Super PC
Of course, adding memory is complicated, but apart from that the PC does its job well. I recommend this PC if the GE is no longer available.
The MSI Vector GP78 HX 13VG Gaming Notebook is designed for the demanding gamer. This MSI notebook offers a perfect gaming experience thanks to its high-performance components, 17" QHD 240 Hz display, backlit Gamer keyboard and powerful audio system.
The 13th generation Intel Core i7 processors feature an enhanced hybrid architecture that consists of Performance Cores (P-Cores) and Efficiency Cores (E-Cores). With them, you get optimal performance for your most demanding multitasking and gaming.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs deliver extreme speed for gamers and creators. Based on the highly efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, these GPUs deliver a breakthrough in performance with AI-based DLSS 3 and ray tracing for ultra-realistic images. In addition, the Max-Q technology suite optimises system performance, power, battery life and noise levels for higher efficiency.
On this Gaming Laptop, MSI offers its proprietary Cooler Boost 5 cooling technology that works with two six-pipe fans designed to expel hot air from the chassis through four different streams. The Cooler Boost 5 technology is specifically designed for laptops that include a high-performance graphics chip.
This Gamer Notebook features a key-by-key backlighting of the keyboard, allowing you to customize the keyboard as you wish using the SteelSeries Engine interface. You can set the keyboard to receive real-time information while you play or simply watch the keyboard light up to the beat of your songs.

Of course, adding memory is complicated, but apart from that the PC does its job well. I recommend this PC if the GE is no longer available.
Warning: the interior is very difficult to access! Updates (ram and ssd) must therefore be optimised.
A new installation of Windows will necessarily require the presence of the Intel F6 driver on the key, otherwise ssd disks will not be detected.
Otherwise, with 64GB of ram and a 4TB SSD, this MSI Vector is excellent.
