MSI Does It Again!
I'm a laptop gamer, have been for over a decade. I've had Dell's rockin' XPS, I've had their less-than-satisfactory Alienware and when I needed a new laptop 6 years ago, I went with an MSI, due to the power at an incredible price. Think about that-- 6 years with the same gaming laptop. Ever since then, I've talked my daughter, her boyfriend, 3 of her friends, and two of my nephews into buying MSI and they all love them. I will never buy anything else. Now, to this review-- After 6 years, I needed a new gaming laptop so I bought this. Raytracing? Wasn't any hesitation. And it runs flawlessly! I'm running all of my games in Ultra mode and still getting a steady 60+ FPS. Here's a response to what other people have written: - Laptop is loud-- of course it's loud. That's because of the power inside. You're cramming the 3rd fastest video card on the market into an itty bitty chassis. So if you're complaining that it's loud, you simply don't get it. It's normal. - Low battery life-- It feels like the words "desktop replacement" have vanished from the PC gamer vernacular. It's not meant to run on battery. The battery is for if you suddenly have to move it, you can unplug it , move it, and plug it back in. Power goes out? Use the battery to sae your work, then turn it off. That's the whole idea. - The screen and video card are nothing short of amazing. 144mhz? Best screen I've ever used. No jaggies, no pauses, no split-screens. And the RTX card? MSI is one of the few companies that allows you to use the reference drivers directly from NVIDIA, and it's this reason that their laptops withstand the test of time. You get every update from nVidia, roughly one a week. New game comes out, nVidia writes it into their driver, you get it delivered to you. This is the main feature of the system. In contrast, Dell forces you to use their driver and rarely update it. Basically, the Alienware I bought was close to useless in less than a year. - Loud- yeah well, RTX card, lotsa fans running = loud. - heavy-- You're insane. This is one of the lightest gaming pc's on the market. - Sound-- okay, this one is legitimate. The sound is terrible, very tinny. But once I put my headset on, it sounds fantastic. So just figure on using headphones, which you're probably doing anyway to take advantage of spacial sound. - Space - yep, you're gonna need to get a second drive. So, people complain that the 512 gig ssd isn't enough to install a lot of games and they're right, but it's because they don't get it. The SSD should really be just for your OS and any read-write heavy apps. You'll need a second drive, probably a sshd or hdd and MSI, realizing this, has given us a second bay to install one. So quit whining. As you can see, I love my MSI and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Get one NOW.

Hotter than Texas in July!
I was originally looking for a decent gaming laptop, something I can bring with me and play while spending time with my loved ones. I never expected the sucker to be stronger than my desktop rig! Originally, I had planned on upgrading my desktop with the new nvidia 3000 series but now I'm content. Now for the juicy, seasoned, succulent details. Food remarks are weird for tech reviews, right? Wrong, because with the amount of power this bad boy has it'll cook anything in the way of those heat exhaust fans. Friends have told me, "there's now way that thing has a full rtx 2070 in there. It HAS to be throttled back." Wrong. The amount of heat this thing dishes out is enough to make my ever freezing, anemic girlfriend comfortably warm. That's saying a lot. Not so much as con as to be expected but just to point out the obvious, where shorts at the least or make sure there's some thick material between the Leopard and your skin. And gentlemen? Keep it away from your junk area. Now, for the reason it's putting out so much heat, starting from the top. Game 1: Hades. Supergiant's colorfully bombastic and wonderfully artistic game was the perfect warm up for the Leopard. With battery alone, it ran it decent but with a noticeable dip in performance while maintaining the high visual quality. But plug in that power supply and the heavens themselves seem to reach down and fill the Leopard with holy powers, purging the evil in all who gaze upon it. It's fantastic, the screen butter smooth at 144hz and making me laugh manically as I stared in awe at how well it performed. So, completely satisfied, I moved onto putting it through it's first REAL task. Game 2: Monster Hunter: World w/ Iceborne Was a little worried when it first loaded up and I noticed my character was slightly blurry, but that's just from the resolution scaling (I think) than anything else. Because going back to settings, I made sure everything was on high and/or max. Loading up into the Selliana gatthering hub, everything looked great, frames were smooth as Hades and the graphics were top notch. But let's be real, that wasn't pushing it to it's limits. Not really. I did what every Hunter does in their sacred quest of slaughtering innocent hulking beasts minding their own business. I travelled to the Ancient Forest and slayed the shit out some poor Great Jagras, all for the sake of limit testing. Everything was smooth, creatures in the distance flapped their wings without pixelating. My cloak trailed behind me casting shadows as I ran. The crisp outlines of the grass and leaves brushing against my skin or bobbing gently in the wind was when I realized that the power the Leopard has is beyond incredible. When that Jagras died on the shore, I thanked it for it's sacrifice for progress and exited my game for quiet contemplating. Monster Hunter is a poorly optimized game. It does NOT run well on most people computers, and certainly not 60 frames per second. The Leopard roared at the shitty engine implantation and forced the game itself to bend to it's will, forcing it run better than it had any right to. But, there's one more game I wanted to test, just in time too... Game 3: Baldur's Gate: 3 Wow. Just... wow. Character look fantastic, the moment to moment character interactions looked like cutscenes with the excellent amount of mo-cap and an extraordinary high quality voice acting. Even in Early Access, it looks fantastic and runs melted butter smooth. Except for when there's bugs and right now there's a lot of 'em, but no fault on the computer itself. I can't say anything bad about it, other than the speakers but c'mon, that's what headphones are for! They don't sound cheap or anything, just sound isn't as good without some bass and it's a laptop so don't expect a surround sound experience. Honestly, I just giggle and appreciate the fact that the LED lit keyboard is in itself a audio visualizer. Totally unneccessary features like that just goes to show how much fun this thing is and I haven't had my inner child squeal in such excitement since the day I bought my first 4k TV 3 years ago when it was on sale. Leopard > 4k TV Not much else to say after all that. If you have the money and were hesitating on whether it was worth the purchase price, I'll tell you they should be charging more and I wouldn't blame them. This has the power of something that should be almost $1700 or more, but you're getting a steal so strike while you can!

MSI GL65 is worth every penny for those who value it performance.
Where to begin. I have been using this laptop for about 7 months and I think it is worth of every penny spend on it and even more. I use my laptop daily, I work on it, do web searching, watch shows, but I mostly use it for gaming which is what this bad boy does best. I'm gonna divide my opinion on positives and negatives and then give a final conclusion. -Positives- -The 7th gen intel core and Rtx 2070 work amazing specially for heavy games, providing nice and flowing fps, I run big games like Battlefield, GTA, The Witcher, othes ehich require CPU like World of Warcraft, etc, and it has never let me down. -I really like how vivid colors are compared to other gaming laptops out there, most people won't notice or won't care but if you are one of those persons who like to watch TV shows on good quality screens or enjoy video games at it's best definitely this screen. -Thin screen, I love this; gives the laptop a modern, fresh looking appearance, some laptops look really bulky precisely because there is 1 inch of nothing on each side, making the laptop looking like a monitor from the 90's. -Nice looking keyboard, has many different combinations of colors and styles, I personally turn it down because I have always prefered nothing really, but it really helps if you need to type in a dark place. The keyboard is small but you will definitely get use to it (I hated laptop keyboards because how small they were, but now I love it) -Negatives- -I don't like were the usb ports are located, I think a better job could've been done. -I'm not really sure about this one but it kinda gets a little bit hot like a gaming laptops because there is not enough room for ventilation, therefore it's a bit noisy. However this could be fixed with a pair of headphones and putting something under the laptop to raise so it disipates heat. -Short battery life like 90 min on maximum performance or approximately 170min on battery saver, again this is a gaming laptop they have a short battery life, I keep mine plugged in during gaming and havy stuff so it is not really a problem for me, I knew my needs from the beginning. In conclusion if you are the type of person who cares more about performance than anything else this is an extremely good option, if you don't bother about battery life and can still work with 2 h 30 min at savings it might work for you. Again this laptop was designed for heavy stuff and to offer an extraordinary performance for the users eho value it. If you need a quite, not designed for gaming or heavy programs computter get a mac.

Great Quality to Price Ratio for Gaming
Context: I am a casual but enthusiastic gamer. I most frequently play Elder Scrolls Online (MMORPG), and I like to turn the graphics up as high as I can without causing the game to freeze. I'm coming from an HP Omen that's a couple years old. I considered offerings from Origin PC, but ultimately decided this was a better value. This is not a dedicated gaming rig. I use it for everything. IMO, this is a great gaming rig. Sub-$2k and has an RTX-2070? Great deal, and a nice step up from the GTX-1060 in my Omen (not a jab at Omen, I could have bought newer gear from HP instead of MSI). Playing ESO with the old Omen, I kept my graphics settings near the upper end of medium. The game would occasionally get freeze-y with a lot going on, but would be tolerable enough. The fans would howl every time I launched the game, and continue running like jet engines until I quit. I occasionally kept my game running in the background and open a web browser for a few minutes, at which point my GPU usage would jump from around 80% to pegged at 100%. With this machine, I've pegged my graphics settings in-game -- everything is set to its highest value (except particle suppression distance - it's at 75%). The GPU still pegs 100% if I also open a browser, but without the browser I hover between 65-78% GPU usage. I was expecting hurricane-force winds at these settings, but I barely even notice the fans. Graphics are quite noticeably improved, and the game has not yet lagged or frozen on me. Keyboard -- I like it. Soft but not mushy. Monitor -- not 4k, but a great monitor considering all else included at this price. Speakers -- garbage. Unless I've missed some important set up step that improves the output, these speakers are tinny and harsh. Sound quality through good earphones -- excellent. Nahimic is awesome. Data storage -- Subpar IMO, but again, at this price/hardware combo, definitely acceptable. I bought an SSD separately and plan to install it soon. Longevity -- no idea. I've had this machine for a couple days.

Great value gaming laptop. We'll see how this ages in 6 months.
Update 9-10-20 - I've spent close to a couple months with this laptop now. After I received the replacement (bad fan bearing in CPU fan) I've been extremely happy with my purchase. I'd recommend installing the Offline Dragon Center utility as it seems more stable than the Windows Store version. Otherwise, it does everything I wanted. Don't expect mobile versions of the RTX 3000 series until at least next year, so if you want a good RTX mobile laptop right now rather than 4+ months from now, this laptop is still your best bang for the buck. Update 8-06-20 - After a couple weeks with my second GL-65, I'm very pleased with the laptop. If you have a defective laptop, don't be afraid to send it back to Amazon for replacement if it hasn't been a month yet. Update 7-22-20 - I've encountered my first problem; the left fan (CPU) appears to have a bad bearing, and when it spins up in the 4000-5000 RPM range, it will make a clicking noise. It gets worse when the laptop is tilted, making me believe it's indeed a bad bearing. These things happen and I'm okay with this as long as MSI gives me a decent path to a repair. Currently I opened a case with MSI to see if they'll just ship me the replacement fan (I repair laptops from time to time) to save the time and money that would be required shipping the laptop back. Failing that, I'll be requesting a replacement on Amazon. Update 7-22-20 : MSI support contacted me and informed me they could send a replacement fan, but I'd have to pay $10 to have it shipped to me. That seems reasonable, but I don't like that I'd have to pay to repair something I just bought. I'm a little tempted to dock the laptop a star, but I'll wait to see if the replacement has any issues first. I decided to simply return the laptop to Amazon for a replacement. It only took around 10 minutes and a replacement is on the way. Original Review: I've been laptop hunting for a couple months for a laptop that can (likely) play Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out later this year. I came down to a handful of requirements: 1.) GTX 1660 TI, RTX 2060 or RTX 2070. AMD mobile cards are unproven at the moment, but the 5600m came in slightly faster than the GTX 1660 TI, so I wasn't ruling it out. It's just rare right now. 2.) Either an AMD Ryzen 7/9 CPU or 10th gen Intel i7/i9. I was very close to buying the ASUS ROG G14, but the RTX 2060 MaxQ runs at 1660 TI levels and is the least powerful RTX card that exist. Ray Tracing is a token feature when it will barely run on it. I also came close to buying the Asus G15, and even closer to the HP Omen 15 since it had a RTX 2070 and appears to be a solid laptop. Then I found this laptop. The reviews are great, the thermal system is robust, the monitor is solid and the specs are perfect for this price range. ($1400-$1600) Pros: 1.) One of the best i7-10750H + RTX 2070 laptops on the market. It's actually designed to handle the thermals of these two components. 2.) The RTX 2070 is a 115watt mobile spec, meaning it's not a handicapped MaxQ part that runs closer to a RTX 2060. That means you have a full 8GB frame buffer and better RTX support. 3.) The i7-10750H, while outclassed by the 3rd gen Ryzen 5/7/9 is an unlocked CPU, and this laptop allows you to fully manipulate it once unlocked in the BIOS. This is probably the best Intel mobile CPU you can currently have for gaming, as the i5 series is a little weak with only 4 cores and no "K" level manipulation. 4.) The keyboard is quite nice. I immediately disabled the rainbow RGB and turned it all green. I like how it looks with solid colors. The trackpad is fine and I love the dedicated buttons rather than the silly "Mono-slab" popularized by Apple. Dedicated buttons are almost always better for power users. I use a USB wireless mouse anyway, but I appreciate the buttons. 5.) The build quality, while very plasticy, is good. I was able to remove the bottom panel to install an extra 1TB SSD and was impressed by the excellent heat pipe design and layout. 4.) Neither RAM module is soldered on, so you can upgrade to 32GB if you really want. Currently 16GB is ideal, which it comes with. 5.) The MSI software, while clunky, is effective once you get used to it. I appreciate the "Mode switch" keys. Silent mode is impressive, in that it manages to keep the fans reasonable at ~3000 RPM while only losing 10-20% of your FPS at worst. 6.) Performance in games is excellent. Red Dead Redemption 2 plays excellently at max settings, 1080p. Warhammer Total War 2 also plays great maxed out (maybe step back some of the excessive effects for 60FPS+) and I'm sure the rest of my games will do fine too. 7.) The monitor/lid is sturdy, has very thin bezels for the top and sides. The bottom bezel is larger, but not bad. The webcam is tiny and actually there, something the Asus G14 is missing. The 144hz refresh rate is impressive and the screen hits 320 nits brightness, pretty close to ideal. There is some moderate backlight bleed, but this shouldn't be an issue in games. Cons: 1.) Although it's not terrible, the MSI logo on the front lights up with the monitor's backlight and can't be turned off. It looks kind of cheesy and I wish it was just a solid lid with minimal logo. 2.) The design is moderately gamery, with the bottom being a strange mess of design (but effective vents) and the lid "ribs" being a little cheesy. I think they really strengthen the lid however, so I won't complain too much. I like HP's 2020 refresh Omen 15 and Asus G14 designs better. 3.) Playing with stock balanced mode settings, the fans can get very loud and the i7 CPU will happily run up to 95C and throttle. This is more of an Intel issue, as they have been falling behind in die shrinks compared to AMD, and suffering thermal issues as a result. However, I'll touch on this later, as it can be fixed. 4.) It's a little heavy, but within reason. 5.1 pounds for the laptop and a big ~2.1 pound charger adds a lot of weight to your bag. I definitely notice it even though my previous laptop was 4.8 lbs with a 1 pound charger. 5.) The glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet. It'll annoy you if you don't like smudges. 6.) Battery life is towards the bottom of most laptops, but you can improve it by disabling CPU boost. I get between 3-5 hours with normal web usage, and only an hour if gaming. You've got to tinker with it to pull 5 hours out. (Disable CPU boost, Max Battery mode, dim screen) 7.) Although this is in the top range of ray tracing capable mobile cards, expect to be a little disappointed as Nvidia jumped the gun and needed another generation to truly make RTX enticing. You pretty much have to use DLSS 2.0 to make it usable, otherwise, expect unplayable framerates or lowered settings. If you are really wanting an excellent ray tracing capable laptop, you'll have to wait until next year when the next generation of AMD and Nvidia cards become available in mobile form and likely have much better ray tracing performance. 8.) The speakers, while they can be cranked loud, sound tinny and have no bass and little midrange. I raised bass all the way to the top in the included Nahimic program and it kind of helps, but there's definitely something wrong with the design here. All the MSI marketing about "giant speakers" makes me disappointed by this second thought implementation. If you want good sound, hook up speakers, a HDMI display with sound or headphones. Overall, I'd recommend this laptop to anyone who wants to do some mobile PC gaming. It's durable and has great specs. The thermals are excellent for a laptop in this class, and it's an overall excellent value. Tips: 1.) The CPU in any gaming laptop, AMD or Intel, will add unnecessary heat, as usual the GPU is the bottleneck. Try disabling CPU boost mode, and tinker with it. You can use Intel's XTU or Throttlestop if you're an advanced user, or even easier, search in Google for, "Disable processor boost mode to prolong your battery life" and try "Disabled" mode or play with settings until you find a happy place between thermals and performance. Some games run fine with disabled turbo, some don't. 2.) The BIOS has an unclock mode to enable undervolting, overclocking, etc. Use with caution or not at all if you aren't very familiar with this. To enable it, press ALT + RIGHT-CTRL + SHIFT together then press F2 while in BIOS. This should enable the advanced mode. Again, be careful here. 3.) Make sure to update all the drivers, as out of the box they are a mix of late 2019 and early 2020. There are new drivers available for almost every component. You can either get them directly from Windows Update, MSI's website, or Intel.

NOT JUST FOR GAMING! [Read about Nahimic Audio interfering with UserBenchmark GPU test]
I bought this laptop for photo/4K video editing and music production. The price for the specs is crazy. If it's good for gaming, it's good for anything else. Likes: POWER. Scores high on benchmarks. Is fast and snappy in real use. I connected it to my 49" Samsung Q70R and it ran Death Stranding in 4K on max settings at 70 FPS with DLSS set on Performance. Yes, with V-Sync on, smooth 4K60 is possible on this laptop without turning down eye candy if the game supports DLSS. Without DLSS, it obviously becomes a slideshow, since 3840 x 2160 is a crazy resolution for a modern game even with an RTX 2080 Ti. At 1080p with DLSS set on Quality, FPS get as high as 130s. Dislikes: SCREEN. The black levels are abysmal. It's the worst laptop screen I've ever owned. I thought my 2018 Acer Predator Helios 300 was bad. The screen is so thin, just touching the lid shifts the black levels to a greenish hue, and positioning it also causes a shift. The colors are nice, though, and in other than dark scenes, it looks decent. It's not very bright, but it's plenty for daylight use with a window behind. Oh, it came with no dead pixels or bright spots, so that's good! Viewing angles aren't impressive, especially for an IPS panel. I'm so unhappy with the screen, I would return the laptop if it wasn't for the high value, for how gorgeous it looks and how compact it is. Keyboard looks better than it feels. Keys are tight, but could use a more clickety feeling. I'm not into the RGB craze, but I have to admit the light show looks beautiful. My favorite config is Roulette. Mentioning RGB, I built a Ryzen 9 3900X system months ago and the CPU came with an RGB fan. I was annoyed by it at first, but once I changed the stock light show, I can now appreciate how my case is accented. If you're anti-RGB like I was, this MSI laptop has some civilized light schemes. It's not retina-burning lighting. Give it a chance. Battery is just OK for portability when using it for normal tasks. You don't get a powerful gaming laptop with a hexacore i7 10750H and full RTX 2070 to play unplugged from the wall. Makes no sense. Build quality and fit and finish is very nice. It's a budget gaming laptop, but this isn't budget-feeling at all. You just get a plastic case, not machined aluminum. Software-wise, it comes with a Norton antivirus trial, which I promptly deleted. All the other apps are non-intrusive. Whatever bloatware it came with doesn't stick out, but I uninstalled them. I also uninstalled all the MSI apps to rule out any potential funky business/performance issues. It's my first MSI laptop and I highly recommend it. I will revise this review if something bad comes up. I enclosed a few benchmark scores. This thing has a lot of power. It could replace a desktop/tower PC. EDIT - The first thing I did with it was download UserBenchmark just to see how it compared to my Acer Predator Helios 300. The speakers would make a loud popping sound on the Sphere GPU test, invalidating the benchmark and not yielding results. That never happened to me before with my other computers, and made me suspect that it was audio-related, so I stopped and disabled the Nahimic service, and also uninstalled the Nahimic app. That solved the issue and I finally got all my scores.

Amazing Laptop for Price
With this laptop, you basically get what you pay for since wow, this thing is strong. Honestly not as heavy as I thought it'd be but that charger is definitely bigger than you think it'll be. As you can imagine, the battery life is subpar, you can do about two to three hours I'd say on a full charge, but I'm just guesstimating since I keep the laptop at the 50% mark in order to save long term battery life... a machine like this is meant to be plugged in, which is probably what you're here to read about. This thing runs like a beast, anything you throw at it, max settings easily and when you're plugged in, of course nothing to worry about... not plugged in if you adjusted it for that you can imagine the laptop lasting like 10 mins out. The laptop runs hot out of the box, but you just need to adjust the processor speed a bit in the settings. If you let the processor run at 99% you won't see a performance drop but your laptop is suddenly 20 C cooler, which is worth it. I also got a cooling pad because hey they don't run too expensive and they do help keep your laptop a bit elevated period to help with fans also. Anyways when I bought a laptop it was with the mindset of having portability to take this up easily enough as opposed to a whole tower and I don't mind being constantly plugged in because man, this laptop can give most desktops a run for their money. After a few minor adjustments when I first got it, I really have just been enjoying this, every game I throw at it gets handled with ease. Amazing gaming experience, and I can't wait to use this laptop for years to come.

JUST DO IT
I have been looking for a laptop for sometime now - roughly 6 years. I am upgrading from an i5 HP Desktop computer. Its trash, but you know what isn't trash? This awesome MSI laptop! I wanted a laptop that could handle long hours of gaming -Sims 4, House Flipper, Diablo, etc. I'm not into any PVP really so I can't speak to those games, but I have been playing Persona 4 Golden for over 30 hours and the game is beautiful. Runs smoothly, image looks beautiful, and I don't worry about the laptop overheating. I used a cooling tray with the laptop for extra cooling but the laptop cools really well on its own to begin with. The keyboard is great and I actually find myself typing better than on past laptops. The keyboard colors are even better. I NEVER wanted MSI stuff in the past because their color is red. I don't want red lights all over my computer and I almost skipped this over because I didn't think they'd ever change from red to rainbow! Well my little gay heart is so happy with this keyboard and all the fun color customization it can do! One last thing that I really liked about this laptop is the lack of bloatware! I only had to remove some lame Microsoft Office files and everything else was legit! When buying my HP in the past it was LOADED with garbage programs. MSI did not do this. Thank you, MSI for being more consumer friendly. If I had ANY complaints, here they are: (1) I have a couple dead pixels on my screen. If I'm paying about $1500 for a laptop, I am expecting a pristine screen - I did not get this. However, the pixels are near where the taskbar is and if I change my theme to something dark the pixels are barely noticeable. I'm too easy going to return this and start fresh with a new laptop, so I have made my peace. (2) The volume - the computer has decent sound, until the jet engines start and the laptop starts to enter the outer atmosphere.... or at least thats what it sounds like! Honestly, pop in some headphones and you are fine, but otherwise the computer is loud when the fans are on. Still: loud fans > overheated laptop, so again, not a major complaint. (3) The brightness is too much for me. I suffer from light sensitivity and I can only use this laptop on the DIMMEST setting and it still feels TOO bright. My former laptop was not visible on the dimmest setting, so I was hoping this one was the same deal. Nope. (4) The DELETE key is not above the backspace key.....come on, why do I need the pause break key where delete used to be? So as you will see, my complaints are super minimal. If you are even considering buying this laptop, in the words of Shia LaBeouf, JUST DO IT. Its awesome and you will not regret it. P.S. Learned about a free program called Dimmer that can help with the brightness, so looks like this isn't even that much of an issue anymore!

INCREDIBLE COMPUTER AND INCREDIBLE PRICE
Ok, were do I start, i7 and 2070, I don’t think I need to say anything. Straight 144 frames all games. INCREDIBLE PRICE, I don’t know if you have seen the market for laptops right now but if you have $2500 AUD for a 2070 gaming laptop is cheep as, normally it’s like $3500 AUD. Nothing to be said, get it while you can

Excelente
Al mes de uso funciona perfecto, probando varios juegos AAA recientes no llega a calentarse más de 70c en calidades high a ultra y en 1080p, y no es necesario el turbo de los ventiladores que si son muy ruidosos,

Pretty pleased with it !
This might not be the highest end of the gaming laptop, but this thing is so POWERFULL. I'm usually a console gamer (very light let's say), but tried Warzone on this machine and I'm starting to believe those who said it's better to game on a PC, oops. I don't have much hour on the laptop, but at the first sight : Cons : The fan.. omg. Like other said it's the price to pay for the GPU, but I tought I started flight simulator with that noise (kidding!). Good news is : most of the time I'm working with a remote connection and fans are off which is awesome. Also, the HDD.. really ? Not even a TB ? Pros : Very compact, the screen is awesome and the keybord just the right size (red some complain about it). Speakers are OK also, lack of base but that's always like that. The price, try to have 2070 on a decent laptop, this is 2 to 3 hundred more easily, that's why you can sacrifice the HDD ;-) Thank you Amazon and MSI, hope it will be reliable now !

Get the game on
this is my best order ever. It was the best deal. The device is capable to run many games on ultra setting wihtout issue. The keyboard is good . The secreen is amazing. I didn't like the audio and USB port is on the mouse side. Thanks amazon... really good deal for my budget
