Good performance for the price
I have a ROG Scar 18 with the 4090 and I bought this little guy for my son lol. The performance difference between the 13980 / 4090 that my Scar has and this 13950 / 4080 are almost unnoticeable in games. What is noticeable you ask? The price. My Scar cost $4200 and I got this for my sons birthday on sale for $1900... After playing on his laptop a bit I believe I made a mistake with my Scar lol.

MSI Vector GP68HX review
The laptop is heavier than I expected and the fans are noisy. Aside from that, this is a good laptop.

Still gaming.
Works well. Been pounding out a gamers use and is holding out well. A couple dead pixels, but only if you look for them
