MSI GF63 Thin 11SC Intel Core i5-11400H 8GB DDR4 512GB NVMe SSD NVIDIA GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 15.6″ FHD IPS 144Hz Gaming Laptop (Black)

MSI GF63 Thin 11SC — 11th Gen Gaming Power in a Slim Build

The MSI GF63 Thin 11SC is a true entry-level gaming laptop that punches above its weight. We tested this unit hands-on at our Dhaka branch, and the balance of raw gaming performance and everyday usability is hard to argue with at this price point. Slim, light, and built for real gaming sessions, it brings a capable 11th Gen Intel processor and dedicated GTX 1650 graphics together in an understated black chassis.

Processor — Intel Core i5-11400H

Under the hood is the Intel Core i5-11400H — a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Tiger Lake-H architecture. It runs at a base of 2.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.50 GHz with 12MB of L3 cache and a 45W TDP. Whether you’re loading into a competitive shooter or running multiple browser tabs, this CPU handles the workload without breaking a sweat. The 11th Gen H-series delivers a meaningful leap in multi-threaded tasks over previous gen U-series chips found in thinner alternatives.

Display — 15.6″ FHD IPS 144Hz

The 15.6-inch IPS-Level panel outputs Full HD 1920×1080 resolution at a silky 144Hz refresh rate. For fast-paced games — FPS titles, racing, or MOBAs — the jump from 60Hz to 144Hz is immediately felt: motion is smoother, input lag feels tighter, and tracking moving targets becomes noticeably easier. The thin-bezel design keeps the laptop compact while maximising screen real estate. The display covers 45% NTSC colour gamut, suited well for gaming and general use.

RAM & Storage

This configuration ships with 8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM across one slot, with a second slot free — so upgrading to 16GB or 32GB requires no compromise. Maximum supported RAM is 64GB. The 512GB NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 SSD delivers fast OS boot times and quick game load screens. There’s also a 2.5″ SATA HDD bay available if you want to add bulk storage later without replacing the primary SSD. [Browse all gaming laptops]

>Fan noise: Audible under gaming load but manageable; quiet during browsing and productivity tasks

>Battery real use: Expect 4–5 hours on light work; gaming pulls the battery down faster, keeping it near the adapter

Design & Build

Weighing just 1.86 kg with dimensions of 359 × 254 × 21.7 mm, the GF63 Thin lives up to its “Thin” name. The all-black plastic chassis doesn’t feel cheap — it’s solid, with minimal flex on the keyboard deck. MSI has certified this series to MIL-STD-810G standards, meaning it can handle the bumps and drops of daily commuting. [View all MSI laptops]

Audio

Two built-in speakers deliver Dynaudio-tuned sound with Hi-Resolution Audio support. There’s also a dedicated headphone-out and mic-in port for gaming headsets. The audio output is clear and loud enough for casual use, though serious audiophiles will reach for a headset during extended gaming.
