For the price this laptop is a dream! I'm able to play WoW, Left4Dead, even Dragon Age Origins and many other games with no problem at all at medium settings or better. MSI really had the gamer in mind when designing this laptop. Anyone who has spent more than an hour gaming on other laptops can attest to the heat you feel on your left hand and wrist from components being placed right under there. MSI thought of this too. Components that heat up are in the middle of the laptop, so if you're using the full-size 10-key numpad (also a big plus!) you won't get hot either.

Only complaints are that I bought it too early to get Windows 7 and got stuck with Vista (oh well my fault there) and the Function Key is on the far left side and I would often hit it accidentally when trying to hit the control key. I solved this by just popping off the Function Key. There's still the little depression button that the key would press that I can use when I need the Function key, and I don't accidentally hit that at all. The DVD-ROM eject button also gets hit accidentally quite often. Very minor annoyances, considering it was a gaming laptop for $600!

This is a nice to look at computer. Just look at it, don't expect it to work. I have had only a few brief moments in five weeks where it has worked. I had to buy a Bluetooth because my arm was going numb. Amazon is getting it back.
