    Pleased with this purchase

    At first I was hesitant to buy a new PC, but mine was getting old.
    So I decided to take advantage of the special offer to buy this model.
    First of all, I loved the sleek design. I was able to install two or three games and I'm still happy with my purchase.
    The sound of the speakers is not exceptional, so speakers or headphones are necessary.
    We'll see how it goes afterwards!

    Beautiful

    I've been using it for a while now, but it's still very good. The first time I played it, I set up and installed quite a few games that were more or less demanding, this one blew slightly but stayed cool and ran without any difficulties. I have been using it for a month now and I am fully satisfied with it.

    I've been using it for about a month now and I'm very happy with it, it's very fast, it's very well packaged and it's very well delivered.

    Great value for money!

    I got it on special offer so it was really interesting, I use it for courses (adobe suite), and it definitely meets the criteria I wanted!
    I'm not sure about the games, I think the screen might be a bit small, but the keyboard ergonomics are great.
    The only drawback is that it's a bit heavy, but it's quite bearable ^^

    Good value for money

    I'm not sure if it's a good one or a bad one, but it's a good one.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to add one or two more usb ports, as only three is not enough when you have wireless equipment.

    Very good product!

    Very good price the PC works great it is powerful fluid the screen is very good!
    Almost all games can run in ultra while keeping the FPS,
    Windows is extremely easy to install you plug in the USB stick and install a few drives and you're good to go.
    The only thing that is bad is the speakers, but for a gaming PC this is usually good enough and you can use it with a headset.
    It's a great piece of equipment.
    Thanks LDLC!

    Temperature and noise

    I've been using it for a while now, but it's not as good as it should be, so I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board.

    Great!

    Good laptop for gaming.
    The battery is not long lasting, but considering the performance, this is normal.
    Red backlit keyboard with a nice effect.
    Comes without OS.
    Lightweight.
    Fans sometimes noisy, especially in game mode, but normal too.

    The Windows 10 64 USB installation cannot find the drivers.

    The drivers provided on the "drivers" page are not sufficient to launch the installation of windows. Neither are the drivers downloaded from the MSI site.
