Editor's Note:
Without a doubt, a unique device. On this occasion, what draws the most attention is the Intel chip. Instead of using an AMD CPU, like the rest of the competition, MSI has opted for something different. While this could make it stand out, the battery, one of the most important elements, remains in line with what we have already seen.
