Pros: One of the highest-performing laptops in terms of individual and combined component loads (i.e. CPU power, GPU power, and CPU + GPU power). The additional cooling pipes should be default in all MSI models to keep the intel 12th gen chips running at full wattage. Full keyboard with 10-key, including full-size arrow keys.

Cons: Keyboard lighting is significantly dimmer than expected with the exception of the default orange color when pressing the 'FN' key. Can that brightness be applied to all colors? Large enough for the cherry MX keyboard keys, but this 'board was not an option.

Overall Review: Yes. The best sustained CPU + GPU performance, a fast 1440p display w/3 ms response time, a good keyboard, and a good cooling system. Always down for keyboard improvements and more dedicated CPU cooling. The 12800HX is phenomenal for editing, and/or gaming if you disable the efficiency cores and OC the performance cores. During combined loads, you get the advertised 75W of CPU power and 150W of GPU power. The screen is crisp, and fast. I'm set for at least 5 years; my upgrade may be more storage or memory at some point in the future.
