Manufacturing error but second try is the charm!
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.My original order came in timely but there was a manufacturing error. The screen was squished and the backlight was showing on the corner of my screen. The trackpad was also installed crooked so it was constantly clicking and was not functional. I returned my original order and was able to place a new order with no hassle. My second try laptop is awesome! I bought it as a beginner gaming laptop and for watching movies and personal work. It’s been a champ, processing speed is fast but battery life only lasts for a few hours. Still happy about this purchase.

Great laptop!!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This laptop is amazing and was in my budget range (under $1000). It can successfully run beefy games, such as: FF14, phasmophobia, valheim and more. The fans only get loud when I play phasmophobia but immediately become quiet again when I close phasmophobia. The storage could be better and so could the battery life when unplugged but everything else is great. Also this was the only cheap white laptop I found. I hate the red and black look so this was perfect.

Good product worth upgrade - tech support not good
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I really like this laptop especially after upgrading the RAM to 2 x 16GB DIMMs and replacing the basic 512GB HD chip with a 1 TB pro all from Amazon for around $200. Not a gamer so I can’t attest to the FPS or what games run best but this is a beast for my office workstation that should be able to handle anything thrown at it for the next 5+ years. I had purchased another more powerful laptop but when they did the discount week on this model I jumped because the other laptop was just a Ferrari sitting in rush hour traffic. I also saved $800 between the 2. My only con so far has been the response of MSI support. My 9 key came off of the number pad and they gave me a USA number to call for parts. No response yet. Then my original HD burnt up and I already had the 1 TB to replace and just did a fresh install of Win 10 and tech support said I had to ship the whole laptop back and would not just replace the chip. I will still give the system a solid buy.

Best laptop I've ever had.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Best laptop I've ever had. It might feels like it overheats, because the cooler extraction is right above your hands, but I've realized it's nothing to worry about. It's perfect to work and runs every game I've thrown at it smoothly.

great laptop
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I absolutely love this laptop. I have had it now for a couple of weeks and I ran into one issue. The first day of my classes it wouldn't turn on. Go figure. My husband opened it and determined it had to do with the battery. He was able to get it turned on, thankfully, and it's been working fine ever since. Other than that hiccup, it's a great laptop. I love how the keyboard lights up and the screen has great resolution. Unfortunately, I had to take a star away for the battery complication, otherwise I love this laptop!

Q: QuestionDoes the USB C port support displayport and PD charging?
Asked by rav4ishing.
- A:Answer Nope its a high speed data port HDMI only or wifi link for video. You might be able to hook a USB hub up with HDMI but zero guarantee at work and you can charge anything with any port just be in mind that nothing will put out more then 7v and will not charge anything very well.
Answered by Tanner
