Pros: Fast performance overall, can natively drive my 8k TV, although it struggles just a bit with that. Point is up to 8k is serviceable out of the box. Gpu performs better than my older laptop with MX150. Easily shrank windows drive to enable dual boot with Linux and to have a separate data drive for holding .vhd so that I could run win7 backup, then close the vhd and copy it off to network drive. Linux is fast and works great with it, too. For $429 + tax, not sure what more I could ask for?!

Cons: Although you can upgrade ssd and wifi and replace battery, you can't increase memory :( ...at least not until someone produces a thunderbolt 4 external memory expansion controller. Screen is same height as my 15 inch 16x9 laptop, but about 2 inches narrower. Not a problem as a media or browsing consumer, but hurts a little when playing home sys-admin ;) solution, of course, is to connect external monitor or TV when really need more screen. Not a touch screen, and not matte finish on screen, although it's only noticeably reflective in sunshine. One last note..Care Center is the app that can limit battery charging to 80%, to extend battery life, but it needs a background service running to work. That service is not running when you get the laptop. You need to Google for how to configure task scheduler to start care center service on startup, and follow instructions to fix.

Overall Review: Best bang for buck in Aug 2022, and an all-around great product, and I am a demanding nerd with computer engineering degree and 30 years IT experience....

Overall Review: Max of 30MB/s, average 10MB/s on a brand new PC with usb4. I expected closer to 100MB/s, but not happening

Pros: - without effort or tuning, 4 sticks run just fine

Cons: - 8GB, even with 4 sticks total is baseline capacity anymore...i got 2 sticks in a bundle, so I just bought 2 more...if not in a bundle, I would not buy smaller than 16GB sticks

Overall Review: - I would recommend...fine product

Pros: - worked out of the box on an asus motherboard whose bios i had not updated in 4 years!!! - for single user desktop, just fine - I bought a combo that came with memory, which was a great deal

Cons: - nothing to complain about...it is EXACTLY what you expect it to be for a 3-4 year old processor core...makes an spare motherboard useful

Overall Review: - recommended

Pros: Plug it in and it does what it's supposed to...provides power protection

Cons: Fair warning...it has a 120V20A plug on it which will require a 120V 20A circuit in your house. That's 12 gauge wire or bigger not 14 gauge or smaller and it requires a special reception in the wall.

Overall Review: I'm using this for an AI system with a 1600W Power Supply and 2x 5090 in it, and they run at full power just fine using vllm. Works great...does it's job.

Pros: Flawless power for 2x 5090 in 1 case

Cons: None, but MSI, if you're reading this...please build a version with built-in UPS capability? Since this is already a specialty part...why convert AC to DC (UPS) to AC to DC (PSU) to power a big computer?! Just add the DC battery backup circuitry all in one?...

Overall Review: Definitely recommend this for dual-GPU (ESPECIALLY dual 5090). Although this will run on a standard 15A,120V circuit, with dual 5090, a 1500VA/900W UPS is not enough...vllm at peak load couldn't draw enough power... so had to wire a 20A dedicated circuit and buy a 2200VA/1600W UPS to feed this, to feed the 5090's. Keep this in mind as a cautionary tale...there's NOTHING wrong with this PSU...it is fantastic! ...but if you need this, you probably need a new, big, expensive UPS, too.
