    Perfect, but

    5 Stars for LDLC because the product was delivered very quickly and the product was well packaged, but 4 stars for MSI because the laptop is beautiful but with one concern: The possibility of adding a second sdd m.2 because it lacks a 'mounting braket' which is not provided with and must order on the site msi free of course but there is a wait of 15 or 30 days. All this for a piece of metal that weighs not even 10g and a length of 5 cm (I do not understand where the logic in that). But otherwise out of the box the computer is perfect for gaming, workstation.
