Nice
Buying this as a replacement for an 8 year old gaming laptop so it’s hard to be disappointed. I put a wifi adapter in the back to speed up the internet as I’m a bit far from our router and can’t easily hook up Ethernet in this room. With that, internet is very fast. Google tells me 333 Mbps download and 332.5 Mbps upload.It has empty slots for upgrades, and lots of space for airflow.This is good for my gaming needs – Elden Ring at max settings with 1440p ran at 60 fps. Probably not gonna use this for VR or 4K so that’s good enough for me.BTW this thing has 8GB VRAM. I ran some smaller distilled deepseek models and it ran them very smoothly. Fan didn’t even need to kick on for the smallest one. But it’s gonna slow down if I push for larger ones, and tbh all these small models aren’t as smart as 4o or sonnet anyway, so I probably won’t use it much for this.Anyway, overall great value for the price. Looks cool and is quiet also 🙂

MSI Customer SUPPORT
Awesome unit for a reasonable price! I was planning to do my own build but the price of video cards was just too high. So just by chance, I happened to look at this unit. I couldn’t find a 4000 series Nvidia video card let alone find one under $1,000. Turns out this unit came with an Nvidia 4070 plus an entire computer along with it to boot! So i ordered it and received it in just two days. When I rfirst turned it on and was very dismayed to learn that everything was in Italian, including a very weird keyboard layout. I struggled to set it up in Italian but just couldn’t pull it off. So I called MSI customer support and to my amazement, I had a tech on the phone in less than ten minutes. The tech walked me through how to restore everything to the default factory settings and I was back in business in another ten minutes. My last experience with hardware tech support was with Asus during an attempted build gone wrong. That took literally DAYS to get anywhere and I never did resolve my problem with an incompatibility between my AMD cpu and the Asus motherboard BIOS. So I was just soooooo very happy that MSI had adequate customer support !!

Complete scam, i unboxed the desktop to discover the cpu and gpu were completely removed and the heatsink was just loose in the packaging, luckily im able to get a full refund.

Not up to par
Thought given the name brand, this would have been a decently powerful computer for gaming, running VR. I couldnât get it to work much of the time and it wouldnât even restart or turn on or off most of the time. When I finally did get it to boot up and tried to play games on it, it played regular not GPU intensive games at an abysmal frames per second. The graphics quality had to be tuned down just to get it to work well. The WiFi was also not great as running virtual desktop was jittery at best. I canât say much about the keyboard and mouse it came with because I didnât use them, but if using a Bluetooth keyboard and or mouse, you will need to use the usb on the top of the computer as putting the Bluetooth adapter in the back resulted in too much interference for it to pick up the keyboard and mouse reliably. I wouldnât recommend this computer if youâre looking for a reliable machine. It looks good on paper, but it doesnât meet my expectations. Only thing I can say is that the company I bought it from Beach Audio, is accepting it back for return. I appreciate that from a private seller on Amazon.
