Excellent laptop for $3799
Screen is phenomenal. It still has true blacks despite not being a traditional OLED. The specs for the price of $3799 was a no brainer with the 5090, intel ultra 9 and 64GB of ram in the current AI climate where RAM has skyrocketed in price. Keyboard is great, trackpad is gigantic. It’s a little heavy for the size, but is build incredibly well. Only problem is Best Buy’s refusal to keep it at a $3999 price point even though that is MSI’s msrp.
