  Is MSI the only one that hasn't released a AMD-based laptop utilizing Ryzen 5000?

  I would definitely go for a GE76 with a Ryzen 5800H. That would be a really nice laptop.

  WTH does "IPS-Level" mean? My paranoia suspect's it's some sort of garbage screen whose only virtue is fast refresh but looks like a puddle of vomit after the marketing dept drank their local bar dry on the first day after lockdown ended.

  Might mean VA/TN panel + additional layer that improves viewing angles similar to what Samsung does on their TVs.

  It means it uses similar technology to IPS with the same results, but isn't actually based on the IPS patents.
  
  I think a lot of OEMs use the phrase because the competing equivalent technologies - PLS and AHVA - don't have the same brand clout as IPS. Another advantage would be that they can multi-source from any of those technologies.

  It means VA, pretty much same thing as IPS but sacrifices a little bit of color for better response time.

  Couldn't help but notice MSI continues to use the same terrible hinge design that breaks after repeated use....even after loosening them.
