Pros: This is a great looking laptop with screaming fast specs. MSI kept their utilities useful but unobtrusive except for a monthly small ad popup I have figured out how to squish yet. The sound system is amazing. I have never heard such great sound from a small sound bar like this before. The SteelSeries keyboard is top notch and the LED backlighting is fully configurable from gaudy to off. I prefer a subtle red sweep of lights across the board. Windows 10 is well... Windows 10. I chose to use Tron script to shut down all the data being fed back to Microsoft. All the latest games run at ultra settings and the screen makes my jaw drop now and then. It is that good. I have built PCs since the early 80s and this one is hands down my favorite.
Cons: The plastic screw down points holding the metal cover to the plastic frame are weak. Mine broke after normal usage. It split along the left side of the screen. This was about 6 months after purchase. Newegg sent me to MSI. MSI took 2 weeks total roundtrip time to repair it and I paid shipping one way. If they just replaced the plastic frame it will probably break again. SteelSeries utility often auto updates and loses connection to this MSI version of their keyboard. I usually uninstall and clean install to get it working.
Overall Review: Final edit of this review after 6 months owning it: My case split due to a bad design with plastic screw down points. My RAID Boot volume crashed when one of the SSDs failed. I have lost an entire month of use due to RMAs. MSI is now backpedaling saying that they will not honor their marketing that stated this laptop can have graphics card upgrades for 2 generation. Now it is NOT upgradeable! And they are offering some type of trade-in that will cost me another $1,000! That was the reason I paid extra for this laptop. Checkout the pending class action on the notebookreviews forums. Just don't buy MSI. Learn from my experience and financial loss.
