Amazing laptop.
I love the laptop. The price for the performance is amazing. MY only downside is the battery life. This must be the area of saving. But it has a great cooling system and has not come close to over heating while running and plugged in.

Amazing value
I bought this laptop for college and for gaming on the side and it is exactly what I was looking for it's really powerful and while it's expensive the price matches it and is an overall amazing value. Keyboard looks really cool and feels amazing to use. It is a very good build quality and not very heavy. Has a webcam and mic and everything you need for video calling and work, etc.. the fans do get pretty noisy sometimes but I don't mind this at all. I would definitely recommend this product. One thing I would recommend though is a cooling pad as gaming laptops tend to run hot.

Works Good
Works good, runs as expected. Set up wasn't bad and I was able to turn off or uninstall most things I didn't want. It does heat up your room very quickly and can be quite loud, but I didn't notice it that often. I use it for both games and work, and the gaming is pretty good with not too much lagging even for higher end games.

Great for Gaming, Adequate for Work/Travel
For the price, the specs are very nice. Most laptops with these specs would cost typically $1800. The laptop performs great when playing games and doing any type of work with its fast processor and quick gpu. The RAM is nice for multitasking and ensuring smooth gameplay. However, there are a few downsides about this laptop which I will list below:1. Poor, poor battery life. Expect maybe 2 hours of use when running on battery life even for casual browsing and whatnot. Performance on these types of laptops drop significantly when not plugged in.2. The keyboard feels a little on the cheap side. The keyboard on this laptop feels slightly worse than the keyboard on my $800 acer laptop. The customizable backlights are nice, but I would rather have better keys than cool aesthetics.3. If you want to install a camera blocker on this, like the ones that you can slide open and closed, than too bad. The rubber bumper hugs the top of the camera making it impossible to do so. I guess a piece of tape would work though.Overall, for the price, it is well worth the purchase. If you plan on using this a lot for traveling and doing work, where you will run it on battery power, than definitely do not get this laptop. If you plan to use this where you were going to have it plugged in a lot and are an avid game player, then this laptop is definitely for you. The large screen is great, The specs are powerful, and it is a great value laptop.

Unstable fps. Windows 11. Bad delivery methods.
The media could not be loaded. Before reading this review, keep in mind that the sample size is 1(ONE) laptop.I cannot say for certain that all laptops of these series are bad, but i can say that 100% of this series of laptops that i have purchased (1 btw) is complete dog poo.tl;dr-delivery is nightmare for working class stiff (unless WFH)-all this bloatware that comes pre-attached with windows 11, and nvidia drivers, as well as norton anti-virus (LOL) which you CANNOT shut off-frame rate in this copy was dog poo, (extremely unstable hitting lows of 30, highs of 200, average about 40fps)-absolutely chugging when it comes to, say, 100 tabs (don't look at me like that, there are people like me out there)=was unable to test durability because it was returned in the first week=did not test battery life, as was plugged in from the start and being sent back=did not test speakers or keyboard or touchpad because i like my physical addons+1tb ssd seems cool i guess. people pay good money for this component alone+physically, structure is flat and airflow seems pretty decent without any addons+screen seems pretty huge for a laptopOverall 3/10mediocre for gamingterrible for workbad for multitaskingIf you want a computer that can do what this one does, buy an actual computer with parts you can change out.you're paying a huge premium to have this amount of tech be portable.Unnecessary Rant:Why on earth does a 1,300$ laptop "made" "FOR GAMING" hit 30 fps in ye-olden games such as-dota 2-league of legends (literally made with potato pc's in mind)-Team fortress 2Admittedly ran Battlefield 2042 pretty well with minor hiccups, but i run every game at min settings??sure, it hits 200 fps (ON OCCASION), but the monitor's refresh rate is 144??? so what's the point of going all the way up to 200 and then shooting down to 30????The fps simply isn't stable, and jumps from 30 to 200, averaging maybe 40 from what i can tell?Last 7 year old msi laptop that was literally coming apart at the seams was performing better in these games, and it was gtx 1060. I bought this laptop to replace it, thinking i was buying cutting edge.if this is cutting edge.....Also prone to freezing when simply alt tabbing from games to work, and freezing when loading too many tabs on browser of your choice (admittedly, this was a limit test of hardware capabilities)Delivery was a nightmare, though it was the better of two evils.Amazon delivery gave prediction from 0800-2200 of certain day, so I had to call out of work.I did not respond in the 5 minute window in which they told me delivery man was present (partially my fault i guess, but a 5 minute window from a 14 hour window???)next day, i took another day off from work to sit outside 40 mins in advance (when notification said delivery driver was 9 stops away).Amazon driver required my passcode to be entered into his device before he could give me the item.The other option was to leave it on doorstep and pray a porch pirate does not find it, which would be worse.Recommended to buy this stuff directly from a store, or utilize a third party drop off.

Now, this is what I have been waiting for!
It works great. Love MSI Center. Does not crash or hang up. All of my old games load and play. Did not work like that before. Automatically sets compatibility modes and asks if worked or not so can adjust or Leave the settings. Been spot on every time.Running new games on extreme and high settings. No issues at all. Forza Horizon 5, Red Dead Redemption, etc.... are real cool. No issues. The graphics are OUTSTANDING. On Laptop screen and on my 70" TV.Worth the price. Spent enough money on things that should work.This DOES work. Quite nicely.Uninstaller One Drive cloud crap and Microsoft 365 so I don't lose my pictures and they are not interfering with other important things.Sure like the Start menu a lot better. Simple and easy.
