  • This is targeted more toward Creators than gamers.
  • This has full Aluminum construction
  • The Display brightness for the 1080P Panel is around 366 nits.
  • It has 99% sRGB, 70% Adobe RGB, 75% DCI-P3 color gamut
  • Battery is huge 99.9 WHr which is the absolute max you can carry in a Flight.
  • The Thunderbolt 3 port can be used to charge the Laptop as well, rare feature in these powerful Laptops.
  • This offers full fan control, undervolting and because of that, the CPU performance is one of the best among the 10875H Laptops and good amount faster than Razer Blade 15 with same CPU.

Can anyone chime in about how the thermals are on this machine? This laptop has everything I'm looking for in a photo editing machine: SD card reader, two SSD slots, USB C and Thunderbolt and the extras like webcam and fingerprint reader. How do MSI laptops hold up over time with heavy use?

Edit: can someone confirm if this has two SSD slot?

Any impression for how durable these MSI machines are? Over recent years I've favored business-class notebook computers because they're more durable. My other ones in the past like Dell Inspirons would often randomly flake out after a few years even if they were mostly used as desktops.

Would be an instant buy from me if it wasn't a 1080 panel. I've been spoiled with high dpi screens.

Not sure about this mode. As of later 2019, Creator shares almost the same setting with GS65. That's being said, if you're a good DYIer, or not afraid of inverted motherboard, repaste GPU and CPU can reduce the temperature by about 10°c, which would be around 75°c on average.

It's a touchscreen that's why.

Check the review link given in the Product wiki. That'll answer all your questions about performance and thermals.

And yes, it does have 2 m.2 2280 slots with the empty one supporting both sata and nvme.

There are way better option available at this price. For Gaming, most people want a high refresh rate display, 144 Hz mainly. You can get a Gaming Laptop with 6 Core i7-10750H and a RTX 2070 at this price point or even cheaper, with 144 Hz or 240 Hz Panels which are way better for gaming performance.
This is a creator Laptop, comes with 60 Hz display and 8 Core Processor which are good for content creation and high CPU demanding tasks.
