Great value. You can't find anything like this for the price. The design aesthetics is very unique. Unlike other MSI devices, this one doesn't scream 'colors' which is appropriate for work.

I ordered this as a college laptop. I was trying to get away from my bulky desktop, and since I'm going to be taking this thing everywhere, I needed it to be small and light, and boy, is it both of those things. This thing feels like a frisbee, and the 14 inch form is a good compromise between 13 inches (too small for my taste), and 15 inches (where things usually get a lot bulkier). The 1050 in it sold the deal; I've got a 1060 in my desktop, and the fact that this thing is power-wise almost on par with my desktop is amazing. My only complaint would be the way this thing is put together; I wanted to swap the SSD for a larger one, but all of the parts are on the underside of the motherboard from a video of disassembling this thing I watched, meaning you're going to need some decent tech knowledge and some patience with very small cables if you want to swap any parts in this (I wouldn't risk it otherwise, it looks like you'd need to take apart a good portion of the computer). If you're looking to get as much power as you can without going up to 15 inches and sacrificing size and weight, this is the best option.

Came into Best Buy today with the intentions of picking up my first Mac Book Pro. I was hesitant due to being a proficient windows user and Ive never messed with the Mac cult, I meant OS. Anyway, the geek squad was extremely helpful in helping me weigh the pros and cons and i ended up looking at this. At first glance, it looks small and under powered. The combination of an i7 processor with 16gb or ram and the 256 ssd make this PC and absolute dream. Its light, powerful and has handled everything I've thrown at it so far. A+!!!

Bought this pc for my office manager who runs our shipping and receiving and also does some photoshop on it, so far it handles anything she can throw at it, we save the big stuff for the GS75 Stealth we just bought. The pc was the most affordable pc we could find at the store with a dedicated graphics card that was atleast a 10 series Nvidia GPU. If you got the extra cash to spend, I would recommend going up to the P63 or the GS65 for a better processor and gpu, However at the time of writing this review, $1500-2000 for those other models, may be a stretch for you... If you can cover the difference, Just go for one of them, you won't regret it! As it stands this laptop is a great budget-friendly laptop at $1200 and hands down would compete with any Macbook, Macbook Air, or MS Surface book due to the built-in GPU. It will slay most graphics tasks a day to day user can throw at it, and I'm sure handle some light gaming on it, however have not tried it!

When I was looking for a laptop I specifically wanted something very powerful but also very light so that I wouldn't be carrying around a brick at university. This little computer has far exceeded my expectations. It's even lighter than you'd think, and it runs games and photoshop like a dream. It's quick and quiet, the screen is obviously very small but I plug it into a 27" monitor when I'm at home. I would definitely recommend to students who want a lighter gaming equivalent, it only has two usb slots though so you'll have to buy a usb hub if you have more that that to plug in.
