Beast of a laptop
This is an excellent gaming laptop. Same screen as the early 23 razer AUE manufacturer not BOE. Slam dunk on cooling the 14 gen I9 is the hottest thing under the hood max temps are 80c considering this model of chip was designed to run at its jmax of 99c, that's really good. The cooling eliminates thermal throttle and area directly above the keyboard does not get hot, if gets warm 65c but I've had thin cut laptops get scolding hot in the same area 85c. The speakers are amazing for a laptop. Only cons are msi true screen messes with the brightness so badly I'd recommend an uninstall. VRAM also limits 4k game play for maximum graphical settings. (DLSS is max performance is a good work around, but it had some artifacts.) If you play in 1080-1440 and don't want to do max performance that's another option. Build quality for upgrade on the bottom shell is abysmal there is adhesive, holding it together, which makes it feel really bad When you pull the shell off. Also it's jammed pack with speakers in the sides so it feels like you could also damage. One of those on accident if you're not careful. 8/10 i want to stress if you don't want to fiddle with trying to fix the screen when you first get it. It will not be worth it. But if you're patient and really work with it, it's a wonderful unit.
