Best praise vs top criticism for XMG NEO 15 (2021)

Best Praise
+19 pts
“The XMG is among the only laptops you can find with a 9955HX3D and a 5090. If you're not afraid of a bit of "Wasser" it's bar none the fastest gaming laptop, when you use it at home as a desktop that is... Which is, I'm guessing, what you're after, with practically unlimited € amount. 275HX has some advantages in some areas but not enough to matter if it's the case. And you seem to be going out of your way to not have an OLED.”

“that’s my only thing about miniled, is i’d rather have glossy+potential burn in over blooming. not that miniled=bad blooming, but just as laptops don’t have the best AR coating for oled, i don’t expect them to have high dimming zone count, or really good algorithm, maybe in a high quality mini led monitor sure. plus maybe a few days ago, xmg released an email about how their miniled is having issues with gsync, plus msi doesn’t support gsync, or so i’ve read briefly on reddit lol. i do think overall when miniled has minimal blooming, and becomes cheaper to produce, it would be the better choice over oled.”
