MSI Codex R2 Reviews

Not sure

By Andrew
Rated 2 out of 5

Not sure if it is worth the money. Bought this PC for video editing and it isn't fast. Half the time I am waiting for files folders to open wondering why I spent so much not to improve my speed. Premiere Pro drags. I wonder if I bought a lemon. Sometimes it is quick. But not a majority of the time.

Great so far

My son (age 13) saved up and purchased this for himself. He's been using it for a few weeks, and so far it's doing a great job of running the graphics-intensive games that used to crash the hand-me-down laptop he was using before. And the LED/backlighting effects in the chassis/keyboard/mouse are a very cool bonus.
