=>Pros:

-Audio

-Might get too hot for lap use (assuming it’s right on top of your pants)
A strong and powerful machine. So far I’ve played AC Odyssey/Origins/Syndicate, SW: Jedi Fallen Order, Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Fortnite, The Witcher 3, No Man’s Sky, Ryse Son of Rome and many other in the top graphic settings. Never had any issue. There’re many preset for fan and cpu/gpu power. The auto settings for the fan will make it really quiet (the outside metal might feel a bit hot, but totally standable... it means the heat is going out of the inside). Turbo mode will make it really cool, but with the price of the noise (you won’t notice with headphones. Audio is good. Booting time is awesome (even with my SSD full it won’t take even 10s to reach Windows 10 login screen). Screen is cristal clear (came with a 120% screen ratio configuration, changable in MSI config panel). Keyboard light brightness can be changed (4 levels, 0 to full), but color is always red. Touchpad is weird for me, but it isn’t bad. It’s really thing and light for it’s configurations. The power button is a bit hard to press, and in the first time I thought it was out of battery, but actually I didn’t press hard enough. Webcam will be automatically shutdown all time, unless you turn it on using Fn+keyboard button (which I don’t remember which one it is at the moment), I checked the Device Manager and it’s really like it’s not connected at all. The power input is at the left side, by the middle of the keyboard. Bluetooth works nicely with Xbox One Controller.
The reason I’d give 4.99: while typing, the edge next to you might slightly bother you skin (since I’m using it mostly for gaming with a controller and I use a wireless keyboard when I need to type, doesn’t affect me, and it gets a bit too hot for lap use sometimes while gaming.
Really good product, I’d totally recommend it.
Friendly reminder: it’s got around 500GB, so you might get around 8-10 of newest games installed, since they take around 40-60GB these days.
