There are some negative reviews if you scroll down: "If you are looking for a good laptop with build quality i suggest you should NOT go for MSI.

If you were in the market for a laptop, what would you buy?

Tonight, I'm going to present a new dish on the forum.
What you see here is a filet mignon of pork. It is topped with boletus and oyster mushrooms.

Once again, did you tie those strings or does it come that way from the supermarket?

Actually this filet mignon was already tied up because it was stuffed with excellent mushrooms. Unlike rôtis, I'm not certain filet mignons always come tied if not stuffed.
Note that I used the French expression "filet mignon", but upon verification I think its meaning is different in English. It appears the expression "filet mignon" is a cut of meat taken from the smaller end of the tenderloin of a cow in English while it mostly refers to cuts of pork tenderloin in French. So the translation for "filet mignon de porc" is rather pork tenderloin instead of filet mignon of pork.

My GL63 8RC was something i purchased after thinking a lot. The hinges broke in the first year itself. The body panel started to break. The screen is cracking when you open it. At one point i thought the screen woud just come out of the hinges.

Terrible build quality. Apart from that performance is good and heating is slightly concerning as it is a laptop and not a lap grill.

Please look for other options as i had a bad experience i don't want this for anyone else. There are alternatives like asus ROG, Omen and dell."

I am also biased against MSI due to the negative opinion of a friend of mine. I don't use MSI. Never used it before.

@humbert There have been some occasional reports about quality issues, especially with screen hinges (for instance https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-about-MSI-laptop-quality-Will-it-last-for-more-years). It has been mentioned by Vasudev above.

I took a look at the link and all I'm seeing is praise. Based on my experience I'd have to agree. If there is some mention of hinges somewhere, I didn't see it. Maybe it had this problem a few years back and they got around to fixing it.

Tonight, new videos are available for the users of the forum.
A documentary about Qatar, the richest country in the world (in French with English subtitles).

I wanted to take a look at this video but it blocked in the USA. Even setting up my VPN to go through a server in France didn't work. Is there a download site or program that gets around these limitations?

Look carefully at the photos below.

What you see here is a filet mignon of pork. It is topped with boletus and oyster mushrooms.


Once cooked in a large stockpot, the fillet is served with pasta and avocado, this is a good dish. Note that the beverage is a craft beer.


This recipe certainly aligns with Vasudev and shadow.97's eclectic yet refined tastes for food.

Yes I did them myself. For the rest, take a guess.

I'll assume that's a yes. No ladies in your life, or do they come and go? [If you don't mind telling me]

You forgot to tell me what city you're in now. In the time I've known you, you've lived in no less than 10 places. Last I heard you were in Grenoble. Still there?

I know from experience that moving ain't cheap. How do you manage it?
