I don't understand. Who said these are for gamin? But, Yes, we are watching SD go down the drain in realtime. : ( I notice the censorship of posts from retailers which don't give them click-through revenue. Plus, I think their now feeding me targeted non-deals. End of an era?

I mean, not really, unless by gaming you mean 1080p low settings or 720p medium settings at 45 fps.

Battery is poor in all 12th gen laptops compared to Ryzen. However, this laptop has better cooling than most similarly priced 12th gen laptops like HP Pavilion 14 and Envy series, Dell Inspiron 5000 and 7000 series 14 inch laptops and that is true for last 2 generations of this laptop. Also, it pushes a lot of wattage to the CPU and can maintain that for longer duration.

Wouldn't recommend. My hinge just exploded with regular use. Had to fight with support to get it fixed and sounds like a recurring problem.

September 2021. Happened 6 months after. Not the same exact SKU but same chassis. The screws for the hinge are screwed into brittle plastic that broke off. I actually loved the hinge since it was a one finger lift but clearly wasn't supported properly. This is exactly what happened to mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/MSILapto...14_hinges/

I know a lot of people on SD still use a lot of old laptops for their daily use which is commendable. But this 12th gen has an google Octane of over 80,000 to ballpark the web "speed." Yes, it's an old test but it is very handy for just gauging mindless web surfing. You are surfing a lot slower than you think you are on older chips.

I've been seeing many more laptops have the rear feet after the hinge and on the display side. Does this worry anyone? Hinges don't seem to have gotten better over the years, even in premium laptops.

He gave a perfectly valid statement about the RDNA 3 based Integrated Graphics performance of 660M and 680M and both are faster than Intel's Iris Xe Graphics with 96 EU, even within the 12th Gen CPU with 45W TDP. The U and P series versions are even slower. I get it that you're an Intel fanboy and literally go to every thread to downplay AMD but never bothered to provide a single review for reference. Below is the Notebookcheck.net page for Radeon 660M with all the comparisons. As per their ranking, Radeon 660M has a 12% higher score than Intel Iris Xe Max Graphics, the dedicated version of 96 EU Iris X graphics, with 4GB dedicated memory. But feel free to share those reviews where Iris Xe 96 EU version within same power limit, performing similar to 660M.

In isolation, maybe. With lots of tabs a newer machine makes a decent difference even doing mundane tasks like aimlessly browsing the internet.

Ys, it can. But don't expect very high FPS at 1080p.
