Frequently asked questions about this product

Is Windows installed on this MSI Cyborg 15 A13UC-2231XMA?
No, it ships with FreeDOS, without Windows. Plan for your own licence, to be installed before first use, or a Linux distribution. The machine is otherwise complete: it is the cost of the licence that is not included.
Can memory be added to this MSI Cyborg 15 A13UC?
Yes, without removing anything. The 16 GB sits on a single module, in a chassis that has two slots and accepts up to 64 GB of DDR5-5200. A second identical module can therefore be added alongside the one already fitted, enabling dual-channel in the process.
Can you replace this MSI Cyborg 15's SSD yourself?
MSI asks that you go through a service centre for any change to the drive, and the chassis has only one M.2 slot, already taken by the 512 GB SSD. In other words, the capacity supplied is what you have to work with — or else an external drive.
How good is this MSI Cyborg 15 A13UC's RTX 3050?
It is a dedicated card with 4 GB of GDDR6, set to 45 W maximum. This power envelope matters as much as the model name: two machines with an “RTX 3050” are not equal if one of them has more watts. Here, the target is 1080p gaming at moderate settings.
How good is this MSI Cyborg 15's Core i5-13420H?
The H suffix denotes Intel's high-performance variant, drawing far more watts than an ultraportable's U series. This i5-13420H packs 8 cores and 12 threads running up to 4.6 GHz with 12 MB of cache: the profile you would expect alongside a dedicated graphics card.
Can you connect an external 4K display to this MSI Cyborg 15?
Yes, the HDMI 2.1 output handles 4K at 60 Hz — twice the 30 Hz of an older HDMI, which keeps mouse movement smooth on a large screen. The USB-C port also carries video, via DisplayPort.
What ports does this MSI Cyborg 15 A13UC have?
Two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB-C that also carries video, one HDMI 2.1, a Gigabit network port and a combined headphone/mic jack. Charging, for its part, goes through the supplied dedicated 120 W adapter.
Does this MSI Cyborg 15 have a network port for online gaming?
Yes, a Gigabit Ethernet port is built in: in online gaming, a cable protects you from the micro-dropouts of wireless. Wi-Fi is still available, with Wi-Fi 6E Intel AX211 able to use the 6 GHz band, along with Bluetooth 5.3.
How much does this MSI Cyborg 15 weigh, and is it easy to carry?
1.98 kg for 359.36 × 250.34 mm and about 2.2 cm thick: that is light for a 15-inch laptop with a dedicated graphics card. The 120 W brick still has to go in the bag, and the battery is a 3-cell 53.5 Wh unit.
Is this MSI Cyborg 15 A13UC-2231XMA new and under warranty?
Yes, it is new and sealed, covered by a 1-year warranty, with the purchase invoice serving as the warranty document. The keyboard is a French AZERTY with blue backlighting, sound comes through two 2 W speakers with Nahimic 3, and a Kensington slot lets you secure the machine.
