Powerful Laptop!
Let me start off by saying this thing is handling all games I throw at it like a champ. But let me get my complaints in.
First off, MSI should really increase their QA on refurbishing. The back plastic cover wont snap on correctly, as the tabs are broken. Not a big deal, dab of super glue and its good to go. But they also bent the metal surrounding the usb ports when prying the back off, again not a deal breaker but hate to see it.
Fan noise is alittle louder than expected, but this my first gaming laptop and its no louder than recent desktops I've built.
I must have gotten lucky as I heard this particular model (Stealth-001) was the Best Buy edition and those had terrible TN panels. I own both TN and IPS monitors including a 1440p ultrawide. I had already planned to replace the screen when I got it but the panel looks great! No complaints there. Even if the panel was bad, an IPS replacement screen is only $60 and pretty simple to replace. I wouldn't let that discourage buying this.
I do plan to switch the 1TB hdd for a SSD, and anyone buying this should consider doing the same.
All of my complaints are target to MSI and not this seller. The seller shipped quickly and I recieved this a week ahead of time.
So far im very happy with this purchase!
