I read up on this quite a bit and this is what I got out of it.

- for latest gen i7 with qhd seems like the best price (as of right now)
- plastic chassis
- runs terribly slow off power (but big improvement over gen 11 on power)
- 3060 gpu is 80-90w instead of 120w
- anti glare screen but good colors
- Keyboard not as good as older MSI keyboards (not as tactile and lower)
- only one nvme ssd slot so you'd need to fully replace the 512 to upgrade

What do you mean by runs terribly slow off power? If it's on battery some throttling kicks in? I'm sure you can disable that

There was a YouTube video of real world benchmarks and it lost to the older 11th gen i7 considerably. My guess is default settings and major throttling. I believe the YouTuber said he couldn't get higher benchmarks even changing the settings. I ended up buying one so we'll see. Checked off my boxes and needed a laptop soon.
