    Mitigated

    GNU/Linux Debian, NVIdia Bumblebee driver, Not used as a gamer
    Positive points:
    - Power: It's a racing beast, for computing, video manipulation/imaging/streaming, the PC is fast.
    CPU usage: 10% for encoding the secondary screen in 1920/1080
    - the 2nd SATA disk slot is very practical (and necessary when the non-removable internal disk is out of order)
    - the 32GB RAM means that everything can be launched at the same time; and under GNU/Linux the /dev/shm directory can be used as a file system in memory, which preserves the SSD (video copy with ffmpg SSD->SHM: speed=5.5e+03x)
    Negative points:
    - The non-removable battery: it's possible that it won't start when it's completely dead (programmed obsolescence?)
    - installation: quite complex. I installed the Bumblebee driver from NVivia, you have to do some research to know what to do
    https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee
    -Hardware: Fault in the screen closing contact, when it is closed the PC switches back on. It switches off when the PC is moved (wrong contact?)
    - Internal hard disk: It is immovable/inaccessible, which means that data cannot be recovered in the event of a crash.
    - External hard drive: Installation is very laborious, the PC doesn't open wide enough for effective handling (3 to 4 cm opening height just enough to insert the SATA drive).
    -Sound: correct
    PC. It is preferable to put your /home on the secondary drive (which is becoming almost compulsory on this PC).
    - Hardware: keyboard: correct, nice touch, but one key (left ctrl malfunctions) not sure the keyboard will last over time.
    Heat: The PC certainly heats up, a ventilated stand is recommended, it makes some noise but that seems OK to me.
    Summary: Powerful, but a lot of hardware faults that mean I can't recommend it.

    Slightly disappointed with performance

    PC to replace a Lenovo X13 Yoga Gen 2 whose motherboard failed; I find that the performance of the MSI "GAMER" is a little light given the configuration...
    I mainly do 3D modelling and I find that the MSI is less responsive than the Lenovo, even though it has twice as much ram, a better processor and a real dedicated graphics card.
    Even if I force my 3D software to use the graphics card, it's far from being the racer I was hoping for.
    The EFI Shell BIOS is a bit temperamental when it comes to installing W10 (a recurring problem at MSI).
    I had to reinstall Windows in a rather ungodly way to stop getting the message when the PC started up.
    It's better to have a good knowledge of computers before buying one...

    Top-notch laptop!

    The computer is great, the only drawback is that it discharges far too quickly, but as I leave it plugged in, I don't mind!

    Beautiful machine

    The PC arrived quickly and in good condition.
    I was able to insert my data hard drive, despite a not-so-easy disassembly (fortunately there are tutorials available).
    I installed Linux Mint and it works fine.
    The button for displaying the bios at start-up wasn't indicated, so I found documentation for that too.
    I'm very happy despite these minor difficulties!

    PC Msi

    Perfect delivery time! A good PC, just I had not paid attention that there was no operating system when buying but problem solved we had it installed by someone so nickel! A good gift for my brother, happy to have made someone happy.

    Ideal for DJs

    First of all I would like to thank the LDLC team who listened to me and were able to modify my order quickly following an ordering error on my part.
    As far as the PC is concerned, it is ideal for my main job as a DJ.
    It performs without any problems.
    The value for money is indisputable.
    Thank you LDLC

    Works fine with Ubuntu 22.04.3

    Problem-free installation of Ubuntu 22.04.3 (Jammy Jellyfish). The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card is recognised by the "new" Ubuntu driver, but the computer doesn't shut down properly with this driver and you have to force the shutdown manually. However, you just need to install the proprietary driver (version 535.113.01 available here: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/211711/en-us/ ) and everything will be back to normal.

    A beast!

    i7 - 10 cores and 32GB Ram, cg GF rtx2050 with 512GB on an nvme ssd, this computer is a beast!
    Supplied without OS, but for only €999 compared with the same models with OS.
    With Photoshop and Illustrator installed, you can hear the fans turning, but it's really fast.
    The only downside is the red colour of the slab, but that's a minor inconvenience.
    Nothing to complain about, I recommend it.
