We use this company at my work. The sales guy I use to order equipment is really helpful. Nothing but good experiences from my experience at work.
Regarding the question on scratch and dent, I see they have a description.

Seems like a great replacement for my thinkpad x280 that bricked a few weeks ago. How are MSI laptops? Anyone use this one or similar products before?
MSI is a good manufacturer. I'm using a newer Katana to type this, and it has been great. The have had a lot of well-documented hinge problems in the past, but the one I have has no such issues.
I had a MSI Stealth from like 2015. That was a fantastic laptop that had a major flaw - the plastic internals completely cracked around the hinges. I was able to to a hacky but secure fix involving a drill, some nuts & bolts, and mending plates, and that laptop still runs surprisingly well today. I got lucky and I'm handy, but I don't know that you could fix most of them that easily (or sloppily, LOL). All that said, I wouldn't shy away from another one from their Stealth line, as the hinge issues have largely been resolved, and they're slick machines.

How does this perform compared to the 2021 Asus G14 with Ryzen 9 5900HX and RTX 3060 (80w boost) 🤔

I wonder how badly "scratched and dented" it actually is.

Several deals have been posted from this site in the past, including FP deals.
