Good price if the GPU isn't very important to you. 3050 Ti is like 40% faster for reference. 3060 is over 100% faster.
The first gen screen (this one) has some noticeable blur on motion, despite being a high refresh panel. Second gen is better, but second gen with 1440p panel is smooth.

Overall, this is a killer laptop if you don't mind the blur or smaller trackpad vs other premiums.

Good for every day use at home? Web browsing, Microsoft office and stocks. No gaming so don't care about high refresh rates or the GPU.

It is only 60hz. Probably the same screen as the last year's model which was crap. Easy pass. I would rather pay the extra and get the Acer which has a much more capable gpu. Not to mention the screen is most likely better as well.

There are two areas that are cheap on this laptop......1. GPU and 2. screen.

1. The 1650 will barely push the newer games at low settings... but it can do it, Barely.

2.. The screen is 250 Nits 60Hz.... this is considered a low end screen besides giving you 1080P anti glare (I think it is anti glare)

The build quality is very high... I still would choose the Acer Swift X if you need a 14" laptop, it's CPU is the 5800u (this one is about 5% faster) but it does have a 3050Ti (which is about about 10% slower then a 1660 Ti, but more efficient) and it has a web CAM. The 3050Ti is about 40% faster then the 1650. And the swift has a web CAM. But I feel the Asus is a better build... Both this ASUS and the Swift have a 60Hz screen but the swift is 300nits while the ASUS is 250nits.

Again, if I was buying a 14", I would go with the swift.

Ty. Either screen works for my purposes. Other than the screen, which one would be better?

Casual reminder for those considering this: this machine does not have a webcam. If you don't care about that, perfect. If you are using it for work and need to take meetings..well yeah.
There's a work around though. The my asus app remotes your phone in as the laptops camera

Apples and oranges, the msi you linked to weighs 2lbs more and is a 15.6. People looking at the 14" are looking for the portability. Also that msi doesn't charge via usb c which is a consideration for portability as well

For gaming the low end GPU here is a perfect match for 60hz.
Agreed….if you're not pushing 120 frames why would you need 120hz. Just to see the same frame twice?
