As far as the system goes though...it's pretty snappy. Ran Days Gone at 60fps on high with very few drops. Screen isn't horrible and the temps were both under 80 the whole time.
Just a hunch.

it does come with a 170W charger
Added another 8GB stick on the open slot
upgraded the SSD to 2TB (there is a second m2 slot, which made clone easy)
Battery life is weak (2 hours of web browsing)
Does have mux switch (can disable dedicated GPU)
Completely silent when web browsing
Using as a desktop replacement and one thing that I have not figured out yet, is how to turn it on without opening the lid
I bought the HP Victus with GTX 1650 for $499 first, but returned it due to fan noise. For $100 more I got RTX 3050, a second m2 slot, and a quiet laptop.

I know the MSI sword has an i7 but 11th generation and a rtx 3050 ti, but is it worth the extra 170 or should I get the lenovo ideapad. I generally play games like overwatch 2, fortnite.. Thanks.
