I have been shopping on and off for the last year, and when I buy Motherboards or other major components, MSI is always my first choice when shopping. I obviously found this laptop first when I was looking for something light, small, and can handle anything I throw at it, while looking professional when doing it. I didn't want anything bulky or screaming "Gaming Laptop" as I do other things than just gaming like Video Editing, Photo Editing, web design, Virtualization, etc. as my wife calls it, "Nerd Stuffs". I did however look at the Razor, ROG, and the HP Omen, when making my decision to spend ~1600+ on a laptop. I will list Pros and Cons:
PROS: The style, light, and overall thinness of this laptop. Its very light (4.65ish pounds), looks very sleek and thin, and when you have it sitting on your desk at work it doesn't look obnoxious like you are just sitting there saying "look at my gaming fancy laptop".
The Keyboard is very clicky, and mechanical. It has a great layout and customizing the colors per key is pretty slick. When you hit the "FN" key for hotkeys, the hotkeys light up red and turn off all other key lights making it easy to see where they all are.
The screen quality - 144hz 1080p IPS is very bright, crisp and clear. You would be surprised at how smooth window animations and game video actually are. The frame around is very thin and low profile.
The POWER! - This laptop plays Mass Effect on the highest settings without even kicking the fans up, (i know its an old game) but it definitely kicks my prior GTX660 in the pants with graphics. Rendering videos is quick as well! I got the 1060 with 6gb memory. Computer boots up in about 5 seconds, cold bootup to desktop.
Battery Life - With general working, emails, internet, etc the battery will easily last 5+ hours. I have not tested it gaming, as more than likely I will leave it plugged in when gaming anyways.
USB3.1 is very quick pulling files back and forth - Bluetooth works great with my MX Master 2s Mouse.
Lots of ports for video, USBC, Full Ethernet, etc.
CONS-
Honestly nothing major yet, but so far-
FINGERPRINT Magnet! It is a nice sleek metal frame, but resting palms on it will definitely leave prints, you can see every place you touched it between wipe-downs. MSI did provide a nice Microfiber Cloth to keep it wiped up.
The Stickers............. Seriously..... there is one large spec sticker that came right off, no big deal, but the PC MAG "brag" Sticker ---WOULD NOT COME OFF--- It took me about 15 minutes of carefully picking it off because it left so much residue that I ended up having to use goo gone to get it off, which I REALLY didn't want to do, but it was my only choice. It was totally crooked and I wasn't about to just leave it on.
Bloatware - It honestly wasn't THAT bad like other reviewers stated, it does come with 60 days of Norton's latest crapware (first thing I removed) but most of the junk is the Windows 10 standard junk - not MSI's fault really.
Laptop Speakers - The speakers are seriously nothing special. They do the job, but lets be real, if you are trying for amazing sound, you're going to be using headphones anyways. The onboard DAC is great with a lot of settings.
Hard Drive partition map- The OS is on about 65% of the drive. Then there are 2 partitions from MSI for recovery and tools. I burned the disks and saved images of them to my External, and on my FileServer and dumped those partitions to give me ~97% of the drive. MSI has a program installed to walk you though the process.
Overall- I really enjoy this laptop a lot. It was hard biting the bullet and buying, but worth every penny. It slips right in my backpack and can carry it around with me anywhere I go. It was perfect for me, and has yet to disappoint me yet performance wise. MSI definitely means it when they call it a "Stealth Thin" laptop.
Some things for people to consider:
When buying, think about how much files/games/etc you want to put on it. I bought the 256gb SSD, and definitely wish I got the bigger drive. Its not really a big deal though because I carry a 2tb Western Digital Passport so if I have a big project, I can store it there when I am not working on it; however games are HUGE. I believe Titanfall clocked in 50+ gb.
If you already have a standard sized laptop backpack, this will fit it. Mine was bought at Wal-Mart for 40 bucks when I really needed one, and this slips right in. No need to buy anything special if you don't want to.
Well, this was long winded, But I really hoped I helped all of you still reading make a great decision to buy this laptop.
The specs for this machine are pretty high up there for such a sleek form factor. The model I purchased came with the GTX 1060 and can play most games on high but you may have to lower the settings to take advantage of the 144Hz refresh rate. The CPU is nothing to scoff at either as the i7 in it can scream through most tasks. My model came with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM that you can upgrade but I chose not to as 16 GB is more than enough for most games and programs. The 256 GB of M.2 SSD storage was also adequate for a few games and it reduces the load times considerably. Going from an SSD to an non-SATA M.2 is similar to going from an HDD to an SSD. Quite the increase. There is also an additional slot for another M.2 SSD but only one of them supports SATA.
The screen is simply one of the best I've seen on a laptop of comparible specs. A full 144Hz with a display range close to that of IPS levels and a razor thin bezel to boot makes viewing it quite the experience.
The keyboard and track pad are good as well. The keyboard feels responsive and has fully customizable keybinds and LED backlighting that you can control with the SteelSeries software. The trackpad flows and feels nice to the touch but I haven't used it much as I prefer mice but its still perfect for traveling.
It comes with a number of MSI software that is good to use like the Profile controllers that allow you to adjust fan curves and clock settings via hotkeys. However there is a lot of bloatware that this machine comes with as well. I would immediately uninstall the antivirus that it comes with and install the antivirus of you choice or none at all. As with most newly purchased laptops you should uninstall any bloatware or just reinstall the OS to make it run faster.
There are some caveats to this laptop. As beautiful as it is, it smudges quite easily. The font on the keyboard is also not the most aesthetically pleasing thing in the world. The laptop also gets incredibly hot and loud when gaming at high settings, although you can alleviate this with liquid metal or a very high conductivity thermal paste. Speaking of which, getting to any of the internal components is pretty difficult as the motherboard is flipped compared to other laptops. You will have to use a toolkit to remove the motherboard in order to change out the RAM or M.2 SSDs or change the thermal paste. Doing that is a pretty nerve wracking task and is not recommend unless you have experience in installing hardware components. The external video output ports are also in a strange position. They are on the right sight of the laptop and can get in the way if you are using a mouse.
Overall, this is an extremely solid machine and I am very satisfied with my purchase. Parting advice; undervolt the cpu/gpu in order to get maximum performance (lower electricity usage means lower heat output). Each chip is different so safe undervolting settings may vary from person to person. I would have a friend or a professional undervolt the laptop for you if are uncomfortable with doing it yourself.
