Well all my MSI laptops are purchases from end 2015 to today, so some recent, otheres not so much, but they are all Intel based CPUs,Received my MSI AMD 4090 RTX Raider today. 1st step. Tomorrow my Crucial 96 Gb for it. Next week a 4TB Samsung 990Pro SSD drive for the gaming drive.
So MichelN86 this will all go together with Pop OS as my "OS". The bare-bones 1TB drive will be removed along with the 32 GB of ram.
Then comes the goodies. My Pop OS will run on a Samsung 2 TB 990 Pro drive, games on the 4 TB Samsung 990 Pro with 96 GB of Crucial DDR5 ram. Then game on.
How much? A little over 4 grand. I purchased a 4 year warranty with this one. So with the one year MSI warranty, that's 5 years, which includes being dropped & breakage.
Unlike drek4 I only have 3 "working" MSI laptops (& one slightly burnt/toasted one), for awhile I will keep a Windows install on one. The oldest one, because I luv dicking with Windows when I feel in a good mood.
Amazon & eBay both have &/or are funny. Right now the word is internet scamming is up 85%. So, the best answer is to bare with it .
Well, I couldn't wait for the next wave of the latest/greatest laptops & this will do. For me, I don't under estimate the power of a "derp" in charge. come Jan/20th.
After I'm done putting this together, I'll report back here on how this MSI AMD Raider performs. Hey, drek4 if you have ANY pointers, I'm ALL ears !
Windows is still trying to update my expired OS/21H2 to a also expired OS (22H2)??? Maybe they figure that sumtin updated is better than nothing, NOPE!
The flaming GL76 12th Gen will also go to a Pop OS, it's goodbye Windows on that one too !
I'm coming MichelN86 & will be joining you on the other side!
This laptop comes with a Killer WIFI 7 card/aka Intel. Someone I know claims he has connection issues with it, that the WIFI 7 card is being dropped.
Hopefully that will be the only Intel driver ??? Come on man it's has a AMD processor!!! No Smart Sound is needed!
MichelN86 does Pop OS use Nahimic?
so would be difficult for me to give you advice on the BIOS, since the only AMD based laptops I have are my G14s.
But I installed G-Helper, a little better than Armoury crate, but for power management, it's awesome on th G14s.
