I like the specs and scope for expansion. It is a beast and light weight at the same time.

It has 6 cores, 4gb dedicated graphics, RAM can be expanded to 64gb (going by video in YouTube), it has additional SSD slot, 2 thunderbolt ports, can do matrix display (simultaneous connect 2 monitors). 4 cell battery (can do easily 7-8 hours with good continuous use).

Build quality is not bad; does not heat up for normal working (software development). I have not played any heavy games though but 2...

Bought this in November. I already hv 20% battery wear. For that battery capacity. I should be getting 6 hours atleast. Now I I don't even get proper 3 hours.

The hinge is smooth. And it's also delicate.

The display is not laminated. So surrounding plastic might be pressing on it and I observed a whitish tint in the corner.

The performance of the i7 is very good. It's fast laptop. No doubt abt that. The display quality is very good. The colours are vibrant.

This has a GTX 1650 graphics c...

pros
1. Nice metallic design and i love the keyboard
2. Display is good excellent brightness
3. Battery back is impressive give around 5-6 hours min
4. Performance is excellent

cons
the only con i noticed is that while charging it get pretty heated at upper keyboard portion other than this laptop is awesome.

Would have been better if msi provides 1TB ssd instead of 500GB. Otherwise it's absolutely fine

Guys remember this is a ultra thin notebook, hence if you want to play games, it will heat up badly and thermal throttle which will hinder performance!

I learnt how to undervolt my cpu and change my gpu clock frequency and BOOM, the laptop is cool as a cucumber while gaming.

Business users need not worry about it!

Great battery, good 1080p display (60hz) and keyboard!

SSD could have been 1tb for the price

Oh the CPU is just crazy powerful and one of the reasons you should really undervol...

Speed is everything and that MSi gives.
It is one of the best laptop.👍👍
Go for it.🥰

I have MSI PS42 as well.. working fine for last 2 years ..
This models hinge gave away in 3 months... The service center guy said that its and common issue and due to unavailability of parts it will take 3 weeks to a month to fix this.
Also this model heats up a lot.
Shame on MSI.

Light weight, easy to handle
Performance is great.
6 hours of battery backup (was doing initial development env setup while testing battery. e.g. install Visual Studio, VSCode, Docker etc)

Overall, seems like a good choice!

An amazing laptop . There are only 1 problems
1. sound quality is good but max volume is low

It's great deal for the developer and coders.
I loved the display and color.
Performance is best. You can work intellij, vscode, chrome, postman all together. Battery backup also good.
If someone faces any issue with battery just do the calibration.
