The MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE-489FR faces the competition
The MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE-489FR is currently sold in Pack with a mouse + a backpack at Carrefour and offers an attractive configuration/price ratio for its category where it is one of the cheapest to offer such a high-performance graphics card in such a light case with a Pack and Windows provided.
If this MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE-489FR does not meet all your criteria, you will find other configurations for gaming with a similar budget in our gaming laptop guide. For the same budget, choose the model with the most powerful graphics card, it will have the greatest impact on performance.

Chassis, connectors, screen of the MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE-489FR
Cooled by Cooler Boost technology using 2 fans, heat pipes and air vents, this versatile laptop targeting gamers and creatives has a gamer look thanks to its lightweight Translucent Black design with angular lines and translucent parts.
This creative gaming laptop PC offers good connectivity with its Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6 axis wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, its useful HDMI video output for easily connecting it to a TV or monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports, its USB-C but also its 3 USBs including 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 when USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.
To appeal to gamers, the keyboard was developed with the help of SteelSeries to adapt to their habits.
In a dimly lit environment you can also backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard of course.
Players will also appreciate the screen’s 144Hz frequency because it clearly improves overall fluidity, including in games, compared to the 60Hz standard.
The screen adopts a Full HD definition associated with a 16:9 format suitable for videos while its IPS technology ensures significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles.
Anti-reflective treatment, the screen also offers better visibility than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
Performance, autonomy of the MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE-489FR
The MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE-489FR is aimed at those who want to equip themselves with a versatile laptop computer that performs well in creative-oriented gaming.
It delivers good general performance which will satisfy many users because it is based on 16 GB of RAM as well as a Core i5-12450H Intel Alder Lake-H processor with 8 hybrid cores coupled with 16 GB of RAM.
In multimedia areas such as photo editing or video editing, we therefore obtain faster processing with this core than with a low-consumption processor and/or classic Quad Core. We clearly feel the difference under work requiring CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-core.
Keep in mind that to often carry out heavy multimedia processing, it is better to turn to a PC based on a processor with a higher number of efficient cores.
In any case, creatives will appreciate that the dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card accelerates multimedia processing under software using GPU computing power, such as Adobe Photoshop/Premiere, VSDC or Sony Vegas.
Gamers will also be delighted to find the GeForce RTX 4050 ray tracing here. Because it is able to run recent games.
Be careful, however, as the TDP is limited to 40W here, the graphics power is less than standard. Consequently, adjustments may be necessary under certain titles (the most demanding) to obtain good fluidity.
Still, NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically switches in real time between the Intel Iris Xe graphics solution and the GeForce RTX 4050.
The first is favored as much as possible by Optimus because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.
Autonomy represents an undeniable advantage of this configuration since it is around 7 hours on battery in light use. This is all the more appreciable as the weight of the computer is limited to less than 2 kg, which makes it easier to transport. Nomads like some looking for a student laptop PC may therefore be interested.
The GeForce RTX 4050 is therefore activated by Optimus to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically for gaming.
As for storage, MSI obviously opts for an SSD which consumes less energy than a hard drive (which promotes autonomy) while being more robust, quiet and much faster.
Concretely, thanks to the SSD we can access online game cards more quickly than with a simple hard drive and we obtain much faster game/software launches, processing and starts/stops.
Generally speaking, the SSD ensures much better fluidity and responsiveness than a hard drive.
Here it offers a capacity of 512 GB in line with the hard drive standard.
However, if this turns out to be too tight, you can rely on an external storage device. Favoring a USB 3.0/USB-C device then represents an interesting solution for obtaining fast transfers.
Finally, in the event of heavy loads (eg: games, treatments) expect this lightweight, versatile creative gaming laptop to be noisy and hot.
We can also associate it with a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!) to contain its temperatures.
