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.

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

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.

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.
