consider this one for my next laptop, especially if MSI Indonesia price this thing right.
can this model use e gpu
just wanna throw this out there the cyborg 15 inch i have is a real pain to upgrade the nvme. the screw is so tight its impossible to take it out. msi tightened that particular screw way too hard. im sure the 14 inch is still the same but getting into the laptop is very easy.
I hope the hinge doen’t give out in a year or two…. If it does maybe it can be screwed form the outside with much epoxy
LG laptops also have awesome BIOS customization by the way 😉
hey jarrod can u answer this please if possible. i have ideapad 5800h rtx 3060(90w). my issue is after 1yr of use i am getting coil whine in gpu, so is it ok to game on and keep it under load(coil whine should not hurt the device right). or should i get lenovo to repair/ replace the component ( these may give a refurbished board if i force them to repair it i am under premium warranty)
Any laptop can have coil whine, it's normal, usually once the fans are going or you throw on some headphones it does not matter. I do not think coil whine is a valid reason for warranty/exchange. You just roll the dice and waste time to probably end up with the same thing.
@@JarrodsTech thank you
The Cyborg 14 mostly cuts the right corners and its cheapness resulted in *more* features than much more expensive 14" gaming laptops (replaceable RAM, ethernet port at the back). A Core Ultra or Ryzen version would've been the cherry on top with the much needed battery life and performance.
yeah.... the lenovo slim 5 kinda makes this a bad option.
This is just literally MSI GF Thin series with 'more fragile' (since it's plastic). For 1000$, I'd suggest buy Bravo 15 (that 200$ more cheaper) that has both numbers keyboard and one more fan or it's 15 series with numpads.
when is the next QA video jarrod ?
and i wanted to ask a tuff question, should i buy this years G14 with a 4070 or wait for RTX 50 and ZEN5, i need a laptop this summer but if i get it in this summer i wont get the best value, currently owning a Strix G15 with a 4800H and a 3060, this laptop has huge performance problems, its slower than a 3050 while having a 3060, and cpu is 30% slower than the average same sku
is the 4060 mdoel limited to 45W as well?
Yeah
gigabyte has a really wierd laptop last year, aorus 16 not the 2024 ver 16x
it got 4 fans and only got launched in taiwan
can you review that one before this year's 16X
@JarrodsTech Please 🙏🏾 the Razer Blade 16 2024 OLED. Half a Millisecond panel is insane 😅
Can you make a review on Asus Scar 18 g834 2024
"that's just how tech work's"
It was to be a valid argument but is it really valid when we talk about laptops are they actually usin smaller anything when it comes to electronics?
I can only see a smaler battery and chase.
Does it use smaller ram? Capacitors?
Really what is smaller and cost's more to produce at that size.
I'm genuinely asking
I can compromise with performance, build quality but not with arrow keys🙁😫
I own an entry level cyborg 15. I bought it discounted 650 usd which is cheaper than any same spec laptop which range from 800-1000 usd due to taxes here in the Philippines. It is a powerful machine but I'm too worried about the temps due to its single fan design. The temps shows 70°C but the top cover above the keyboard is so hot to touch. My biggest regret with this laptop is the ram & storage thinking 8gb + 512gb is enough. Now I need to upgrade to 16gb + 1tb but it will cost me 150usd and it has a single ssd slot no expansion at all plus If I do it myself my warranty will be voided. I should have bought lenovo or an acer with a ryzen processor. The metal chasis really caught my attention with this laptop and now I regret with my decision. 😂
Honestly, the 95.3% of sRGB and only just being below max. 500 nits is very impressive for a budget laptop. Much better than the MSI GF63 with an awful 54% of sRGB and max. 250 nits and the Acer Nitro 5 2023 refresh with just 61% of sRGB and max. 290 nits that I owned. But that doesn’t mean I would like MSI because the design is not looking that good compared to Acer.
Bought the Lenovo Legion Slim 5
Interesting.
Decent FHD 144 Hz screen but still a 45W GPU, the thermal results suggest a higher TDP GPU could definitely have been a possibility here.
Definitely, should've been a 60W RTX 4050. Maybe even higher, but I wouldn't really know how strong that fan is for both of the CPU and the GPU. Could've been a higher TGP, that's for sure.
Tell me someone, please, how good RTX 4060 50W with R9 7940HS 32 Gb RAM inside Asus Vivobok Pro 15 OLED
And what about optimus?
I think we should move past looking at power limits and focus more on price to performance, I'd rather have a 4050 running at 45 watts over a 3050ti running at 85 watts The fact that it gets similar performance to a 3060 running at 75 watts makes this a compelling laptop. As long as it's priced appropriately and performs well enough, we shouldn't get so hung up on the wattage.
Please compare 13700hx vs 13900hx vs 14700hx vs 14900hx
Can I ask what hdmi cable that is? Like the model
You can find them here: amzn.to/312yrwO
@@JarrodsTech thanks a lot
I bought one. The machine is very light. After playing Elden's Ring for a while, it reached 60 frames.The battery is a bit small. I can only watch videos for 250 minutes. I have a 16g memory. I plan to upgrade to 32g to see if there will be any performance improvement.
More ram will not help
did you buy this laptop? what specs you got? did you go with the 4060 model? how are the temps as well? Im considering getting this laptop maybe the i7 rtx 4050 version I think the 4050 is enough for what im plannning to use it for Im just concerned with the build quality over time tho as I've heard horror stories about single fan msi laptops being close to e-waste quality
Well I didn't have much buying options so I basically had to go through Amazon I was just so excited to buy my first gaming laptop I maybe was a bit impulsive.. I didn't spend near enough time looking as I should have. Was able to get a Cyborg 15 with a 2 terabyte SSD and 64 ram an i7 and a 4060. Just hope it can at least run current gen games with good fps I love beam ng drive and battlefield.. physics sims I really hope I didn't mess up purchasing this model. Crossing my fingers for when it arrives.
Also thank you for the MSI cheat code for the control panel. I'll try to see if I can change the wattage myself.
Edit:
Didnt really do much tweaking nor did I mess with the bios. But I used MSI center to adjust my fan curve. And since the mobo and software use power and edp throttle limits laptop stays nice and cool with out having to max out the single poor fan doing all the work. Even throttling I can play ultra beam ng just fine. So happy running a nice 72 degrees no cooling pad at 4200 rpms for the fan. Very nice
hows the laptop treating you so far?
@@adrianalcomendras6754 It's actually very nice except my heat on the CPU runs at 80 degrees monitoring with XTU. The laptop only has one fan and the house has very poor air flow. I can safely use the laptop at night. But during the day when ambient temp outside is 90+ I don't really feel comfortable running games. 80 degrees Celsius is normal playing beam ng with traffic and cooler boost on.
Probably invest in a cooler fan to go underneath for the 5 degree difference. I'm really ocd so I'm worrying maybe too much.
Thank you for asking ☺️ 🙏 I hope I can make this computer last. I've had so much fun trying x4 foundations and beam with real life car mods. It's a like a dream come true.
@@jessicameow614 oh the temp thing sounds a bit alarming but yeah hopefully your laptop lasts. since there arent alot of reviews on the cyborg 14 I guess Im trying to use cyborg 15 laptop user experiene as a sort of baseline to go off of. hows the gaming experience so far?
@@adrianalcomendras6754 Funny story so I ended up tweaking the MSI bios and went around undervolting, and trying to lower power consumption on the CPU. But it turns out the way the system is configured or something made it run a bit hotter so I ended up choosing the default optimized settings and it actually got better temps playing star citizen flat 80c with fan going about 4200 4700 rpms smooth as butter I know laptops run a bit hotter so ill need a cooling pad. But either I didn't undervolt correctly or the mobo is already optimized to run at certain clock speeds and throttles when necessary. since it has above average specs no frames are really lost do to throttling. But I do wish I could get at least 70c would be nice. Any ideas?
@@adrianalcomendras6754 it's a great laptop as long as you can keep your room a decent temperature the laptop throttles but it never impacts performance even star citizen so long as the specs are fine. I didn't need to tune anything really I tried but failed.
The mobo is designed to push the card and CPU till a certain point and it cools down naturally. Adjusting the fan curve is all I really did. Put it in performance mode and every game you play looks beautiful and runs smooth.
Where I live it's always hot especially in the day so the laptop would just be circulating hot air which doesn't help temps. The laptop doesn't need max fan boost either just a nice decent room and elevated a little bit and it's totally fine. Great laptop so far love how sturdy it feels and the metallic looks. And the keyboard is super nice and comes with a numpad. I'm very happy with it
IMO the pricing isn’t that good, considering a Lenovo LOQ 16” 4050 is around $800-$1000 and is simply better overall, aside from portability and other small factors.
you can get a 4060 legion slim 5 OLED for around 1000$
@@tocamose pretty sure the LOQ has an IPS panel, which is better for gaming in general but yeah that works ig
Ok the translucent plastic should be a thing normally
Msi:one fan is my untouchable limit
do aftershock aprx 15r
That chin though. Probably not a terrible option for people who want a cheaper, more portable laptop.
I like the big bulky heavy laptops.
Is this the AI one? If not, what's the deal with that?
What scares me is that there is only one fan inside.
In India, it had Ultra 5.
This and gf63 should be way cheaper , because you can get nitro 5 which is a way better machine than both of them for very similar price.
Just got the Cyborg 14 with the RTX for a single fan running 4060 not too bad but ofcourse this is the lower wattage 4060. Good Deal where I am can recommend this over the Cyborg 15. Display is much much better.
is it 45W only?
@@mrwallydrag yea but not too bad im getting around 80fps on high settings in Helldivers 2 and 200fps + playing overwatch, 4000 series GPU very efficient.
I think for the price, this is a REALLY nice laptop.
Never understood this 14 inch low config gaming laptop segment. Who is this really intended for?!? The screen is too small for gaming and the GPU is too weak to drive a nice external monitor.
Some people may have need for more power than non-dGPU laptop, but only have the living space for a 14" laptop. For example, I'm a university student who stays in a very tight dorm room, in which a third of the space is the bathroom, and that's when it was empty; and this was an upgrade from my previous dorm, which was even smaller. I certainly would appreciate a laptop at this size more than I would laptops at a larger size, let alone a PC - it's just much more practical for the living space that I do have.
