I am so glad I made this purchase. I wasn't comfortable building myself and this was the next best thing. My primary need was for photography editing. On my old laptop, Lightroom AI Denoise took 3 minutes per photo and this computer does it in 8 seconds. The computer was packed extremely well and arrived completely undamaged. There are just a few small issues to be aware of.
1. The DDR5 RAM is 6000mHz, but set to run at only 4800mHz out of the box. You have to enable XMP in the BIOS and manually set the RAM speed. Easy to do, but I had to research it and figure it all out on my own. Made a difference in system speed.
2. The fans are very quiet, but when they speed up there is a bit of a high pitched hum. Not bad at all, just something to note.
3. MSI Mystic Light software wasn't working out of the box to control the RGB. It took a lot of research, trial and error, and Reddit to figure it all out.
4. There is no manual. You have to figure out all the case functions on your own.
5. There is an out of place wire going from the cooler over the RAM sticks. I could open up the case and fix it, but don't want to risk messing anything up.
6. There is a 24H2 Windows Update that won't work. Probably a Microsoft problem, but I haven't been able to fix it.
7. Didn't like the MSI AI software. It is off out of the box. Tried it for a while and turned it off. Didn't see any improvement with it on.
Overall, very satisfied. Fortnite runs 200 FPS at 4K high settings and 300 FPS at 1440p. Smooth as can be. Looks beautiful, runs well, and was a good price.
I would recommend this to a friend
