    Hi,
    After I saw the offer on the laptopparts4less.frl I was intriged by two things.
    First, I dont know if the different barebone name compared to the tornado f5 one make any difference.
    Second, on the website one picture for the MS 16L3 show golden plated Jack, is this true to the reality.
    Is there some one with the MS 16L3 Who can relate from this and showing me some pictures of the internals (?) or the exterior ( especially the Jack).
    Thanks

    These are whitebook units, and these models are somewhat different from each other. Let's wait from other resellers who carry these models to answer your questions. :)

    I wanted to buy the ms16l13 1060 version and a desktop processor, but with the 8th gen of intel processor it seems that z270 is no compatible...
    However in find this whitebook beautiful with his stealthy look.. The dilemma is strong within my head

    The difference between the MS-16L1 and 16L3 is that the 16L3 has the Z270 chipset, Optane support and golden audio jacks. The 16L3 does not support the 8th gen intel processors.

    Unfortunately MSI told us that they will not offer a substitute of the 16L1/16L3 with support for the 8th gen intel processors. Correct me if I'm wrong

    The fact that z270 can't support 8th gen intel processor....It makes me sad
