HP Envy 13 Ultrabook Laptops with NVIDIA GeForce MX150 Graphics Cards
Allegations: Misleadingly marketing the speed and performance of laptops when only certain versions of the laptop perform as advertised
In April 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Micro-Star International Co. and MSI Computer Corp. for allegedly misleadingly marketing that consumers can upgrade the graphics card in the GT 72 and 80 series of gaming laptops from NVIDIA GTX 970 and 980 GPUs to later generations of the NVIDIA GPUs – such as the 1000 series of NVIDIA Pascal GE Force GTX GPUs – when such claims are not true because the graphics card in the laptops cannot be upgraded to the 1000 series of NVIDIA. (Thornton et al v. Micro-Star International Co., Ltd., MSI Computer Corp., and Does 1-25, Case No. 17-cv-3231, C. D. CA.)
