Released as a special edition for Rainbow Six Extraction, it carries the green-yellow design just like the game’s colours. It is powered by the new Intel i7-12700H and RTX 3060 GPU.
The performance of the laptop is good with 140W TGP and DDR5 memory. It features a 2560×1440 (QHD), IPS panel with 165Hz. RTX 3060 is not the best GPU for 1440p but with optimised settings, you can definitely enjoy games at 1440p.

With a 1TB SSD and a dual channel 16GB RAM, MSI does a great job with specifications for this price point. The battery life is really poor if you plan to use it for other purposes than gaming.
If you are bored with normal black laptops, here is a yellow laptop. Overall, this is a great laptop for casual, semi-professional gaming with a few trade-offs.
