After 4 months of consistent everyday use I can say that the performance is ... good, I normally play Marvel Rivals and am more than happy with performance in that game and others.
HOWEVER, the keyboard on this laptop, specifically the spacebar is terrible. Numerous missed spacebar registrations make typing on this keyboard unbearable. Thankfully I use a dual monitor setup with an external keyboard but as I type this review it's taking me more than twice as long as it should.
As said before, performance is good but it comes with caveats. Noise is louder and more high pitched than similarly priced laptops without giving much benefit. CPU gets HOT. In some games I notice CPU temps at 95 degrees with the GPU hovering around 70-75 degrees which is acceptable.
NO REAL PERFORMANCE TWEAKING AVAILABLE. Other then "Extreme Performance" mode and GPU clocks which funny enough makes some games run worse (which I never experienced on RTX 3080 desktop). There are some 3rd party software options out there that I used that helped A LOT but if youre not tech savvy it can be a pain to figure that all out.
Battery life okay at best. Nothing like a macbook. I get about 4-5 hours with normal use and half screen brightness scrolling through the internet and watching videos.
The screen is awesome at least even at 1200p. I don't really miss having an OLED display and it gets pretty bright with great color accuracy.
This laptop is good. Use an external keyboard. That's about it. Get it at a steep discount and you'll be happy.

I bought this laptop for work. I am not a gamer but I am a creator and use memory heavy applications on a daily basis. There is no lag and the graphics are amazing. Highly recommend this laptop to anyone looking to enhance their productivity. The laptop fits great in my bag and is easy to transport. The look and construction of the laptop are amazing as well. The blue color and optional RGB lighting make it look sleek and modern. The laptop feels and looks very high quality. I think the price was great and overall I am very happy with my purchase.

This laptop has been great for gaming and working on-the-go as well. I have a Alienware desktop with a 4090 as well and this laptop plays all of the same games at a relatively comparable level. As far as design it is very sleek and looks incredible in person.
My only concern since purchase has been that the bottom does get relatively hot, but as long as the laptop is on a solid surface and the fans can breathe, it hasn't been an issue.

Works. Gets hot. Of course. Hasnt died yet. I like it. Dont drop it on your foot (I haven’t, its just heavy so I recommend not doing that.)
If you play games it dies quicker. Of course. Otherwise it lasts quite a long time. I like it.
I dont know anything about displays. If it is too crisp it hurts my eyes. This one is fine on my eyes. Interpret that as you will.

I can play games much better with artificial intelligence. It is really a great computer. No heating. No freezing. It is a complete gaming computer. I recommend everyone to buy it.

I returned a ASUS M16 that had heating issues for this one. Never had a MSI before and I am very happy with the purchase. I was looking for something semi-portable that could replace my desktop and so far so good. The screen is nice and bright and the 4070 does a good job with some of the games I've tried.

Imaging Apps can’t see this SSD

Recovery Image FYI:
Tried booting to thumb drive to take a disc image of this drive. Tried 3 different apps. Nothing can see the SSD to image it. Have 3 techs looking at it and haven’t solved it. Disabled Bitlocker & Secure boot. Didn’t help.
MSI has seen the issue on Windows installs and has special drivers, but only for Windows ( most imaging apps boot a Linux version).
Might be able to get around it by making a windows boot disk & installing the drivers, but I’ll need a different imaging app.
Creating a virtual OS might work, but then I’ll need to run a hypervisor (don’t really want) and that’s assuming the HV can see the SSD … not super confident of that

It is a good portable laptop, the keyboard feels fine to use, the trackpad is pretty nice and big, the screen refresh rate is good the quality color of the color is as good as it said FHD+ could be better, the battery last about ~4 hours on battery saving mode while using continuously the heat of course does get pretty hot around 60-70 C.
Overall is a decent computer that should last for the next foreseeable future

I've had the laptop for about 3 weeks and I'm happy with my purchase. I play games and do 3D modeling. I haven't had any issues with it's capabilities. My only concern is that sometimes the keys don't register when being pushed the first time. All in all solid 8/10
