Pros and Cons

MSI Crosshair 15

Strengths

Gaming performance was great, I mean yeah sure, not quite as good as some other 3070 laptops with a MUX switch or higher GPU power limits, but regardless you'll be running modern games at 1440p decent settings no problem on this hardware.
The 1440p screen was quite good in terms of color gamut and brightness was acceptable. Response time was alright, but the overdrive mode didn't seem to do anything.
Shipping it with decent RAM was a plus
You can still use the up arrow key to max out the fans and keyboard lighting adjustment works too.

Weaknesses

The laptop was surprisingly poor considering the 90Wh size of the battery
The fans could use some tuning. The laptop is more audible compared to a lot of others, and it's either too loud or too quiet.
The screen wobble and weird touchpad problem were notable issues
The ports weren't amazing, USB 2.0 in 2022 feels a bit rough

LG gram 15

Strengths

The LG Gram 15 is ultra-light, weighing in at just 2.4 pounds, making it easy to carry around.
The laptop's magnesium alloy housing provides durability and flexibility, with a bit of flex on the bottom and top cases that makes it more drop-resistant.
The keyboard is large and has enough room for a full number pad, despite taking some time to get used to due to its off-center typing layout.
Battery life is impressive, with up to 12 hours on a full charge, and up to 17.5 hours on the smaller versions.

Weaknesses

The laptop's plastic-like feel when first picked up may raise concerns about durability, but this is mitigated by the magnesium alloy housing.
The glossy display can be difficult to see outside, although it has decent viewing angles and gets plenty bright.
The 720p camera is not great quality and requires a very bright room to reduce noise and grain in images.
Gaming performance may suffer with full settings, requiring some tone-down of graphics settings for smooth gameplay.

MSI Crosshair 15

The MSI Crosshair 15 is a gaming laptop that boasts impressive specs, but its value proposition remains uncertain. With a 1440p screen, 12th gen processor, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, it should deliver silky-smooth performance in modern games. However, its battery life falls short of expectations, and the cooling system could be more refined. The price tag also seems steep compared to similar laptops on the market. Can this gaming laptop justify its cost with strong performance and a unique design?

LG gram 15

The LG Gram 15 is an ultra-lightweight laptop that impresses with its compact design and impressive features. Weighing in at just 2.4 pounds, this device feels remarkably plastic despite being constructed from magnesium alloy. The added flex to the case may raise durability concerns, but it actually makes the laptop more drop-resistant. With a large 15.6-inch display, generous port selection, and decent battery life, the LG Gram 15 is an attractive option for those seeking a productivity-driven laptop without sacrificing performance.
