So it is impossible to buy a laptop and more when it is shown that ZEN 4 Phoenix is far superior to Intel's 13Gen and its Intel Xe iGPU and more when people in professional forums demand AMD Zen 4 Phoenix.

No professional is crazy enough to buy MSI to begin with, they always score the lowest in reliability. And I can attest to that, in my life I only had 3 laptops fail. One laptop was due to using faulty Nvidia chipsets that Nvidia knew were defective, and the other 2 were MSI. Otherwise, every laptop I ever bought still works to this day

Its also a stretch to call rehashed Barcelo Zen 3 silicon released at the start of last year as "modern". "Refreshed" is definitely appropriate

I'll grant that the aesthetics are clean, but the "Modern" branding comes across as incredibly forced for a product line that's still using 16:9 displays.
