Pros: The screen is great, it has 4th gen i7, 7200rpm hdd, 2 mSata slots, 8gb ddr3l 1600mhz, its a lot for under $1000. out of the box its pretty fast but adding a mSata ssd as a primary OS drive would really make this thing fly, adding 16gb ddr3l wouldn't hurt either lol. A lot of people complain about the gt 740m gpu in this but if your not an extreme gamer then its more then enough. it runs very quite IMO but i haven't played games with it. while surfing the web and downloading some torrents it was still very quiet and runs pretty cool (doesn't burn your lap like my wife's older Toshiba). The fan boost button is pretty intense, when its on the fans are LOUD but you can feel it working. Speakers don't blow me away but they are pretty good for notebook speakers. It has a full number pad.

Cons: The body feels a little cheap/plasticy. no bac-klit keyboard, you have to void the warranty to make any upgrades but all MSI are like that. I've heard that they will work with you though as long as your mods were within reason. Battery life is almost 3hrs with constant web browsing which I don't think is bad but most people would consider it not great so I put it in cons. I was a bit sad that I got the DVD combo drive right before they changed it to a BD drive but its not a huge deal because I will probably swap it out for a large storage drive in a caddy. For my pentesting use an AMD gpu would have been better but most people would probably prefer the nVidia so that isn't much of a con either.

Overall Review: Overall I think it's a great machine for sub $1000 but if you got the cash or parents/wives to buy you Xmas presents then I would strongly recommend adding an mSata ssd as your primary boot drive. MSI has changed the specs on this machine so you may want to wait until the new ones are out, differences are: windows 8 instead of 7, BD instead of dvd, 1tb hybrid hdd intstead of 750 7200rpm hdd.

Pros: It holds a lot of stuff while it still works.

Cons: Decided to randomly stop working after about 6 months taking all my music and pics with it. Also all the apps that I had put on sd card became unusable. I had to uninstall and reinstall a ton of apps when this card crashed.

Overall Review: Do yourself a favor and buy an adata card, atleast that one lasted longer then 6 months. I would not recommend this product to a friend or a stranger or someone I mildly disliked. I would however recommend this product to my worst enemy, politicians, and the CEOs of BP oil.

Pros: Looks and feels nice.

Cons: None really

Overall Review: I wouldn't occupy anywhere in any other mask. It's comfortable and looks much better then the other $5 to $10 cheap ones.

Pros: It's decent and lightweight, almost too lightweight, ruber body is nice.

Cons: First one I got was basically DOA. Computer recognized it for a few mins but then it dissappeared. Light would flash but nothing would happen.

Overall Review: I got an rma for this and the 2nd one worked fine. I guess every product has a few DOAs

Pros: It works fine. As advertised.

Cons: Probably not sufficient for 4k video or 3D stuff but I don't use it for that so not an issue for me.

Pros: It works

Cons: None really

Overall Review: These transflash cards are pretty much all the same in your cellphone, they just have to work and this one does. I had a patriot card before this one and it died after only like 6 months. I hate how android is changing so you can't put full apps on your card anymore. It's still good for storing music, videos, and pictures though.

They were literally the worst online retailer I have ever bought from and I have bought from a probably over 100. There was a shipping issue and when contacted by me and newegg numerous times they reply that they would be out of the office for approximately 3 weeks for a "company holliday" then after a few emails a real person responded saying there was nothing he could do which is an outright lie because I spoke to the post office and they said all they needed was for the sender to do an intercept which takes about 1 minute. They were just to lazy to take the minute to do it. Worst service ever, do yourself a favor and buy from another newegg marketplace seller, pretty much everything they sell is available from at least one other seller anyway.
