    Good laptop. very good value for money

    This is my first msi gamer laptop, and I've often heard this brand referred to as the best, so I thought I'd give it a try. First of all, I was shocked by the size of the 16-inch laptop, as my previous gamer laptop was a 17.3-inch (Medion erazer), so I thought I'd find a good size compromise, having already had a 15-inch, but I really found it small. However, you get used to it and I have to admit that it's very light (2kg 64) so it's very practical when used on battery. The power cord is short, something I've heard about for the msi, which isn't very practical, the length only allows you to put it on a coffee table, which is very surprising. The laptop is well finished, of very good quality, with a nice FHD+ 144hz LED screen and good speakers. The webcam is a little disappointing in 720P, although it works very well with windows hello. The keyboard is very nice with its backlighting, a good feel, a little small, with numeric keys but not complete, it seems that the 17-inch msi have the same keyboard. Apart from these minor faults, the PC is very good, very powerful, with an excellent processor (i9 12900hx) and graphics card (RTX 4080). The RAM is a bit tight for very large applications, so I upgraded it to 32GB and added a second 1TB SSD. I recommend this PC, it's the best value for money, and you can upgrade it for less than 200 euros.
