I upgraded from lego. Its double in performance and battery. Perfect display 8 inch 120hz. Spekers are swesome. Easily getting 60+ fps in all games in higher graphic setting. Little pricey but worth every penny. Love it

Great, but not worth the $1k price point
Great screen, great performance, great sound, great ergonomics. Play GoW-R and HFW buttery smooth at medium with quality upscaling. However, the MSI software leaves room for improvement and its cluncky and not particularly user friendly. But having had MSI laptops and motherboards before, i knew to expect that. The device is also quite heavy, getting close to uncomfortably heavy. Still on the fence on if i will be keeping it.
