Amazing laptop
By Kevin
This is an amazing laptop for the price,
Pros:
Pure AMD so no Intel/Nvidia tax
GPU is amazing on this thing
eyefinity on a laptop (because why not?)
The sound system is amazing on this baby
The screen is also amazing
The fan on this thing can be a little loud with turbo fan on but max the volume while gaming, you won't notice.
Battery life is also nice (around 5 hours. hell, I got around 4 hours while running 7 virtual computers and installing the OS on 4 of them at the same time)
I get compliments on the keyboard all the time :)
The power button is white when you are using just the APU and orange when the sleeping beast (8970m) is on
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cons:
The 8970 seems to be too powerful for just the battery, it will need to be plugged in or it will reboot on you.

I have talked to MSI customer support and they said removing the warranty sticker doesn't really void the warranty, also do a google search a lot of people have had the same response (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=msi+warranty+sticker) MSI support was also very helpful in getting the second HDD bracket. I didn't want to send my credit info in clear text over the internet so I gave them my number and we settled it over the phone.
That being said I put a 128GB SSD (Crucial M4) in there and reinstalled windows 8. All I have to say is do it. Install it right meow. It is blazing fast.
I want to upgrade this thing to 32GB so bad (because why not and RAMdisk).
Now the fun stuff.....gaming!
When the orange light goes on it means business. Sometimes it doesn't auto detect (and read a review that really disliked AMD because of this. lol wut? start game, oh didn't detect? close game, right click desktop, "configure switchable graphics," set game to high performance, and done)
Most games will be able to max out with this laptop, however console ports that rely on a powerful CPU are not going to run as nice because the A10 isn't the strongest CPU in the world. But still runs with playable frames. That is what this laptop is about, play games with all the eyecandy you want and be able to play it, who cares if Intel can get 10-20 FPS better? Yes the CPU will limit you 90% of the time but not enough to ruin your experience. BF3 runs in the 40FPS range in single player but on a 64(not 48 and below) player map it struggles and goes to around 20. However with a few tweaks (set priority to very high for example) you can get it to 25+ and it won't stutter now and then.
All my games (and I have a ton http://steamdb.info/calculator/?player=76561197996741554&country=us) run perfectly fine with this laptop.
I have high hopes for AMD as it is now in the PS4 and Xbox one, meaning games will be more optimized for AMD's architecture.

SOOO SWEET
By james layton
had for about a month and no problems-just some bugs in windows 8. It will game at least an hour and a half on battery (had 26% battery still) with modern titles -DX 10 & 11. Plays Crysis 3 at moderate settings. Wish it had SDD, but at least the HDD is a 7200rpm model. Great keyboard, cam & mic. Plays bluray nice and smooth..and great batt life.
the downs are it weighs 8lbs and windows 8 dims screen during movies no matter the setting. The case shows smudges some but I just wipe it down once a week or so.
If your considering this unit, dont even hesitate-PULL THE TRIGGER

READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY OR SKIP!!!!

The Good:
First and foremost, This is a GREAT gaming computer, don't let the price fool you. Every game I have played (over 10) and many games released this year (2013) have played flawlessly, I'm talking about 1080p full HD and high/ultra settings. I was worried because I wanted a computer with Intel/Nvidia components but I just couldn't fork over the extra dough, so I settled for this one, and I couldn't be happier, for this price range you get a lot. The graphics card is a high end model Radeon 8970m, it equals to desktop performance gaming, when playing games on this computer my mouth starts to water and I start a flood, the graphics are truly amazing! It is paired with a AMD A10 AMD (5th gen, latest) quad core CPU. People love to say that AMD make horrible CPU's, let me tell you right now, the CPU is plenty fast for things you need to get done. The computer is not slow at all, so don't believe the fan boys of Intel. Unless your going to editing huge HD videos or transferring 10000 of gbs every single day, amd Is the way to go, besides the have always had a edge in graphics cards over Nvidia. The keyboard is nice and surprisingly sturdy. The computer looks really good, the pictures here on amazon does not do the computer justice, you have to see to believe. It is heavy but still very portable, I have no problem taking it with me, it's not like your going to break your back trying to carry the thing around like some folks like to think. To my surprise, there is even a back-lit MSI logo on the lid of the computer (kind of what mac books do). It's eye-candy and a bonus.
THE BAD.
However even though most of it is good my computer did come damaged. The touch pad and left/right click buttons did not work, even when I first turned on the computer. I have tried everything from installing/uninstalling the driver, OS, and of course restarting the computer, and nothing works. However if you uninstall the touch pad driver the touch pad and left click ONLY will work, the right click will not. I was really upset at first because this was my birthday gift to myself and I had it delivered on my birthday too and I did not feel like going through the pain of returning it and being on the phone with customer service for 10 years trying to get it replaced. So I decided to keep it because Of the good (above) and because I plugged in a USB mouse and everything works like it should. (And heads up you will have like a million windows updates to install, so turn on a movie and pop the corn)
Conclusion:
This is a beast of a gaming computer and can handle the latest greatest games, don't let the bad affect your decision, every one out of a thousand computers or so will have a small issue, It's technology, sometimes it just doesn't want to act right, so that was just my luck I guess, but like I said everything is working great now with my mouse plugged in. If your looking for an affordable, POWERFUL, beautiful, gaming laptop, then this is the one for you.
-Good Day. :)
