Deal Details
Yes, the screen sucks but it does come with a 27 month warranty via MSI (24 months plus 3 additional months for survey). Great system for the price. The screen can be replaced but it is kind of a pain as they tape the original one in... Lots of laptop for the price if you replace or do not mind the screen or use a monitor.

Man, you have to remove a ton of screws to get that back off to just install some ram.... Wish they just made an easy access panel for simple stuff like that.

Almost bit, but was able to talk myself out of it.

I have this exact laptop. I'm very happy with it. but you're right about all the screws are required to remove just to access the ram modules. The screen color accuracy leaves a lot to be desired though.

Edit title please!
You HAVE to use Zip financing, not affirm!
It'll add I think $6 to the total.
Otherwise, the code is immediately removed once you go to review the other.

I bought this laptop for $1500 new last time it was posted here.
Used a ZIP promo, paid off immediately after, but there was a hard credit check (it's a loan after all).
The screen is OK, I use it with an external monitor anyways most of the time.
Upgraded RAM to 64GB DDR5 (2x32) and 2x4Tb SSDs. I'd say for $1249 it's a steal.
Maybe I'll do the screen upgrade next, already had to replace LCD on my old Lenovo once - it's a hassle, but doable as long as you're careful to not to break flimsy plastic parts and brackets.

The screen on this one is taped in and kind of a pain to remove without destroying the old panel.

Its not a loan but a payment plan that hits a credit card of yours. No hard credit check was done.

Where did you get this warranty info from? Seems like a good buy if this is correct
