    A good all-round laptop.

    For the price, although inflated by the memory crisis since I bought it, this laptop is capable of versatile use with comfort. If you're looking to work on it and occasionally game, it does this very well.

    The model isn't very heavy, it's easy to handle and store, and its processor is particularly interesting in terms of performance. However, the graphics card is its weak point. For very light or older games, it'll be fine at 60/144hz. For the rest, let's just say the graphics card gets by with its 4GB of memory...

    All in all, for pure gaming use, spend a bit more. For versatile use that requires a graphics card of some sort, it's very good.

    Battery and guide

    I have concerns regarding the battery, it discharges quite quickly during use.
    It even discharges when the computer is turned off.
    I turn it off at 95%, I find it at 89% a few hours later.
    The charger is flatter than those of all the laptop pc I have already used.
    The key chart in the user guide, very small, does not make reading or understanding easy.
    Nice computer, clean design. Lightweight.

    Good little machine, but...

    Hello,
    As always, careful packaging, fast delivery, nothing to complain about.
    Regarding the product, this was my first purchase from MSI, and I had in mind higher quality machines. The plastic feels a bit cheap, and I'm sceptical about the cooling system and its effectiveness for more resource-intensive use, but I realise that this is an entry-level product.
    For the use I will be putting the machine to, it meets my expectations.
