5.0 out of 5 stars You won't find a better laptop for under $1000, January 28, 2009

This review is from: MSI GX630-028US 15.4-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers)

I'm 23 and have been using PCs for about 15 years.

In terms of the competition for this laptop, I've had my hands on everything from Sonys to Dells to Toshibas to HPs, everything. This computer puts every one of them to shame in literally every category.

The speed is just amazing. Out of the box it rates a 4.5 out of 6 by Vista (most similarly prices models rate a 3). It can be overclocked from 2.0ghz to 2.4ghz, yet the thing never heats up. I compared it directly with a more expensive Dell. I ran a particular high demand program. The Dell could not run it. This computer ran 4 instances of it. That means this thing is at least 4 times as capable as a more expensive, bigger name computer. That's what happens when you put an AMD processor on an MSI motherboard against an Intel on some generic Chinese motherboard, the Intel will always fail in comparison.

The touch pad actually works, it's fast, and it doesn't misinterpret anything. Out of the dozens of touch pads I've used since their invention, this is the only one I can't complain about.

It's the lightest 15.4" laptop I've come across, yet feels so solid that I know it's more durable than any of the alternatives. Even has some aluminum construction which isn't just aesthetic, but actually aids in cooling. Probably one of the reasons this comp never overheats.

It doesn't come loaded with a bunch of useless programs that try and steal your money (AOL etc.). It comes with what you need, Vista, and drivers that work.

I have literally found no downside to this computer except that it isn't free and that it took me 15 years to find a computer I have no complaints about.

This review is from: MSI GX630-028US 15.4-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers)

I fell in love with the specs, then i fell in love with the look. It arrived promptly and i fell in love with the feel and the performance! THEN... I tried to use the firewire port!
It was dead! Drivers installed and updated, device manager says it's working, but still nothing! Ok,so I got a faulty one?
Nope!!!
Amazon sent me a replacement (great service! i got it the next day!) BUT the replacement had the identical problem. I figure it must be MSI's fault.

It's a nice laptop and a great deal but I give it only 3 stars because that's a bad mistake by the manufacturer and the firewire port was very important for my work.

But i was already in love... so I ended up keeping the replacement laptop and getting and express card firewire port.

This review is from: MSI GX630-028US 15.4-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers)

I researched these MSI's before purchasing. I didn't even know where to buy them until I looked up the MSI website and looked at their products and then went to find the where to buy links. I have always used Dell for our desk top and laptops. We have had 3 laptops and several desk tops throughout the years (all Dell). I was looking for a new Dell laptop and stumbled upon these by total accident. I am so glad I did. A laptop like this thru Dell would have cost at LEAST $1200 or more. Easily. I got this one for $699!!! It beats any Dell I have had previously and would def recommend this, and have already, to everyone! If you are looking for a kick butt laptop this is IT!
