This computer has a lot of issues. 2 days out of the box, and the battery life is unable to last more than an hour. It stops charging while I am playing games, to prioritize the cpu and gpu. This is a setting MSI has made for the laptop. Even on low graphics the computer is unable to handle the games I would like to play, so it prioritizes the cpu/gpu over charging. The charging block gets scolding hot, and if the laptop is left to idle, you are met with a black screen and gray lines, looking as if the system just entirely crashed. I do not recommend.
