How? Most laptop bioses give you no CPU tweaking options.
that's slow, no?
1) gaming capable laptop or underpowered video card?
2) how's msi warranty?
3) is ram and nvme upgradable?
4) rebate a newegg gift card?
5) any chance Amazon will price match?
2) the warranty is great, and you'll likely need it. QC on MSI machines is flat bad.
3) yes, but there's only one slot for each
4) rebate cards are typically checks, not sure
5) amazon doesn't price match, and they're usually not too generous with MSI Prestige pricing
If you're looking for a gaming laptop with a decent lifespan, this isn't it.

In reality, people should buy for their use case more than buying because some computer's spec configuration seem to be a bargain, which often times there's a reason for that when it comes to new laptops unfortunately. Laptop manufacturer's should start making more practical options for machines (1440p options instead of only 4k, upgradeable ram and ssd, utilize other chipsets beyond Intel's for every single option on a laptop, dedicate more resources into thermals being controlled so users are happier/dont return their products) but no, as with most industries they make short sighted decisions and will take 5 to 10 years to adjust to making a healthier field for consumers as right now, theyre only concerned with selling you the machine and you being happy long enough to not return it

There are good laptops out there, you just need to find them. I am using a Lenovo Legion 5 with a 1660ti, that I picked up on an Amazon Warehouse deal for $750 in November. It performs well and I have no problems with thermals. It is dead quiet unless gaming where the fans ramp up.
In my opinion it is not good time to buy gaming computers right now. Everything is expensive compared to November of last year. If possible I would wait.

One thing, I went to see the Lenovo Legion 5 demo unit in store recently and I was absolutely surprised by how dim the screen was. I felt like even at max brightness, and plugged in. And then I went home and checked on official Lenovo site and sure enough I saw the max nits was either 250 or 300, depending on the configuration (didn't catch which screen type the demo unit was specifically).
Curious do you find the brightness levels acceptable on your unit ?
A nice screen is probably most important for me and I like that this is 4k. Do you think this would work for my purposes or are the thermals and stuff people have mentioned going to be an issue?
15.6" models aren't much heavier but it catches up to you so much when carrying a good distance, especially daily. Wish I had this when commuting to college. Great deal if you have a 4K monitor needing a source that'll give it what it wants. Going from 4K to a 1080p monitor is a struggle, especially at 14", a 25-27" 1080 monitor is going to look like poo.

In November it was $1,000 regular price but it dropped down to $900 on a deal. I purchased mine from the Amazon Warehouse for $750. Although the description said it had scratches and scuffs mine was in like-new condition but was not in the original box. According to Lenovo, the warranty is active unto Sept 2021 even though Amazon said no warranty.
