Just bought the MSi PS42 temporarily for me and later on for my gf. Can't believe the price compared to other brands, all with 16GB of RAM, a nice MX150, 512 of SSD, 14" thin laptop. To get MX150 + 16 + 512 on a thin "not too big, not too small" high-quality laptop on other brands you have to go towards double the price I payed for this one. It'll arrive next week (supposedly). Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Considering the price, wattage, and size of this, I'm guessing the i9 they're using is the mobile variant.
