Such a Great Laptop...Just wish all of it worked

MSI Laptop GE Series Intel Core i7-3610QM 8GB Memory 750GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit GE700NC-003US

Pros: This is a gorgeous laptop. I love all the specs. Very fast.

Cons: The keyboard is a little unresponsive sometimes. Not sure if I love the Anti-glare coating. It makes the screen a little hazy. But here is the big CON. I wanted to install a second hard drive. I looked everywhere online to find out what kind I could install. Couldn't find anything. I open it up and see it is only a mSSD slot. Which is totally fine, but I had a new SSD ready to go and I couldn't use it. :( So I get the new ADATA XM13 AXM13S2-60GM-C mSATA 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD). Install it. Now here's a curious thing. When I first installed it, the mother board made the SSD stick upward at a steep angle. Weird. I then had to burry the other end under some cables to get it to stay flat. Put it back on, and it boots up no problem. I install the Win 7 Professional on it. Again, no problem. Then it happened. The mSSD would freeze randomly for about 30 seconds. I called both MSI and ADATA and it was finally determined it was a flaw in the Motherboard.

Overall Review: Trackpad is a little touchy. But It was fine. This model is now discontinued. :( So now I'm back on the hunt for another laptop.

Most Critical Review

Very shoddy device

HooToo® HT-MRA707 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 & eSATA to SATA I/II Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5'' or 3.5'' HDD / SSD (ASM1051 + ASM1453 Chipset, 12V/2A Power Adapter, 3.3ft USB 3.0 Cable & eSATA Cables)
HooToo® HT-MRA707 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 & eSATA to SATA I/II Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5'' or 3.5'' HDD / SSD (ASM1051 + ASM1453 Chipset, 12V/2A Power Adapter, 3.3ft USB 3.0 Cable & eSATA Cables)

Pros: Like what the device is trying to accomplish. Like the usb 3.0 and the esata option

Cons: The esata port does not work. I bought this so I could hook up a Seagate 3TB HD to my DVR to expand storage. Disk doesn't read at all. I tried a few different cables. The USB goes in and out as well. I was able to initialize the disk via USB, but it would keep connecting and disconnecting on it's own. Guess I'll try another option.

Great look...Poor Build Quality

10X 2m 6Ft (Extra Long) Micro USB Data Sync Charger Cable for Samsung Galaxy S S3 I9300 S2 I9100 White Black Red Purple Hot Pink Pink Green Yellow Orange Blue

Pros: The colors look great. Nice and long. And the flat cables are great to throw in a bag.

Cons: The build quality is shoddy. Out of the ten cables only three of them still work. They either can hold in the device they are plugged into or they just don't charge the device.

Overall Review: Wish these would have worked.
