First of all, I'd like to start with CONS: 1660 Ti not the 144Hz screen mentioned in the screen, but 120 (Amazon has updated this screen to exactly reproduce it). Contains screenshots. I mainly play older games (some are in 2017, but most are older than 2011), and many of these games have compatibility issues with 120Hz screens. This requires many complex starting solutions. Even if it is connected to an external signal source such as a 60Hz 1080p TV, I cannot operate it properly. If you play an incompatible game one way or another, it will slow down and play 50% at 30 fps or multiply by 120 fps. The game I played was new enough to use 120 Hz, and I hardly noticed a 60 Hz difference. You cannot set this display to 60 Hz, only 120 and 48. I think the 120 Hz refresh rate will be clear for the new FPS to work, but it can be ignored for the platforms you have played.
My second question is the speaker. Your presence. And you are old. I heard that inexpensive children's toys make better sounds. They are young, sharp and have an excellent response. Even with the built-in Nihimic audio editing software, it can't be as satisfying as life-long. It's also located on the bottom of the laptop. Even if it rests on a flat surface, it can improve the muffled sound. The cheaper Acer 2015 laptop and very old MacBOOK of 2012 were better.
My last big problem is battery life. As far as I know, gaming laptops are never good in terms of battery life, but no matter how difficult or how many background operations are broken, this device (at least a laptop) can take about an hour. When powered on (fully charged before fully powered on), I first run the included MSI Dragon Center software and use the battery calibration feature to extend battery life. It clearly didn't help. I can't even get Chrome running certain content on Hulu or Youtube without consuming about 1% every minute! And let the game work? Forget it, you might get 10 to 20 minutes of uncharacteristic games (i.e. games where fans can't shoot), then the product disappears because it's 100% fully charged.
USB mode is a small problem. There is only one on the left side of the front and only two on the right side. When you plug something into one, it usually blocks the movement of the mouse. It can be tolerated, but if you don't play on a big surface and stretch your arms slightly, it will get boring. The power adapter plug is also located in the middle of the right side and can also block your path. Its path is very thick, about 1 inch from where it is connected. The loading block is also 6.75 "x 3.5" x 1 ", which is a little bit confusing.
Fans can be very loud, especially when I press the turbo button, but this doesn't really bother me and doesn't play an important role in their climb. It can be high enough that someone in the next room appears to be using a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner. So if you want to play in a quiet place like a library or university, the people around you will notice the sound. World of Warcraft is powerful in all harsh environments like the game that I will be playing. The fan only starts when many effects appear on the screen. Under these parameters, the fan can only maintain an average of 85 fps (45 raid modes with many magical effects). It basically differs from 60fps for other computers.

Use PROS now: the device itself has extremely powerful functionality to price and build the best laptops. The cover and screen are covered with metal, while the bottom is made of rather thick and sturdy plastic. When opening or speeding up the screen, the screen does not become dazzling or shaky. The laptop itself is great artwork and the built-in lighting program for each key is fun. You can also create different lighting profiles for each program. These programs automatically switch to the program used first. MSI Dragon is great too. It can monitor the entire contents of a computer, and usually needs to check the BIOS or use other monitoring software to perform operations. For example, fan speed, CPU temperature / GPU, RAM number / CPU / GPU used etc. Add a lot of other useful information with one click to constantly update all the important drivers. You can also customize these settings for anything you see.
The quality of the internal webcam and the internal microphone are also good. Like the touchpad, the buttons have excellent touch and response. One thing I really like is that when you press the function key, the keys that you can use while pressing the key are highlighted.
If you want to play the latest AAA and FPS titles this is a good choice. However, if you love me and love old games on Steam / Uplay, you may feel frustrated soon. You can also use a Bluetooth headset or a Bluetooth speaker to pair, as the inner ears of the earphone seem to almost bleed.
Update: After not finding a satisfactory replacement product in the same range, I decided to keep this laptop. I made progress since the first comment about a month ago. I found that the terrible sound was due to the Nihimic sound program. After deactivating, let Realtek Standard Audio Driver take full control of the sound and the amplifier will not produce very difficult sound. Pamper yourself and remove Nihimic Trash. The bottom of the amplifier still looks boring, but if the front of the laptop is a little bit loud, the speaker looks better. Thanks to a lot of tweaks and overtime, several issues related to the incompatibility of old games I encountered were fixed. However, some games are still not working properly and I think it will not work at all. Honestly, the more I love this laptop. I can look at the past, there are terrible design flaws in this story (headphone mode, USB mode, charging mode, bad battery) but for me it will always be a pain. I even called customer service to ask the speaker's questions and they came back very quickly, and they were very polite. Despite its poor speaker mode and long battery life, I still didn't plan to turn on the alarm clock and I still buy a MacBook to play music and videos. This laptop should always be connected ... Does the error mean the purpose of the laptop? Even if the battery profile is set, my batteries cannot be fully charged. After that I plan to not need batteries connected to MSI.
