MSI Aegis ZS2 Black 2025
65 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews
This prebuilt desktop receives mixed feedback. Many users praise its performance, quiet fans, and value for money, calling it a steal. However, several verified buyers report serious issues: a defective mouse with no replacement offered, a power supply fan failure, video cutouts requiring support, and a warranty that started from the manufacture date, leaving under three months of coverage. The overall sentiment is split between excellent value and significant reliability and support concerns.

Cons
