Its review, not long-term usage report.
But it looks like your specific model wasnt ever tested by them - there are only external reviews.
On the other hand, I'd never get an MSI, because its always been more so-so in actual RL tests.
Mainboards and GPUs? All cool. They tend to be more on the conservative side, but most of the time solid and reliable performance.
Cases and laptops? Nah, skippidi skip.
For gaming, my go-to brands would have been the Lenovo Legion (Pro) [ispoiler]which I eventually skipped, because of the currently horrid Linux support, which had been a huge negative surprise, as the ThinkPad series paved a lot of ways for proper Linux and power saving support[/ispoiler], Asus ROG Zephyrus / TUF, or Acer Predator. As of recent years, Framework has been looking very good, too.
A lot of issues can only be figured out when reading up stuff on forums etc. So whatever I intend to buy, I research a lot.
For ThinkPad and related stuff, ThinkPad-Forum.de is one of the best sources, because people really now their sh ..tuff, not just with ThinkPad but a lot of other brands.
In lieu of causa Intel: What can they - notebookcheck & other reviewers - do? Manufacturers clearly favor Intel, although Ryzen on mobile has been equivally performant, but much more efficient for quite a few years.
