I've had this TV for 2 weeks now its great. I love the TV apps. Makes watching Netflix and Amazon easy and fast. Chromecast works fine on this TV as well. Speakers are a little weak but a sound bar cures it all.

Great deal on gaming laptop
on December 3, 2014
Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles CA
$300 off this laptop what a great deal. I bought this laptop because i know of MSI from the days I built my own PC with their motherboard and video cards. This laptop is built solid and run really smooth.
Another reason why i bought this unit was because of its 2 year warranty.

I can play the following games (BF3, Bioshock Infinite, Batman Arkham Origins, COD MW 2, Hitman Absolution, Doom3, and many more) to run pretty well on this laptop. Most are running at medium to high settings without any trouble
Laptop has a solid feel, but you can tell its made of plastic. To me doesnt matter. It gets the job done.

Sexy slim gaming laptop

Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles CA
This is a great looking laptop. MSI did it right with this one. The over all construction is solid and balanced. Back lit keyboard is stunning. It takes a little getting use to because its so thin. I can bring this laptop into meeting without looking like a kid while still being able to game with pros. I also love the fact that it boots so fast... about 8 secs from the time i press the power button.
What's great about it: slim, light, and powerful
What's not so great: no touch screen

Great speakers. The sound fills my room
* FAST gaming. Battlefield 3 on all Ultra, and Skyrim with all settings maxed and no delay
* Screen is of high quality matte finish
* Track pad can be turned off with a button on the laptop itself

This thing is a monster. When playing games on high settings the fans barely even have to start up. The Hybrid Power booster, which pulls excess power from your battery/adapter when you are plugged in, might be one of the reasons for this.
What's great about it: Graphics card, speakers, screen
What's not so great: heavy

Gaming notebook at its best
on July 6, 2012
Posted by: Techuser
from Los Angeles CA
This gaming laptop is built solid. I've purchased this notebook when it first came out somewhere else and have not been disappointed. It has a lot of extra feature that casual gamers may not know. Like the Steal Series keyboard, Dynaudio speaker (feel the music), the "turbo engine drive" (over clock notebook) and the "cooler boost" option which cools the notebook when its running heavy games.
These extra features are what makes this gaming notebook one of the best.
What's great about it: ull HD matte-type (prevents glares)) 670GTX video card, solid keyboard design
What's not so great: Heavy.

Say goodbye to constant app switching. ¹Requires the Your Phone app, a Windows 10 PC with the latest Windows updates, and download of the Windows 10 app from the Windows store. ²Excluding Surface Duo Bumper. ³Local Video Playback: Testing conducted by Microsoft in July 2020 using preproduction Surface Duo units and software. Testing consisted of full battery discharge during local video playback on a single screen. Video playback consisted of a repeated 30-minute .mp4 file in 1080p at 24 fps. All settings were default except: LTE and Wi-Fi were both associated with a network with ‘ask to join’ disabled and Adaptive Brightness was disabled, screen was set to 100 nits. Battery life varies significantly with network and feature configuration, signal strength, settings, usage, and other factors. Battery has limited recharge cycles and cannot be replaced. ⁴Standby Time: Testing conducted by Microsoft in July 2020 in an AT&T Validated Lab using preproduction Surface Duo units and software.

Will there be any protective glass for the screen or will protective film be the only protection available for the screen?
There is no protective glass for the screen. You have to purchase it separately. Some protective film is better than others.
