MSI GX710-230A NoteBook AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-62(2.10GHz) 17.0" Wide SXGA+ 4GB Memory 250GB HDD DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

Fantastic specs. I've been too busy working on getting Linux up (see other thoughts) to do much gaming on it, but the specs are better than a lot of laptops at $1000. The screen is big and nice, and the bluetooth uses the Toshiba stack, which offers...

The touchpad is loud and stiff. Keys feel a bit cramped (the keys to the right of the letters, i.e. punctuation, are almost all half-size.) Only volume control on keyboard is with fn+F keys. Webcam seems to use some weird drivers

I've been shopping for a lappy since the summer and believe me, you can't find another laptop with these specs for this price. Loads of RAM, fast processor, great video card. Blows my desktop out of the water. I originally wanted a 15.4" screen but am...

The display went after about 3-4 hours of use. Rebooted hopeing it was a glitch, not even the bios would show. Tried to use a seperate monitor, no luck. MSI said this sometimes happens with mass produced electronics and that I should rma

The basic laptop is first rate. The display is beautiful and the Turion processor seems competent if not dazzling. There isn't a great amount of bloatware unless you count Adobe Acrobat and Norton Internet Security. Those were the only two things I had...

Absolutely the worst touchpad I've ever used. The buttons are narrow and connected to the narrow frame around the pad. They are so stiff that they're almost impossible to use. And the touchpad itself is so sensitive that just touching it is interpreted...

Amazing deal on an intro gaming laptop. Fast and powerfull. Plays Call of Duty: World at War and Fallout 3 on high settings without a hitch. Great display and sound

The only minus I've found so far is that the computer, and more specifically the video card will heat up rapidly while playing high-end games if you're not careful. I solved, or at least eased the problem by elevating the back of the laptop off the...
