Is the MSI Thin 15 good for gaming?

Yes for 1080p gaming. The RTX 4050 with 6 GB runs esports titles at high frame rates and most AAA games at medium settings. Expect to lower settings on the newest releases.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

Yes. It has two RAM slots and supports up to 64 GB of DDR4, and the 512 GB SSD can be swapped for a larger drive. Both are reachable through the bottom panel.

Does it have a numpad or touchscreen?

No. The keyboard is backlit but has no number pad, and the 15.6-inch 1920x1080 screen is not a touchscreen.

What ports does it have?

USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and a 1/8-inch headphone jack, plus Bluetooth. There is no memory card reader and no optical drive.

Is $1,249 a good price?

That is the only new price listed, at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, so there is no recent range to compare against. Check the price history on this page before buying.

What comes in the box?

The laptop, its power adapter and the usual paperwork. MSI does not include a mouse or sleeve.
