What Buyers Say
MSI PRO DP21 MS-B0A4 Black 2024
78 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The MSI PC is widely praised for its compact size, speed, and quiet operation, making it ideal for small spaces and mobility needs. However, one verified buyer reported severe issues with incompatible RAM installed by the seller PCOnline, causing random reboots and poor customer support. A few users noted minor inconveniences like a price drop the next day or needing an adapter for older monitors, but overall the hardware itself is considered reliable and good value.
