THE ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED TO READ.
Laptop is a beast for gaming and production work. I was skeptical at first buying this laptop after reading about the flickering issues with the screen and the heating too. Ive gotten use to using the fan boost built in the laptop while using Headphones while gaming and it does the job well enough to drop temps in intense game’s.For example cyberpunk maxed out on path tracing playing with MFG of course aka frame generation. To get the absolute power out of this laptop is to always have it plugged in on a outlet like always. Finally, Probably the most important part is the screen flickering, that issue was solved by updating the bios to the recent release since this laptop comes with the old bios from last year. After updating the bios the screen stop flickering and hasn’t happened ever since.Overall this laptop is great for the read speed and graphics. Sure the noise level with the max fan speed can be a little annoying. I do reccomend those who tend to use this as a main gaming pc to get a laptop cooler that can seal the bottom to help woth temps for full time use otherwise of its just for travel gaming or work the base cooler should be fine if you can handle a small warmth to your left hand. And a small problem that I’ve run into on my laptop was my track pad not clicking or registering the mouse 1 and 2. For that fixed I Uninstalled the Drivers for the track pad and restarted my pc to force windows to reinstall the drivers again and that fixed that problem.I couldn’t reccomend a decent laptop that can run almost anything you throw at it to modern games to this day. Only problems are the bios update and heating but those are easy to avoid if you know what you are doing.

So far so good 🙂 until now 🙁
So the box arrived in great condition with no previous signs of being opened and it did have the brand new feel. It’s an extremely well made and solid looking laptop and so far it’s running as intended. With the rtx 5080 and ryzen 9 this laptop takes on pax dei and dune awakening as if they were older games. Absolutely no issue playing current games out there it has 1 terabyte hard drive which is perfect for 2025 and all gamers have external storage anyways. This laptop makes me feel confident in future games yet to come so for the price I feel so far it’s worth every penny. And the screen on the laptop is amazing I feel it’s 2x better than the Alienware screen I have it plugged into lol. I wish it had more HDMI And USB ports but I made it work none the less. Just to keep it running at peak condition I bought a cooling pad. I love MSI and have yet to have any issues with any of their products they are always of great quality. Update: I had high hopes until I noticed glitching and flickering and then an audio electronic feed back coming from my speakers. After attempting to update every thing and nothing worked I finally gave up and I haven’t had the laptop long at all so sadly I’m returning it and hopefully I’ll have better luck finding another laptop. I had high hopes but this is the first time I’ve had any issues with Msi computers. So as it stands I would not recommend this specific laptop now.

Excellent laptop,just can’t stand windows
Bought this computer, then installed bazzite. I can’t stand windows, and all the bloatware associated. Switched to linux, and haven’t looked back. Everything runs at least comparable, if not better. The 5080 handles all my games, and looks gorgeous at 2560*1600. I can max everything I play.The star is the 9955hx. Its a beast. Can’t slow it down.

Maybe I got a dud???
Edit: (update) the item was returned and refunded. Glad amazon is very buyer friendly. Not sure if it was just unlucky or what, but it was a beast while it worked!Well, I loved it obviously because it’s a beast of a laptop for gaming. Blazes through escape from Tarkov with very high fps. It doesn’t let you use the full power of the mobile 5080 while on battery though. So be near a wall outlet because it does run out of battery fast. Small 1TB ssd is very lame for the money… After a few days of owning it (and using it very little because I’m so busy working) it wouldn’t power on. Doing an “EC” reset fixed it, but here I am a few days later and I tried to power it on to play, and ofcourse it doesn’t work.. I opened a ticket after letting it charge for an hour with different outlets and I opened a ticket with MSI. May have to send it in because I’m great with technology and I can’t get it to show any signs of life. Before it died on me I had to reinstall the drivers a few times because of random black screens, and grey blocks everywhere. I think this is Blackwell GPUs showing it’s bad side.. Lots of money spent on a big headache.. hopefully it’s resolved soon. Kinda worried about any MSI branded desktop parts I have in various desktops I’ve built that are around the house…
