I've always had MSI PCs. When the time came to replace my 6-year-old MSI PE 70 6 QE deluxe Windows 10 PC, I immediately turned to MSI. Good quality, beautiful colours and speed.
After using it for several days, I've come to appreciate its simplicity and speed in all circumstances.
The keyboard keys are very flexible and the lighting is an added bonus.
I highly recommend this computer if, like me, you are an avid gamer.
The LDLC team is there to listen and advise you according to your needs.
Many thanks to them and their professionalism.
I chose a high-performance PC to replace my old one. The performance meets my expectations.
LDLC delivery service is top notch and fast
The laptop is good: fast, nice colour screen, and the plus a RJ 45 plug fast when you have an old box in wifi 5.
Minus: heats up a lot, you need a sloping surface under the PC for better cooling.
Battery a little weak, discharges very quickly and lasts 2h30/3h00 without doing any particular work, fortunately the charger is fast.
All in all, it's a very nice PC.
