Rated 5 out of 5

It is the best 4090 laptop, PERIOD..

Almost 22k on TimeSpy, need I say more?! Shreds any and everything I've thrown at it. The MSI Portal to control everything makes everything so much simpler. Best part is you can custom fan curves when in High Performance mode with the +200 over clock going on so it doesn't sound like a plane taking off. I have all mine set to 40 and it runs perfectly fine <3
