Very fast, very cool
I love it. MSI has finally figured out how to keep a high-performance laptop nice and cool. I will say this - it’s LOUD. Louder than any other laptop I’ve ever had. But it’s only white noise that’s indiscernible when you’re gaming at a medium volume. Can’t speak for durability, haven’t had it long enough. But right out of the box this is a beast.
