Good buy. I would give it 4.99 stars (why in the description)

Read full description for clarification. Cons: The edge of the laptop can irritate the skin on your wrist if you type for too long. Might be too hot to use on your knees (assuming it's right over your pants). Robust and powerful machine. So far I've played AC Odyssey/Origins/Syndicate, SW: Jedi Fallen Order, Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Fortnite, The Witcher 3, No Man's Sky, Ryse Son of Rome and many other games on the best graphics settings. Never had any problems. There are many presets for fan performance and CPU/GPU. Automatic fan settings make it very quiet (the metal can feel a bit hot on the outside, but it's bearable. This means the heat escapes from the inside). Turbo mode will make it really cool, but at the expense of noise (you won't notice it in headphones. Sound is good. Boot times are amazing (even with my full SSD, it didn't even take 10 seconds to boot into Windows 10 screen).The screen is crystal clear (comes with a 120% aspect ratio configuration, which can be changed in the MSI configuration window).The brightness of the keyboard backlight can be changed (4 levels, from 0 to full), but the color is always red. The touchpad is strange for me but it's not bad. It's really a thing and light for its configurations. The power button is a bit hard to press and at first I thought it was the battery but I have actually not pressed hard enough .The webcam turns off automatically all the time unless you turn it on with the Fn+ key on your keyboard (I don't remember which one), I have de n Device Manager and it really doesn't look like it's connected at all. The power input is on the left center of the keyboard. Bluetooth works well with the Xbox One controller. Son, I'd give it 4.99: When typing, the ledge next to you can bother the skin a bit (since I mainly use it for gaming with a controller and when I need to type, using a wireless keyboard doesn't affect me), and sometimes it gets too hot to use on your lap during gameplay. Really good product, I can only recommend it. Friendly reminder: It's around 500GB so you can install around 8-10 of the latest games as they take up around 40-60GB these days.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Will do
