Great deal for emerging tech

I was looking at upgrading my laptop to something more "modern" to replace my 19yr old workhorse that was limited by hardware to go Win 11, as well as recently finding out some apps I wanted to run were not capable. Looking into some that run games as well as function, I had narrowed it down to several brands and homing into a different model of MSI when this one came on sale. For the price offered and the specs, it was very attractive but as previously it was out of my budget I didn't even look at it. Needless to say, I was impressed. Screen resolution, installed RAM, 2.5G ethernet, AI, the list goes on. I dived into online reviews and found one site that did many comparisons, and this model they actually listed no cons in their review that it had checked all the standards they used for build and performance and I looked at several others that I thought would be comparable but surprisingly had several cons compared to this Stealth. I knew I had found my new workhorse. On arrive it was flawless. Packaged well to survive most carriers, 2 power supply included (which honestly, impressed me most about my purchase being correct as is just doing right for the customer), and a strikingly attractive case. Setup is what it is on any new PC, it takes time. It will probably take several days to get it "right" as I want, but it has been going very well so far. Plus learning all the new features this one can do is impressive to say the least. Best thing about this is the model Stealth is highly accurate. It doesn't have all the "flash" that many gaming computers have, and as one that will be used in other settings and environments it is welcomed to have the performance with the discretion. I am sure I will enjoy this laptop in the time to come. MSI is solid in build and reputation. Highly recommend this laptop, and MSI.
