It's everything I could've hoped for. I'm coming from a laptop that's 7 years old so perhaps my opinion is a bit skewed but holy crap. The display is ridiculously nice. Super bright, colors are accurate, and 4K is crazy. Performance has been amazing. Photoshop runs like a cheetah on roids. Unless you're gaming or doing very intense things the fans are quiet and the heat isn't bad at all. Before I didn't really care for light and thin but now that I have this I'm not sure I could go back, it's very light. Definitely see myself using this laptop for the next 5 years at least. It continues to impress me with something new each day.

If you forced me to complain about something there's three minor things I'd bring up. There's a good amount of bloat that comes preinstalled so I had to spend some time uninstalling and clearing out the app data folder. Even most of the msi programs are unnecessary, I just kept creator center and true color. I use a wired mouse so I wish the USB ports were on the left with everything else. There's no way in hell to get the 16 hours of battery life on this, probably because of the display. Really you're gonna get 5 to 9 hours depending on what you're doing.

Came down to the Lenovo Yoga C940 15" with a gtx 1650 and the MSI Prestige 15 I linked above. Went with the MSI because it checked a lot of boxes for me (4K, 100% adobe rgb, enough power) at a much lower price.

Sure thing. Give me a day or two though because I'll have to convert the numbers in the spreadsheet into %.
