Graphics: The MSI Alpha 15 has a 4GB GDDR6 memory AMD Radeon RX 5500M graphics card. The RX 5500M is a middle-of-the-road graphics card that works well at 1080p resolution. It works with technologies like Radeon Anti-Lag and Radeon Image Sharpening, which can help reduce input lag and improve image quality.

 

Memory and storage: The laptop comes with 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which is more than enough for most gaming and work tasks. It also has a 512GB solid-state drive (SSD), which lets you boot up quickly and get to files and programs quickly.

It also has a numeric keypad, which can be helpful for people who need to enter a lot of numbers. The laptop has an HDMI port, a headphone jack, and several USB ports, including USB 3.2 Type-A and Type-C ports.

 

Design and Build Quality: The laptop looks sleek and modern with its black plastic body and red accents. It weighs only 4.85 pounds and is pretty thin and light for a laptop. The quality of the build is pretty good, and the laptop feels solid and durable.

 

Overall, the MSI Alpha 15 is a good mid-range gaming laptop with good performance and features at a price that is easy on the wallet. Even though it may not have the top-of-the-line parts of more expensive gaming laptops, it can still run most modern games and applications that require a lot of power.
