MSI Thin THINA15B7461 2025, Ryzen 5 7535HS, 64GB, 4TB SSD, RTX 4060, Black

The MSI Thin A15 packs a 4TB NVMe SSD in the 99th percentile and 64GB of RAM in the 94th percentile, which is exceptional for any laptop. The RTX 4060 is a solid mid-range GPU in the 85th percentile. But the compact score of 46.4 out of 100 means this is a chunky machine, and the Ryzen 5 7535HS is just average.

The RTX 4060 is the star of the show for gaming. With 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM and DLSS 3 support, this GPU handles modern titles at 1080p without breaking a sweat. It's in the 85th percentile for GPU performance, which puts it ahead of most laptops in our database. You'll get smooth frame rates on the 144Hz display in esports titles, and AAA games will run well with DLSS enabled. The Ryzen 5 7535HS with its 6 cores and 12 threads is fine for gaming, but it's the 56th percentile CPU that might hold you back in heavily multi-threaded workloads.

The 64GB of DDR4 RAM is where things get interesting. At the 94th percentile, this is more memory than most desktop gaming rigs. For gaming, 16GB is plenty, so this is really aimed at people who run memory-hungry applications. The 4TB NVMe SSD at the 99th percentile means load times are fast and you'll never think about storage space again. The 144Hz IPS display is decent but not exceptional, sitting at the 62nd percentile. It's a 1080p panel, so don't expect the sharpness of a QHD or 4K screen, but the high refresh rate keeps things smooth.

Against the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, the MSI Thin A15 wins on storage and RAM but loses badly on portability. The Zephyrus is a much more compact machine, while the MSI's compact score of 46.4 out of 100 puts it in the 15th percentile. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 will likely beat this MSI on CPU performance and build quality, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a Legion with 4TB of storage and 64GB of RAM at this price point. The HP OMEN Transcend 14 offers a better display and more premium build, but again, the storage and memory on this MSI are hard to match. The Apple MacBook Pro M4 Max is in a completely different league for CPU and GPU performance, but it's also in a completely different price bracket.

The value proposition here is tricky because we don't have a price for this specific configuration. What we can say is that the 4TB SSD and 64GB of RAM are specs you'd normally pay a serious premium for, and they're both in the top 10% of our database. If you can find this machine at a reasonable price, the storage and memory alone make it a compelling deal. The RTX 4060 is a solid mid-range GPU that will handle 1080p gaming for years to come. Just keep in mind that the CPU and display are more budget-oriented, so you're getting a machine with exceptional storage and memory paired with a mid-tier processor and screen.

The MSI Thin A15 packs a 4TB NVMe SSD, which lands in the 99th percentile for storage in our database. That's the kind of spec you usually see on machines costing twice as much, and it means you can install a massive game library without ever thinking about uninstalling anything. The 64GB of DDR4 RAM is also a standout, sitting in the 94th percentile, which is frankly overkill for gaming but a dream for anyone running virtual machines or heavy creative workloads.

The RTX 4060 with 8GB of VRAM puts this machine in the 85th percentile for GPU performance, which is solid for a mid-range gaming laptop. The Ryzen 5 7535HS is more of a middle-of-the-pack CPU at the 56th percentile, and the 144Hz 1080p display is about average at the 62nd percentile. So you're getting a machine with exceptional storage and memory paired with a good but not great processor and screen. The compact score of 46.4 out of 100 tells the real story here, this thing is not winning any portability awards.

If you need a laptop you can actually carry around, skip this one. The compact score of 46.4 out of 100 puts it in the 15th percentile, which is rough. The Ryzen 5 7535HS at the 56th percentile is also a weak spot if you're doing heavy CPU-bound work like video encoding or compiling large codebases. And if you're a competitive gamer who wants the best possible display, the 62nd percentile screen with its 1080p resolution won't impress. Battery life is another concern, with one owner reporting around an hour of use, so this is not a machine for working away from an outlet.

The MSI Thin A15 is a machine with a very specific identity. It's a gaming laptop that prioritizes storage and memory above all else, and it delivers on those fronts spectacularly. The 4TB SSD and 64GB of RAM are genuinely impressive, landing in the 99th and 94th percentiles respectively. The RTX 4060 is a capable GPU that will handle 1080p gaming with ease. But the Ryzen 5 7535HS is a mid-tier CPU, the display is average, and the compact score of 46.4 out of 100 means this is not a laptop you'll want to carry around every day. If you need massive storage and memory in a gaming laptop and don't mind the bulk, this is a strong choice. If portability matters, look elsewhere.
