How owner sentiment changed over time
ExclusiveBased on when customers actually wrote their reviews — so you can see whether early praise held up.
Owner sentiment has cooled since launch
- Q1 202650/100
Buyers praised the laptop's design and upgrade potential but criticized port placement, single SSD slot, and default performance mode. One reported severe performance issues.
- Port placement and limited ports on right side hinder mouse use
- Single SSD slot and no Gen5 support out of box
- RTX 5060 performance comparable to 4060, needs manual mode
- One user reports unusable gaming and app performance
- Q4 202587/100
Buyers praise the MSI Cyborg's performance, design, and value, but one notes a Windows 11 page file bug that caused initial slowness until fixed.

- Unique translucent black design, large 17.3-inch screen, and 1TB SSD
- Bulky but portable; great price-to-performance ratio with USB-C dock potential
- Windows 11 page file bug can cause slow performance until manually adjusted
