If you wanted a Laptop that can run games and also be used for work/school simultaneously. This would be perfect! The visual touches with the light bar and keys is amazing and really sets a good mood. My only gripe is it gets hot pretty quickly but a good laptop shelf will help with that easy and decent air flow. If you are aware of the warranty, the hinge for the screen broke at one point and luckily MSI was very quick and responsive and punctual with service!

Stunning laptop with excellent gaming performance! Initially I had a few BSOD incidents. Since I didnt have it long or have much installed on it, I decided to just do full reformat and reload. Since doing that, no more BSOD issues.
I recently installed a 2nd 1TB SSD in it, very easy to do, there are youtube videos on how to do it. Very pleased with the performance of this laptop it handles any game I want to play with it. My only gripe is the speakers don't sound that good. My 5 year old HP sounds way better for laptop speakers, but cant have it all I guess. Just hook up some external speakers of your choice and problem solved. Excellent price for what you get.
(32GB Ram, 1TB SSD, 2070 Super, 240hz refresh rate screen, and Intel i7 cpu.) I also noticed I can play games on this that leave me feeling sick to my stomach when playing them on the desk top computer. (First person shooter games make me sick when using my desktop with 4K monitors, but I'm ok on this laptop.)

This laptop is fantastic for all my games! I have had no issues running all my games on Ultra! The only things I can really complain about is it heats up really hot (that's a normal thing for gaming laptops) and I wish that my screen was bigger. Other than those, this laptop is Beautiful!!!!!

I was looking for a gaming laptop around $2000 and this one popped up and for the bill nicely. I had been eyeing another MSI model but saw this one at my local store with the aurora lights but it was a little over my budget. Finally, the day I was shopping I was lucky enough to come across this guy on sale for $1700 and purchased it right away. Plays any and all games I've thrown at it no issues. Great powerhouse for a decent amount of money (what gaming laptop isn't expensive amirite). And the RGB customization satisfies the inner geek in me like no other.

Very good laptop for gaming and anything else you need it to do. I've played rust, rainbow six siege, and many other games with no problems. It does get a little hot when running games.

Good looking laptop with nice features, but a little more bulky than I anticipated. I ended up returning and getting a Razer Blade 15.

Love this laptop! I’ve been wanting a gaming one & I was excited when this one was back in stock. Love the rgb lights but I have yet to figure out how to change the lighting scheme (not really sure if I can.)
The quieter fans are also a plus.

The computer has very good specs but there where problems with the image, thankfully I pitches the insurance to get it fixed but who knows maybe I will have to search for a new computer. On the hope that this only happened to me I will give it a solid 4.
