The MSI Thin A15 B7U (2024) is categorized as a gaming laptop and has a physical footprint of 359 mm wide by 254 mm tall, with a thickness of just 21 mm and a total volume of approximately 1,914.9 cm³. It weighs 1,860 g, which is relatively manageable for a gaming-class machine. The laptop includes a backlit keyboard but does not use a fanless design, meaning it relies on active cooling. It is neither weather-sealed nor built to a rugged standard, so it is intended for standard indoor use.
The MSI Thin A15 B7U (2024) features a 15.6-inch IPS panel with LED backlighting, outputting a 1920 x 1080 resolution at a pixel density of 141 ppi. The display runs at a 144Hz refresh rate, which benefits smoother on-screen motion during fast-paced content. It does not support touch input, nor does it include an anti-reflection coating on its surface.
The MSI Thin A15 B7U (2024) is powered by a six-core CPU running at 3.3 GHz base with a turbo frequency of 4.55 GHz, supporting 12 threads and multithreading, and built on an 8 nm semiconductor process. It comes with 8GB of DDR5 RAM at 4,800 MHz across two memory slots, expandable up to 64GB, and storage is handled by a 512GB NVMe SSD over a PCIe 4.0 interface using flash storage. The GPU operates at a base clock of 735 MHz boosting to 1,245 MHz, paired with 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and delivers 5.1 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 79.68 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 39.84 GPixel/s. The system supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and 64-bit processing, though it does not include XeSS (XMX) support.
In standardized benchmark testing, the MSI Thin A15 B7U (2024) achieves a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 7,009 and a single-core score of 1,769, reflecting the CPU's threaded and per-core output respectively. On the PassMark platform, it records an overall score of 17,901 alongside a single-core PassMark result of 3,122.
The MSI Thin A15 B7U (2024) offers a practical set of wired and wireless connectivity options. On the USB side, it includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, with no USB 2.0, Thunderbolt, or additional Gen 2 Type-A ports present. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, while DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, and VGA outputs are absent. There is no RJ45 Ethernet port and no external memory card slot. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) along with backward-compatible Wi-Fi 6, 5, and 4 standards, paired with Bluetooth 5.3. The laptop also supports AirPlay.
The MSI Thin A15 B7U (2024) is equipped with a 52.4 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge functionality, allowing connected USB devices to be charged even when the laptop is not actively in use. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
The MSI Thin A15 B7U (2024) includes stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headset jack for audio output, along with a single built-in microphone. It has a front-facing camera capable of recording video at 720p and 30 fps. The laptop does not support ray tracing, DLSS, or Dolby Atmos, and there is no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, or voice command functionality on board. A stylus is not included, and the S/PDIF output port is absent. On the sensor and navigation side, it lacks a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS, and there is no optical disc drive.
On the GPU side, the MSI Thin A15 B7U (2024) uses a Radeon 660M built on the Ampere architecture, featuring 2,048 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 32 render output units, and 6 execution units, with a GPU memory speed of 1,750 MHz and an effective memory speed of 14,000 MHz across a 64-bit memory bus delivering up to 112 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU supports multi-display output, stereoscopic 3D, Double Precision Floating Point, and carries a PassMark overclocked score of 20,106, while integrated graphics are also present. The CPU operates as a laptop-class processor with a 30W TDP, a clock multiplier of 33, a maximum operating temperature of 95 °C, and a maximum supported RAM speed of 6,400 MHz; it does not use big.LITTLE technology and has a locked multiplier. Cache configuration includes 16 MB of L3 cache at 2.67 MB per core, 3 MB of L2 cache at 0.5 MB per core, and 512 KB of L1 cache, spread across 2 memory channels. Supported instruction sets include SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AES, AVX, AVX2, MMX, F16C, and FMA3, and the processor includes NX bit support. The system is compatible with OpenCL 3 and OpenGL 4.6, supports ECC memory, and does not include LHR.
