MSI FX603-043NL

Good graphics for casual gaming ; nice screen ; not much bloatware

buggy touchpad funtionalities

This is one of the better laptops that I have owned. I was a little afraid to buy a decent laptop since I have been a firm believer in having a high quality desktop, but I am glad I opted for the laptop. For this money, I believe this laptop is well...

I haven't had NVidia Optimus recognize a game yet. It usually doesn't switch to the dedicated graphics card properly. However, I do not believe this is enough to take it down any eggs since you can simply right-click the application icon and tell it to...

works great for games until you try to play the witcher two away from your desk (not plugged into the wall charging) ; The game starts to lag if you try this ; Starcraft 2 works great on this pad and it can handle high level graphics

The computer freezes and eventually blue screens if i try to full screen a video game, I knew i was taking a risk buying this comp. I just want to make sure others know before they risk a painful experiance at times

As stated before, great performance. The hardware they packed in is great. The "Warranty void if removed" sticker doesn't void your warranty in the US

Hard drive failure, poor viewing angle, s-bar utility

Managable amount of bloatware ; Great boot time ; Sound is great ; Chicklet style keyboard which is pretty sturdy

Touch pad ; S-Bar

Specs are phenomenal for the price. Does exactly what I bought it for, good speed, lots of RAM, plays my games on the go. (Please read Cons and Other thoughts)

Warranty void sticker placed over RAM and HDD / SSD cover. Really?!?! If I'd have seen that on the pictures of the laptop I wouldn't have bought it ; Software eject only on DVD drive ; Power cord insert on the side instead of back, inconvenient ; Unit...

I bought this laptop for use in college and for some occasional gaming. Have been using it for two weeks and these are my toughs ; Professional look and it wont get any fingerprints ; Full keyboard ; 4 speakers with THX sound ; Reasonable battery life...

Poor angle view (looks really dark when viewing from an angle) ; The keyboard doesn't have light ; Annoying S-Bar, having a cute star at the top of your screen is a no go ; No eject button on the DVD drive

Nice performance. Good build quality. Bundled well. Great WoW machine on the go

Hard drive failed, MSI's US website was down so I could start an RMA. Screen viewing angle is very poor. Warranty is voided by sticker that you remove to unscrew cover for fixing hd, upgrading RAM, etc

Just an addendum to the last reviews I've made for this - read up on the posts I've made

Even after solving the BSOD problem, this laptop still comes up short in value. Other laptops are quadcore with faster hard drives, about equal video cards - at around the same price ; The value was good when it was released, but there are better...

Everything but cons

S-Bar has to go and a actual button be put on the disc drive, the Intel graphics card has to go, a fix for the BSOD, and a bigger vent for the one main fan
