Question 1

Does this come with restore disks?

Accepted Answer

I am not 100% sure if recovery disks are included.  Maybe just an Nvidia disk.  I do know that there is an MSI program that burns the recovery disks for you.  You just have to take the time to do it, which I have not.  But I will, soon.  The last time I did this on my last laptop, it took 3 4.7gig DVD's to complete the job.  Just click on MSI/Burn Recovery and have your blank DVD's ready.

This seems to be a very nice laptop.  It games very nicely, although don't forget that desktop graphics cards of the same series are much faster.  So far this laptop has run flawlessly.  I have a laptop cooler underneath it.  Keeps my legs and the laptop cool.  When you are not gaming, this thing runs cool.  When gaming, it can get warm on the legs, but that is what the cooler is for.  When I ALT-TAB and minimize the game I am playing, it switches to the cooler on-board graphics until I start playing again.  The sound system is great on headphones.  Decent as far as laptops are concerned on the built-in speakers.

Question 2

Can i upgrade this laptop to Win 8 later?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can.  Secure a copy of Windows 8 and either reformat the hard drive and install it fresh or simply choose to upgrade windows 7.  Either way works.

Question 3

Will you be including this product for sale again in the near future?

Accepted Answer

It looks like it's for sale now.  The site says it is in stock.

Question 4

Does this have two SATA HDD ports? I'm looking for a 15.6" model with two available hard drive caddys.

Accepted Answer

There is only one internal SATA connection.  If you are using an external HDD, you can get a case that is USB 3 compatible and connect to the computer.  I believe it has 3 ports that are USB 3.
