Pros and Cons

MSI Vector 16 HX

Strengths

MSI took those high-end specs and put them in a laptop that skips out on some of the things that add to the cost of these laptops. All of the performance with none of the fluff.
The gaming experience overall was fantastic. It's not an OLED panel, so the blacks aren't the blackest, and the brightness isn't maximum as you can get out of some screens. However, who's going to be gaming in direct sunlight?
Overall, I actually do think MSI succeeded with dropping the price for a top-spec gaming device and yet still making it fun and exciting to use.
The keyboard itself is really decent to type on. I really enjoy a chiclet-style keyboard like this one.

Weaknesses

It's very loud when you're gaming, especially when using the laptop standard, which makes it difficult to sneak in a gaming session at work
The laptop gets hot during gaming sessions, although it doesn't get too hot to handle.
The ports come out the back of the laptop, but this may cause cable clutter and take away from the overall aesthetic of the device
It weighs 2.7 kilograms, which is a bit heavy for some users

Microsoft Surface Pro 10

Strengths

The display is really great and there's a real Improvement here compared to the Surface Pro 9.
The camera at the front has been improved compared with the Surface Pro 9, it's visibly larger and supports Windows Studio Effects.
Windows Hello facial recognition works great as usual, allowing you to unlock the tablet quickly and securely.
The keyboard is magnetically connected to the tablet and works exactly the same way as its predecessor, making a very high quality impression.
The Surface Pro 10 is a really good Windows tablet if you don't mind the high price.

Weaknesses

The battery life was very disappointing, it achieved a runtime of 4.75 hours in my test, compared to up to 19 hours claimed by Microsoft.
The performance hasn't really improved from the Surface Pro 9.
If you don't work outside in the sun all the time, I don't think it makes sense to upgrade from the pro 9 to the Pro 10.
All other features are almost the same as the Surface Pro 9, which means that upgrading may not be worth it for everyone.
The device is quite expensive and if you want to save some money you can get a tablet that is almost as good with the Surface Pro 9.
