I got this for $850 around black friday and it's definitely a steal, IF you know what you're buying.

Pros
-3060 at $800 is insane
-8gb is 8gbx1 module, so easy upgrade
-2 nvme slots, once again easy upgrade
Cons
-3060 is a 75w card (iirc) so it suffers performance wise. This wasnt an issue for me because I came from a 960m
-build quality is buttcheeks, mushy keyboard, chassis flex, the speakers are on the bottom so I could barely hear anything when watching a movie in bed
-thermals, this thing is like a jet engine taking off underload. I can't explain how loud it is lol

But at the end of the day, it'll run damn near every game and its made me pretty happy

Note: if anyones running Ubuntu on this and figured out how to get 2 monitors working shoot me a message 😂
By a lot ,This laptop comes with 10500h processor which is a six core processor which will be good enough for a low tgp 3060-even enough for a full power 3060 if you dont play CPU intensive games like cyberpunk on high (there is not a huge difference in 10th vs 11th gen(10-15%) unlike 11th to 12th(50%-though prices are 50% higher)You can just add 2x8/2x16 single rank ram to get better performance in the future

Is a lower wattage 3060 still faster than a 3050ti?

BestBuy doesn't do open boxes for MSI. The returned units are sent back to MSI, just fyi.

Excellent laptop. I added a 2nd ssd and extra 8gb ram. Extremely slim and portable, can run in silent mode for about 20% performance drop but can't hear it. Really amazing performance for the money.

Doesn't have number pad. Am I being a whiner for wanting this? Are these specs really great? I would be using it for mostly graphics and CAD, not too much gaming.

I got this laptop last time for the same $799. It's absolutely awesome, I added a 2nd 8GB RAM. But CPU gets hot while gaming, I undervolt it to around -100 and able to lower the temperature by a lot.
