Pros: Great notebook specs for the money . i done alot of research and found this to be the best bang for buck around. I am impressed with the quality of the product. The geforce 9600 gt is a nice midrange card that can play the lastest games with easy. I have already been playing Fallout 3 and Dead Space with no problems. The sound quality is excellent. This product is perfect for the traveling gamer that needs a good priced laptop to get his gaming fix. I watched the stress test videos on youtube and that was a big help to decide since there where no reviews at the time.
Cons: Windows Vista was a problem for me one my Dell. I hope SP1 has fixed alot of the bugs. No things bad to say so far about laptop. It performs just like the you would thing a geforce 9600 gt and 4 gigs of ram. The processor is a lil weak but for the price i will not complain at all.
Overall Review: I am really impress with MSI for make a good product with great specs. for a great price. MSI say their products are designed for a 6 year life expectance. I have been shopping a Newegg for 10 years and the service and speedy shopping experience still impress me to this day. My new MSI was in my hands 27 hours after i placed the order.That is pretty sweet since i live over 2000 miles away. Thanks Newegg keep up the good work.
