Quite a decent machine for work and some modern games, with the ability to switch between integrated and discrete graphics. You can flexibly adjust the fan speeds through MSI Center. During stress tests, the processor consumes ~60-65 watts, and while gaming, the consumption is ~35-45 watts. The cooling system is good but insufficient; the CPU temperatures rose to nearly 90 degrees, GPU ~ 75-80.
Windows 11 works fine if you have a drive with drivers for wifi, LAN, and Bluetooth, as the system does not automatically install them, making network connection impossible.
Windows 10 cannot install drivers for some devices; manual installation does not help, and Bluetooth does not work.
Linux Fedora works well except for the brightness adjustment with Fn keys. FPS is 10-15% higher than on Windows. Downsides include no ability to switch graphics, inability to set fan curves, and similar temperatures as on Windows. With RTX, GNOME works strangely with glitches.
In advanced UEFI settings, you can choose a preset for the processor, set its maximum temperature, and some limits. You can also adjust the fan speeds, but they do not work. Switching graphics is only possible through MSI Center on Windows. After all settings, restrictions, undervolting, and overvolting the graphics card, I achieved stable frequencies and temperatures: CPU - 35-45 degrees during regular tasks on Linux (NO RTX). In games (Windows): CPU = 75-80, GPU - 60-75. Battery life (Linux), brightness -75%, YouTube ~ 6 hours on integrated graphics.
Possibility to customize, advanced UEFI, MUX, keyboard backlighting, cooling system, possibility to add a drive, RAM.
Some advanced UEFI settings do not work, lack of mounting for a second M.2 drive, the case collects fingerprints, keyboard (for some reason, mine is warped), brightness, number of ports, sometimes WiFi disconnects (Complete power off helps - disconnect the PSU, press and hold the power button until it starts blinking, once it stops - release it, reconnect the PSU and turn it on).
