The outside case design looks to be more than simply inspired by Alienware 15 R3/R4. Which of course make it an improvement on the usual tacky MSI design.

Alienware looks pretty tacky too.
Not a fan of unnecessary light strips everywhere, it really adds nothing and gets old quick.
Great performance but way too loud under load , disgustingly loud.

This looks like a great product, but I think it's a slight mismatch of cpu/gpu, my personal opinion would be to go with the i7-10750H, increase in price versus performance is not justified in my book, the thermal limits of the case impede on performance on more heat generating combinations. Screen wise I think 144hz is awesome, 240hz could be future proof, but 300hz, I think is just an excessive splurge, to say the least. The light strip might be cool at first, but will get old soon, good thing you can disable it. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised when MSI went with the 82wh battery, but now with the 99.99wh battery, my jaw just dropped, they sure are going in a direction I like a lot. When I upgrade in a few years, deciding between the GS or the GE will be much more difficult than in the past.

This looks like a fantastic laptop. Great thermals, very good design (especially the Dragonshield edition which looks dope), and good battery life.

Does the laptop support type C charging?

No charging with the USB-C.

Amélie Lacroix i think you want to be funny - how can you say great thermals while in Witcher test the cpu got at 100 celsius? i'd throw out through window any laptop with such "great" thermals
