Perfect price vs performance
Solid quality. I've been an MSI user for 8 years now and I have never been disappointed, with the caveat that one must be aware of the pros and cons of each product. No perfect item exists, but MSI delivers.
This particular laptop is a perfect balance of price vs features. Solid materials, stable OS, minimal bloatware. Not the latest specs but it will still run everything gaming and creativity. Screen resolution is low but perfectly adequate for the setup.
One star off for the UNGODLY BRICK of a power supply. Just why?! It is heavier than the laptop, and it's just ridiculous.

Eh
I absolutely loved this laptop, but unfortunately was limited to constantly being next to an outlet. I had nothing but a Word Doc open while in class, no other tabs or programs open, and watched the battery life decrease by 2% a minute. Not even moving the mouse, let alone typing. The graphics card is very powerful, but it’s too expensive to have that type of battery life.
It’s also pretty heavy

Great but not perfect
It's a beast of a machine. I'm not into ultra thin or light laptops so I will gladly trade that off for good cooling, ease of access to upgrade ram and hd etc... The only negatives are Windows 11 because it's buggy and is still awhile from prime time, it should still be in beta honestly. The other is battery life, this is power hungry. Simple tasks without using the 3070ti you might get 1.5 - 2 hr, gaming... 30 minutes, maybe. The screen could be brighter as well but it's ok I guess.
