Gaming system
Upgrading from a Gigabyte G5 with the 3060 and i5 10H, this is a massive improvement for those who want more horsepower from a similar foot print. The screen is pretty and colorful out of the box, will calibrate since its a bit blue for my taste but Ill see what the spectrometer says. Performance, not bad at all. Its snappy and loads everything I need to but faster. For 5lbs its dimensionally the same as the Gigabyte but the main thing I like about this design is when Im at a hotel the exhaust port doesnt burn my hand while gaming. Kudos MSI. Exhaust should be in the rear not the sides like others do.
with its hardware spec at the price, it is a steal. it runs all my 3A games smoothly. i also love its beautiful and elegant design.
- Integrated GPU Mode (meaning when not gaming I can switch to integrated GPU mode which extends battery life and less of a resource hog). - I like the options of being able to turn on the cooler boost with shortcuts.

I've had no issues after using it daily for 3 months. Sometimes I shut it down, sometimes sleep, sometimes hybernate, and sometimes I'll forget and just leave it on overnight. The start up time from full power off is <15 seconds even with Fast Boot disabled in Windows which is simply amazing to me. I have two monitors plugged in to a DisplayLink dock which is then plugged into the Thunderbolt port, and then I have my gaming monitor plugged into the HDMI port. By doing this I can run the extra two monitors and Youtube/etc off the integrated Arc graphics on the CPU, and my gaming monitor runs off the dedicated RTX 4070. I also use the Copilot feature a lot for summarizing what would take me hours of reading forums and Reddit and comments and research, which I find extremely convenient and useful. I'm currently playing Doom (2016), CS2, Stalker 2, Jedi Survivor and Star Wars Outlaws on high settings 1440p, ray tracing if available, frame gen off, and DLSS quality and having a great time. 32gb of ram is plenty for gaming and leaving an app or two open on 2nd monitor, ram is not soldered so can be upgraded, and there are multiple NVME slots for storage upgrades as well.
Fast, Big Screen, Easy to Use
Super bright screen. It Handles every game Ive thrown at it on high to ultra settings, and with DLSS and Frame Gen turned on, its even smoother. The RGB keyboard and back lights looks so awesome kind of like sports car tail lights. Fans keep it cool Ive never seen it get to 70°C.
Great gaming PC! It's a major upgrade from his old gaming laptop from 4-5 years ago. He likes how fast everything loads and plays every game. Downloading new games is really fast.
There is an issue with the Newegg listing: it says the screen is FHD+, but it actually is QHD+ with a 240 Hz refresh rate, which is good overall. However, you need to upgrade the RAM from 2×8 GB to 2×16 GB or higher, and add one more SSD (there is only one extra slot available for an additional SSD).
4k Mini-LED display is stunning Keyboard is excellent and the dedicated numpad is a plus for productivity
First thing I noticed was the lighting surrounding the keys. Very nice feature. Different colors are on incorporated. Very useful when room is darkened. Keys are still very visible.
Easy upgradability is major Comes with an extra m.2 slot Ram/battery/gpu/cpu is easily removable
Super fast, lightweight laptop with outstanding graphics. Large touch pad is easy to use. USB3 ports and a HDMI also. Latest wifi is blazing fast.
