Review: Cool
Review: Product has been a nightmare to deal with. Since the day I purchased this laptop I was so excited to utilize its power and expect nothing but lightning fast load times, zero crashes, and no problems. Since I bought this laptop I have had nothing but problems. I have been a loyal MSI customer since the I first had the first MSI 1070 raider laptop and upwards and on. But this is the now second product I have bought with issues. Games are crashing because of faulty GPU, despite drivers and everything updated. Incredibly painful slow load times and even navigating the PC settings or UI it takes forever to load a menu or icons or etc. Bloatware was removed and still the computer is slow. Random crashes when surfing the web or doing something that is not at all demanding on the PC. Crashing, slow as as a snail load times and sluggish and slow computer in general despite having an I9 CPU. I willnever buy MSI garbage again. Avoid this laptop and MSI products like the plague. MANY MANY forums and users and etc explain how bad MSI quality has gotten and how many products have constant issues

It can perform well, depending on your setup, but some stuttering. May update this later if it improves on the initial performance. A lot of bloatware, but performs well enough after the updates. Don't open too many tabs on your browser lol Edit: Stopped working, contacting MSI support - depending on how they handle this... so far not very impressed with MSI. May have to further reduce my rating, what a shame, I wasted my money. Update: They repaired it, no indication on root cause of hardware failure, or any indication that this product is reliable. I was forced to buy a different device since I cannot rely on this one. Update 2: The repaired device is working more like I expect it to, not sure what was going on in the beginning, but I really hope it continues to work properly.
