- Incredible gaming performance - Amazing frame rates, even at high graphics settings - 100 fps playing warzone at relatively high settings. 80 FPS at max settings

- Short battery life - Screen colour quality not the best - Temperatures get quite high, so a cooling pad is necessary during gaming. These are compromises I was willing to make for the price, given I'm getting an RTX 3060 and i7

Overall, it was a great purchase on sale for $1349 CAD. Full price wouldn't be such a good deal. Doesn't have great battery life or the best screen, but for the price, given the fantastic gaming performance, I am quite happy. I use a cooling pad which keeps the temperatures 10-15 degrees cooler. The battery will last maybe 1.5 hours doing non-gaming stuff, but I'm near an outlet all the time. Also, the audio quality with my headphones plugged in is amazing. You can definitely get a high performance gaming laptop with good cooling and long battery life, but that's if you're willing to pay an extra $500-$1000.

Great specs. Looks great on paper.

Every single time you touch it, you leave a mark on it. Every fingerprint ever shows up on the case, keyboard, everything. Battery dies super fast when using mid-range power settings. In their infinite wisdom, MSI decided to push the right shift key over to make space for an up arrow key. What an ignominious failure. There are many reasons I'm returning this laptop but this is the single greatest reason.

I would absolutely not recommend this laptop to anyone. Firstly, I didn't realize how much the 17" was over this laptop. With the current discount it was a $20 difference. Why the hell did no one tell me that I could get 2" more screen for just $20 more? There are many reasons I'm returning this laptop but the biggest reason is the keyboard. They've cut the shift key short to make room for the up arrow. Why the hell would you do that?! I also have no idea why, but when I type numbers they take a moment to show up on the screen. What's that about??? I think I'll probably throw down an extra $400 or so and get something like a Dell XPS. I was really unimpressed by this machine and it's significantly undermined my faith in MSI to design good hardware.

Fast, sleek, and has all the right specs for today's gaming world

The metal finish, especially near the ESC key, gets VERY hot...so, if you are playing and plan on using the onboard keyboard be aware.

Worth the price - Yes Worthy specs for today's games - Yes Case - Gets too hot

- great specs - excellent keyboard - good cooling

- can still get quite hot under load - only 2 USB ports - no mini display port

I'm quite pleased with this laptop. I use it to write a lot and the keyboard is fantastic. The finish is very slick and looks great. It does a good job of staying cool but I definitely recommend a cooling pad for it if you'll do any gaming.

- 3060 Graphics - 16gb RAM - good cooling - lightweight - great for typing

- Only red lit keyboard (if that's even a weakness for some) - 2 USB 3.1 ports - no mini DisplayPort

While in the market for a new laptop, I had a few requirements: - 16gb RAM - 10750H CPU - 3060 Graphics - Nice keyboard - under $2000 This met all of my requirements and more. The fan and cooling are great. It's very comfortable to type on. I was hesitant about getting a 15.6" as my previous laptop was a 17.3" but the difference isn't even really that apparent yet. It wasn't my first choice, but I'm quite glad I got it.

Lighter and slimmer than expected. Powerful. good sized screen

Runs warm when constantly gaming.

Big upgrade from my pervious laptop and can now run all the games on steam that I've never been able to run past low settings. Like anything running on high power, it does get a little noisy and warm, but that is to be expected. For a little laptop with a 30 series GPU under $2000 is a great deal.

Size, screen, performance.

Gets pretty hot, storage amount isn't the greatest.

I'm well pleased with my purchase, it's a huge step up from my old laptop, worth getting. Going from an HDD to NVME is a night and day difference.

Size is great, extremely portable without sacrificing horsepower. Refresh rate is great for my needs, drive speed going from HDD on my previous one to NVME in this is night and day difference. Loving that 3000 series GPU, I don't play super modern/demanding games but seeing a performance increase in my favourite games is quite welcome.

Fans are a bit loud and keyboard can get quit hot.

Fantastic experience overall, well worth getting.
