COSONauts I need help. Thinking of buying this for my kid for birthday. Haven't bought one for a while.

Is this ok? MSI GS76 Stealth Gaming Notebook, 17.3"FHD, Intel Core i7-11800H, RTX3080, 32 GB DDR4 , 1TB SSD, Windows 10 Pro, GS76 Stealth 11UH-029

@LostTheCoinToss Well you seem like a good egg, ok but I warn you I have high expectations & am very strict! (sometimes 😂 )

@TempestFugit i7: Best you can get (very few i9s out there, so don't bother), RTX 3080 best you can get, 32G DDR4 GREAT! and a terabyte SSD?? YYYYEEEESSSSS!!

@LostTheCoinToss Huge relief. TY. I used to be really up on this stuff,but have gotten out date, so thought with all the techies on CoSo I would get some good feedback. He deserves it, he's been working on a 5yr old Dell (that was $400 new) LOL! Amazed the thing works!

@TempestFugit (From my work PC, but my MSI is at home, similar specs)

@TempestFugit That machine should serve him very well for at least a little while. 👍

@TempestFugit It's that RTX3080 that's the biggest difference. Beats anything I have at home.

@kel Oh good to hear. I am planning ahead a bit here, I think he's going to be doing alot of 3D modelling and I tend to prefer gaming setups for graphics, they tend to work well. IMHO (but it's been a while).

@TempestFugit That's my experience too.

RTX3080 is mid-range for ray tracing, so yeah. Should serve him very well.

Lucky lad! 👍
