4.0 out of 5 stars Avoid, terrible product, design issues - Unreliable, not working after 2 months
By M
It can perform well, depending on your setup, but some stuttering. May update this later if it improves on the initial performance.A lot of bloatware, but performs well enough after the updates.Don't open too many tabs on your browser lolEdit: Stopped working, contacting MSI support - depending on how they handle this... so far not very impressed with MSI. May have to further reduce my rating, what a shame, I wasted my money.Update: They repaired it, no indication on root cause of hardware failure, or any indication that this product is reliable. I was forced to buy a different device since I cannot rely on this one.Update 2: The repaired device is working more like I expect it to, not sure what was going on in the beginning, but I really hope it continues to work properly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly, although not perfect.

Fantastic machine with just a couple problems. 1) VMWare workstation Pro - I have to run a Powershell script to turn off some Windows energy feature messing with the VMWare exe. and 2) In my virtual machines, in Teams, the camera has a hard time connecting, although it eventually does. That said, this laptop is top of the line. Awesome. I love it. I use this machine for work where I program industrial equipment. The speed and screen size are both awesome which results in higher productivity for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good laptop

Delivery is ground so it is slow. The laptop is great and double boxed so porch pirates have no idea what it is.
