Strengths

The laptop is extremely light, weighing around 3 pounds, making it very portable.
It has a solid resolution and great screen overall, with super thin bezels.
The laptop can be used in either laptop or tablet mode, providing great versatility.
LG pairs this laptop with its own stylus, which comes included in the box and uses Wacom's Active 2.0 technology.
The laptop has a fingerprint reader, which is convenient for users.
It also features LG Glance, a neat feature that tracks your eyes to prevent onlookers from catching what's on your screen.

Weaknesses

The starter price of the laptop is a bit too high, starting at $1,500.
The laptop could use a dedicated GPU, especially at this price point.

Some users have complained about the screen wobble and fingerprint-sensitive chassis.
The thin-bendable frame makes it look less premium than other laptops in its class.

MSI Pulse GL66

Strengths

The laptop has a great combination for 1080p gaming, with an i7 11800s processor coupled with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU.
The thermal department is next level thanks to all of this dual fan setup and the next level heat pipes.
The battery life lasts around four hours which is decent considering it's a beefy gaming machine.
The webcam is surprisingly good, making it suitable for video calls and small video footage.

Weaknesses

The starting price of 1.4 lakhs may not be justified considering the competition from other brands like Acer and Asus at lower prices.
The panel isn't super bright and the body isn't lightweight either, which might be a concern for some users.
The fans get super loud to the point where you can't hear game audio, making it necessary to use headphones.
