Low-cost product: overheating and no webcam!

Very disappointed by this product in use.
Even its general appearance is low-cost ... a pale copy of a gamer PC, unworthy of the MSI brand. The plastic casing almost looks like a fake children's toy.
In fact, as soon as you push the graphics configuration of this PC just a little by using a programme that's a bit greedy (even a game that runs on a 2017 PC) that calls on the GeForceRTX card, the PC can't take it any more and heats up very quickly to the point where the space between the F1-etc keys and the screen becomes so hot that you can't leave your fingers in there!
What's more, last Friday I had to do my 1st teleworking videoconference with this new PC and, oh surprise, the webcam wasn't there! how can I look like a c** in front of all these customers ... thank you LDLC for this faulty purchase I'm particularly angry. Indeed zoom tells me "impossible the camera is not accessible" and in the windows settings "camera" when we click on "search cameras" it tells us "no camera found".
The specification sheet clearly states "Integrated 720p HD webcam" (not to mention the product name). I don't know about you, but for me "integrated" means installed and working.
I'm waiting with trepidation for the next surprise / failure ... and I dare to hope for a solution from you (LDLC team) to this problem.

A good compromise

I bought it because I wanted an inexpensive MSI laptop capable of running some good games like NBA2K, FIFA, NFS, Assassin's Creed and many others without thinking too much about the configuration, so it's not bad at all for the price the 3050 runs pretty well obviously it's an entry-level card I do not expect 3080 performance either. As for the processor, well, a Core i7 would have filled my heart, but given the price, the Core i5 isn't bad at all.

This PC is a good compromise and I stress the word compromise (like the lack of webcam) otherwise there are better and more expensive. The low autonomy is just related to the fact that it is a PC gamer but you can largely appreciate it given its capabilities.

Reasonable PC

I'm happy with this PC.
A fairly weak battery though.
And it heats up quite a lot when you use it for games. So it's better suited to activities such as web browsing and photo editing, rather than gaming.
