He is trying to say it runs very hot which is lie. There are plenty of reviewes available, praising this laptop and currently this is the cheapest option of a Ulra X series laptop with B390M igpu and 32GBB ram

Went to see the laptop in person at Costco. It was basically sitting idle just running the demo reel but the left side was considerably warmer than the right side like I've seen some reviewers say. Nice price but I think it's a pass.

A lot of people were reporting the same heat related issues in the link from the previous deal shared above.

Are you talking about this LG Gram pro for $1197?

2 months ago, this exact laptop deal had 175 👍. Why is this one not as popular?

I bought this laptop from Costco last time it was $1399 and it gets unbearably hot on the entire left side. The keyboard gets so hot you can't even touch it for long. It was just warm when running normal tasks in Eco Mode, but as soon as you tried running a game or did a render, the temps would spike and would thermal throttle (checked with HWinfo).

I wanted to love this laptop; was specifically looking for an Intel Ultra / Arc B390 based system and this checked all the boxes. Read/watched all the pro reviews, no mention of temps. There are MANY user reviews stating they had heat issues, so either there is a cooling system design issue or MSI has terrible QC with this laptop. I regrettably returned mine and am still looking for a deal on a similar laptop from another manufacturer.

You are the liar here. Multiple people confirmed this in the other thread posted above. I checked this laptop in two different Costco stores and it runs very hot. I wanted to buy it myself and this specific issue was the only reason I didn't buy it.

powerful 80watt CPU in a thin chassis will always cause thermal issues.

the 258v from last gen but upgrade for this gen would have been a perfect CPU in this

It is not 80W and maxed out at 55W, with a PL2 Boost up to 665W

I got this last week, and have been using it everyday, here are my takes on it.

Build Quality 8/10
It's not quite at the level of the XPS or MacBook, which are considerably heavier. For a thin and light laptop, the build quality is solid, with good hinges and no flex in the chassis. The keyboard is nice, though the trackpad is mediocre.

Value 10/10
$1400 with 32GB RAM and Intel X7, this is a steal in this RAMpocalypse. You won't find another laptop with this spec at this price.

Screen 10/10
This is something most reviewers overlook: it's an OLED screen with Gorilla Glass and anti-reflective coating. There are very few laptops with these features, and the ones that do are significantly more expensive.

Thermal 7/10
Out of the box, it runs hot because it ships with Norton and other bloatware pre-installed. After updating the BIOS and performing a clean Windows installation, and I disabled a lot of AI services, the device boots from power on to the login screen in roughly 10 seconds, and barely gets warm. Oh, and DO NOT install MSI Center back after the clean Window installation, because MSI Center launches a lot of services at startup, and the system has to run those in the background all the time, it takes over rams and makes the system runs a little hotter. It does heat up under heavy load, and the two small fans are concerning, but it cools down surprisingly fast. For typical day-to-day work like programming, it stays cool, if you plan to run heavy game in it, consider using a laptop stand or external cooler.

Picked one of these up and got hit with the Internal Memory Error, seems to be a known problem with this chipset. Tried all the usual fixes, BIOS update, SFC, DISM, driver reinstalls, none of it did anything. If you're getting this error don't bother troubleshooting, just return it.

Got a second unit and this one's been fine so far, no memory errors. Runs warm but not crazy hot or anything and the screen is beautiful.

Biggest issue now is the touchpad. Clicks miss sometimes and palm rejection is bad even after messing with the Windows touchpad settings. Might end up returning this one too due to the touchpad issue. Anyone else dealing with the touchpad problem?

Update: Returned the 2nd laptop with the touchpad issue. Brand new laptops shouldn't have any hardware problems out of the box. The quality control on these MSI laptops just seems terrible.
