off $600 from RRP.
Its OKAY for the price, with the new Intel ulta chipsets (basically 15th gen) this laptop is about 2 generations behind. If you want an office work style laptop this would do, but if you want gaming laptops there are other deals posted previously that come quite close to the price and specs.
39.3Wh battery and 16GB soldered RAM for those wondering. Battery capacity in particular is smaller than average and could be an issue.
39.3Wh battery is taking the absolute piss.
Similar model can be found cheaper here: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/laptops-&-notebooks/lapt…

That model is the newer model, it has non-soldered RAM and a slightly better build quality.
Definitely a better deal than this one.
with MSI:
if you see them cheap in price, most likely they are cheap in quality/spec/build
otherwise, they will be overpriced compare with others similar spec from different brand.Mediocre screen
Maybe $499 then you can give it a go …
If you're not married to an OS then it'd be worth spending (admittedly almost 50%) more and get a MacBook Air, if your budget can reach. It'll hold value unlike this one.
Screen is a bit dim with poor colour accuracy, and the battery is small.
It's an okay laptop, but this is just a regular sale price — you'd be absolutely out of your mind to pay $1500 for it
Is it a Good Buy?
You obviously think so, that's why you listed it as a bargain.
13th gen is from 2023
U CPUs are typically the worst from performance perspective. But less overheating, and, therefore, longer life.
As someone who uses a laptop witth a 13th gen U-series CPU, it's absolutely more than adequate for everyday basic tasks and office work
Is this a deal? If not why post it here
