Strengths:
High end games work perfectly. CPU was cool through games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3.
Weaknesses:
Had to reset my windows because Windows Store got bugged and couldn't be downloaded. This meant I was missing some basic programs like Notepad, Calculator and Snipping Tool which also couldn't be downloaded without Windows Store.
Additional Comments:
Most computers I buy always end up with some starting issues so quite honestly this is one of the better ones and, along with testing it for a week now, I am quite satisfied with it. 4.5 / 5 Stars.

Strengths:
Truly incredible performance out of the box. The 13NUE-450US more than tripled the FPS (on MAX settings!) we used to see on our 3-yo gaming laptop. Not only that the Aegis was doing it with ease - GPU barely got above 50 C and the 13th Gen i7 1was hardly being pushed in terms of load %. Whether at idle or in the middle of gaming, the fans were quiet and we barely noticed a change in speed.
Weaknesses:
After just ONE day the CPU went nuts - in the middle of a download (NO other apps running, just Epic Games launcher downloading FIFA via EA partner apps) the machine's fans suddenly started blasting. From then on CPU load would hit 100% during the simplest task (loading a webpage, downloading or transferring a file, etc) and the clock speed was at max. Also noticed that windows power plans stopped working properly - even in Power Saving mode with Max Processor state set to 99/90/50% the CPU was constantly glued to max turbo boost speed. Worst of all it performed like a dog - our games became virtually unplayable.
Additional Comments:
IF this machine kept working properly our rating would be 5/5 +++. We were blown away with the power and moreso the relative ease it ran our games (on max). Compared to a gaming laptop this monster barely broke a sweat.
I have to give it a 1/5 because it became practically useless after the the first day. I know Windows can be an awful OS; was it that? This was our first MSI product and as tempted as I am to try picking up another unit I'm not sure I'll take the chance. Should consider a custom build from Mem Express.
