LDLC as always exemplary.
The laptop is powerful. Very good value for money. The only downside at this stage and from the beginning of use: the battery. It discharges in less than 3 hours even with office use and with the intelligent MSI optimization.
My old computer was an MSI, less powerful, I had it for 8 years. Changing computer is special, with the MSI KATANA I have better graphics, I can play all the games I bought. Everything is super smooth. The only problem I found is that the battery is not incredible but frankly it's not that bad.
