    Good level, very appreciable compromise

    Lightweight, thin, nice keyboard and screen, fast, screen as big as the panel structure allows. I can't live without it.
    A few drawbacks: battery resistance far too low (lasts 2 hours or more, that's all), keyboard almost unreadable if not backlit, characters printed too thin.

    Nice and efficient product

    Thin PC. Screen: large and good quality (matt). Keyboard: quiet and with adjustable backlighting: comfortable. Weaknesses: a bit heavy, battery not very strong and sound a bit weaker than expected.
    Total: very good quality/price ratio.

    Good machine

    This laptop is really nice, very comfortable screen. Very quiet cooling. The keyboard is also quiet in its operation. A real pleasure to use this MSI.

    I was able to install Ubuntu 20.04 on it without any problems, everything is recognized without any difficulties, whether it is the webcan, microphone, stereo speakers, wifi, bluetooth, screen brightness adjustment by the keyboard, etc.

    It's a fast machine, which if it can't run powerful 3D games is more than enough for internet surfing, office work, multimedia, and video editing to create your holiday movies for example.

    I would have liked to have a physical button to deactivate the wifi and bluetooth and save the battery when travelling. But no regrets on the purchase despite this absence.

    I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out and see if it's working properly.

    Good configuration overall

    Overall I find it a good configuration to work with. Light and compact. Even with the extra RAM (necessary when you want to run several greedy tools) the price is still interesting. But beware: this additional RAM breaks the manufacturer's warranty seal. So do it once everything is well installed and validated.
    Concerning the installation: I didn't manage to install Debian, even with the most recent image.
    Windows10 was a bit shaky: drivers were missing. The iso I used was not very young but even on the net it was difficult to find them.
    In the end, it's with Ubuntu that I got the best out of it: lightning installation and everything works the first time.
    I would recommend this laptop to anyone who wants to use Ubuntu for office or development purposes (as long as you add RAM for the latter).
