Great little Ultrabook
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.So far I have only had this laptop for a few days but I have very good impressions so far. For the price I paid, this laptop is excellent. The Core i-7 Processor is quite fast. I have a couple of older desktop NUC systems running quad core i-5 processors and this laptop is easily about 50% faster. The graphics performance is probably double what those older NUC systems can do. I've installed all my games and programming tools. I pulled down a rather large project from GitHub and built it with no problems. Side-by-side with my older work laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad P1) which is double the price and a much more powerful 6 core Intel CPU, this laptop feels subjectively much, much faster. Partly because our IT department pollutes the build with invasive software like Crowdstrike, but also partly because the 11th gen Core CPUs are much much better than 9th gen. I included some Geekbench 5 comparison numbers between my older desktop NUC i5 system and this laptop. It's not even close. Pros: 16 GB and 1 TB drive are great. Decent build quality for the price. Fast CPU for an ultrabook. Display is not glossy! (no reflections) Boot and restart times are nothing short of amazing. Can play some light games with ease. (League of Legends, Company of Heroes 2, Rocket League didn't cause significant fan noise) Size and weight are amazing. Two thuderbolt 4 ports! Cons: Keyboard isn't up to Thinkpad quality. It's not terrible, just not great. Pre-installed anti-virus software causes laggy behavior in many applications. MSI chose to use a PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive instead of PCIe 4.0 which means slower than it could have been. But still pretty fast. Display could be a little bit better. A single USB 2.0 (2.0!) plug.

Quality Ultrabook
|Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.I bought this device months ago when it was on sale for $899. At that price it was a no-brainer. After using it for a while I am more than satisfied with the performance and portability. Fans can get a little noisy, but that is manageable in the included MSI app. Nice little machine.
