Was daughter's Christmas present. She was due a new laptop. Old one was a Ryzen 5600h/rtx 3050. Quite pleased with the performance. Runs pretty cool, but i kinda wish the cooler was the dual fan one that MSi uses in their bigger laptops. Good looking , 144hz monitor is a real plus for an 800 dollar laptop. The rtx 4050 in this is noticeably more powerful than the rtx 3050 in the old one. Build quality is excellent. Odd that it came with a WD nvme instead of an MSi one. Most of the MSi OEM stuff I've bought lately has had their brand of storage. I'd have liked a heatsink on the ssd, but i can add that myself sooner or later when i do a storage and memory upgrade. Comes apart super easy. My favorite thing about MSi laptops is how easy they are to take apart and repair. They are put together more logically than many other brands.

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).
