Pros and Cons

MSI Pulse 15

Strengths

The MSR pulse 15 is a more entry level notebook from the gaming brand which aims to deliver Artic 4060 gaming without breaking the bank... it's not the aim of this notebook, it is meant to be a portable 1080p piece of hardware and it definitely succeeds
The 1080p model is definitely the budget option and for those who want a 360 HZ panel perhaps a more competitive gamer the MSR pulse 15b 13v comes in a simple brown box which includes the notebook and the 240 W power adapter
The display takes up a good amount of real estate on the top lid and the keyboard features a four Zone backlighting and also comes with a number pad... the WD keys are also translucent for that whole gaming feel
The MSR pulse 15 definitely comes with everything you need to play games while it won't play them at the highest possible settings and resolution... image quality was also great and the colors were vibrant
The performance benchmarks, I then played some games and ran some tests across a number of titles when it came to Thermal testing the MSR pulse 15 held up as well as you would expect

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

Samsung Galaxy Book4

Strengths

The keyboard is okay, I could get used to it in an hour or so
It got over 11 hours of battery life in our endurance test which is incredible especially given this has an OLED display
The speakers are fine, mids seem pretty decent
The webcam is good, looks nice and clear and crisp
We have a fingerprint reader up here on the right hand side which is on top of the power button best spot to have it
It's got a vapor chamber which is how we were able to extract those 80 Watts out of the 40/50 processor
The battery life is incredible
The RTX 4050 is a powerful GPU, great for gaming and content creation

Weaknesses

The price is $2400 with 16 GB of RAM 1 TB SSD and RTX 4050 which is outrageous and doesn't match the value
It's got like a couple medium compromises like the keyboard's okay trackpads kind of weird
The Wi-Fi card is soldered down so if you want Wi-Fi 7 I don't know just don't buy this laptop
The price makes no sense compared to other laptops with similar specs and features
You could get a Zephyris G16 for $22,000 that has the same amount of RAM and storage but an RTX 470
It's available with up to a 470 and that config is $3,000 which is still overpriced
The price of this laptop is a sin, it's got like a couple medium compromises
It doesn't have facial recognition despite its high price tag
