Quality

The computer is well-designed and well-constructed and i believe that it will last for a long time.

Really good quality and so fast screen

Running timespy and the cpu test performance line was all over the place and it throttled routinely while running that too.

The memory is single rank, ridiculously slow and has the worst latency i've ever encountered in ddr4 memory anywhere.

Price

For $1100 this is a super good deal.

For $1099 bucks on sale it was an excellent buy.

00, this is no mean purchase but i think the price is fair for what you get.

I got this on sale for roughly 1150$ before tax.

Shipping

This laptop came super quick and was packaged very nicely.

Competitiveness

It is probably more expensive that others, but the 3070 and the cpu in this laptop are super solid.

This is the first laptop i've owned with a separate video card and the nvidia rtx 3070 is one the best ones available for a laptop today.

I had read that it is difficult (possibly not even recommended) to convert msi computers to linux.

Pros:very fast, runs new games at ultra with no problemstyling, i like it but that's subjectivecompact for a laptop with this p... Read More
