Overall Review: It's been 4 years since I upgraded my laptop. This is the best price-to-performance ratio one can find in a laptop today. I was blown away when I realized this had a GeForce 5080 + Thunderbolt 5 + QHD-Plus screen + Core Ultra 9 processor, for just $2500. There's no other comparable laptop at this price that I can find anywhere, and I did a lot of searching. I can't believe it when someone said this laptop was originally $2199 before tariffs 🤯. Regardless, you still can't beat this price. Bottom line is I feel I got a good deal. I actually thought they mis-priced it because their weaker 5070ti model was $250 more. Maybe they've fixed that since. - PERFORMANCE - The laptop is quick and responsive. Much faster than my top-of-the-line laptop from 4 years ago. It's a noticeable improvement. I use an eGPU (Razer Core Chroma) with an external 4070 ti (because it's more powerful than the internal 5080 of this laptop) and I instantly noticed a speed boost in my games, even though this was the exact same external GPU that I had used with my previous laptop. The specs of the MSI laptop are just faster all around. Faster CPU. Faster memory. Faster Thunderbolt 5 (although I can't measure how much that helps on a TB4 device, if at all). It's really nice to have TWO Thunderbolt 5 ports. This future-proofs the laptop. I will be ready to buy new TB5 eGPUs later this year when they hit the market. Until then I am happy with the performance boost I am already getting. - THE SCREEN - The screen is good but it's not OLED. The blacks could be darker (compared my my OLED laptop it can't compete in this regard). If I could upgrade anything it would be to OLED, but I know that would cost more and the price point is part of the magic of this laptop. Plus, I don't usually use the laptop screen. I use dual 4k monitors 95% of the time. In my opinion, 4k resolution is a waste in a 16" laptop. You can't see the pixels because they are so small and you need to scale up everything to be able to read anything, anyway. This MSI laptop's screen is "QHD-Plus" (2560 x 1600) and it is an absolutely perfect resolution for this size screen, imo. The laptop screen (QHD-Plus) (2560 x 1600) is actually a little taller than usual, given it is 16:10 instad of 16:9. I REALLY like that. This ratio difference translates to about 3/4" taller, which is actually very practical for web browsing and that extra screen real estate goes a long way. Be aware that the slightly taller screen results in a slightly deeper laptop (from the front to the back of the laptop). Overall, it's about 1" deeper in depth of the overall laptop compared with a standard 16:9 laptop. - FAN VOLUME - The CPU fan is noisy. This is a con, but I plan to undervolt the CPU to see if I can cool it off. I'm reading in the MSI forums that people are having good success with this. ----- Notes: I ran into an issue installing a new 2TB NVME SSD as my boot drive. Windows 11 setup would not recognize the drive, but it was resolved by using the driver from MSI's website during setup. I find that the MSI forum is really useful and it's a good idea to sign up there and ask any questions you might have. I also had good luck using AI (Grok) to help me resolve a question I had. Just some tips. Overall, I am very happy with this laptop and I think it will serve me for years to come. NewEgg shipped super fast, too. I was very impressed with that.

Pros: Not much good to say here. It's cheap cost is not even worth the quality of picture it takes.

Cons: My iphone 4S takes better photos than this camera

Overall Review: It looks like a DSLR,which is why I bought it. It is not. It is just a regular digital camera which a high megapixels (which really just looks like a low quality image blown up to fill a large amount of megapixels-- very blurry and non-detailed photos)
