Overall, the laptop is great. I ordered the one with the smaller hard drive as I already had plans on swapping existing SSD's into the unit that were larger and performed better. I was surprised to see a Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD in the unit that was a decent performer which I considered a bonus as I was expecting one of lesser quality. The laptop is gorgeous. The screen is beautiful and the blacks are amazing. Physically, this thing is great but slightly flimsy which was done to cut down on weight, so "I get it". On the lesser side of things, the drive partitioning was weird. I had a 256GB drive that had two separate partitions, a 133GB partition for C: (Windows OS) and an 88GB for D: (Data?). Odd to say the least. Also, when I booted into a live linux USB and fired up gparted to fix this, I noticed that there was a partition in between the two making it a little more challenging than simply deleting a partition and expanding the other. Now, I had to delete the "data" partition, move the offending "in-betweener" partition and then expand the Windows OS partition. Next was removing as much bloatware as possible. Windows 10 bloatware, MSI bloatware, you name it, it's on there. So essentially, it took the better part of a day to get the laptop "where I wanted it" which in my opinion is a little much. The BIOS. There are no options for memory speed settings or XMPP profiles. There are no temperature monitoring settings. Spartan to say the least. The laptop is advertised as supporting memory up to 2666mhz, yet when I installed 3200mhz ram, it did not "auto-detect" the new ram speed or 2666mhz, nor were there any settings in the bios to adjust the timings or speed. This must be addressed by MSI. There are two slots for m.2 SSD drives but the motherboard is flipped upside-down so one must remove the motherboard from the laptop in order to install/change the ram or the hard drive. The "Killer" wifi was horrible. I changed it out with an Intel 9260 and am much happier.
Installed an additional SSD and installed Linux and now couldn't be happier with the laptop. It has it's flaws, but with some work, it is a gem.
