Design
The MSI Sword 16 is a laptop that looks great, but the hardware left something to be desired. My copy suffered from stuttering USB ports that regularly stopped working for unknown reasons. Firmware/driver updates were of no use, which is why I eventually returned the laptop.
I also experienced that the MSI software (MSI Center) did not work properly. It did not control the Cooler Boost properly. Finally, I found that the touchpad was very awkward to use. I often pressed incorrectly by touch, which meant that I really had to look at what I was doing. For me, the placement of the touchpad was therefore not very intuitive.
In short, a laptop that looks good and has very good specs on paper. But in practice (in my case) does not deliver what it promises.
