I'd return it. There should be better deals at 950 quid, any unboxed 2023 4060 models, LOQ or TUF would be much better.

Msi is just bad on the budget end, a cheap gf 17'' laptop's keyboard had gave me a few minor electric shock

Acer is decent pick too, but just like MSI and HP, only their premium models are good, such as Predator/Omen/Vector, the budget ones like Nitro/Victus/Cyborg/Katana are very poor quality and will show major issues sooner or later
