Excellent gaming laptop with a few annoying issues

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not going to go in great detail with a review about the obvious as you can simply read others reviews about this laptop all over the internet. I will say one thing about this laptop - it's a powerhouse. It can handle anything that you throw at it at 80+ fps with everything maxed out.
Like I said above, rather than write a full review, I'm going to point out some "what you gotta do's" when you buy this as well as point out some possible "deal breakers."
**To the people who are thinking about purchasing this or already have it and are noobs - pay close attention to the following...
There are 3 things that you want to do with this as soon as you buy it.
1. Replace the 1TB hard drive. It' will get rid of the lag that you will hear people complaining about that have this model and the previous 6RF model.
2. Do a fresh install of Windows 10. Wipe all of the MSI junk and bloatware off of this laptop. You're stupid if you don't. Sorry to be harsh but if you'd prefer to keep the MSI junk just re-download it after you preform a fresh install. You'll thank me later.
3. Undervolt the CPU. As with most gaming laptops, the CPU is fed too much unnecessary power and causes temps to jump into the mid 90's while gaming. If you think this is OK then you're nuts. Simply go on youtube and search how to undervolt the i7 7700hq and download either program and undervolt the core by 0.100 volts. You'll notice that the CPU never goes over 85 celsius.
Also, for those that want to know - these are the temps that I'm getting after doing everything mentioned above.
Idle GPU(nvidia) - 50 celsius
Idle CPU - 45 celsius(down from 55-60 celsius before undervolting)
Gaming GPU(nvidia) - 85 celsius playing GTA 5
Gaming CPU - 82 celsius playing GTA 5(down from 95 degrees)
**Also, if you've ever heard of coil whining, be prepared to become it's best friend owning this laptop. There's an ambient yet sometimes annoying whining noise coming from the i7 kaby lake CPU when you have the power setting set to high performance. Set it to balanced to reduce the noise. Also, after undervolting it will also reduce the noise a little more so that you won't hear it anymore unless you try to hear it, if that makes any sense.
Any questions, reply to my review and I'll try to help out.
