Pros: Quality board, Good spacing. Easy to read instructions. 2x6Gb/s SATA slots.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have built 100+ computers, this was the easiest board I have ever worked with. Normally when attaching RAM or the CPU heat sink, I fear breaking the board because it bends so much, not this one, took the pressure like a champ. GUI BIOS makes life easier too.

Pros: Very close thermal properties to the stock thermal paste you get on stock heat sinks for AMD and Intel processors. Inexpensive solution if you have to RMA a new board.

Cons: Very small amount in the tube. Not recommended if you are an OC'er.

Overall Review: A little bit goes a long way, so if you are not used applying paste yourself, keep this in mind. 3 Eggs for being an average product...5 Eggs for Newegg and UPS, Had my full order next day using 3 day ground.

Pros: - Plays my games just fine (probably overkill for EVE) - Dual GPU helps conserve battery when the RTX is not needed - Big screen

Cons: - I think I might have a dead pixel already :( - Wish there was a way to turn off the edge RGB - Could use some better instructions on what light patterns mean and what FN button options

Overall Review: Overall, I cannot complain. This was an upgrade from a 10yr old desktop system I built. I have used MSI MOBOs since the 2000s and their performance and longevity have never let me down, so I am giving their laptop a try. I am pleased with how responsive this laptop is. It acts how I would expect a laptop gaming machine to work. It solves my dilemma of needing a mobile gaming machine now that I have to travel for work. I might have a dead pixel already, but sometimes they recover over time, so not going to dock an egg.

Pros: Easy install, fast install.

Cons: RAM intensive

Overall Review: I feel Vista was a huge Beta testing platform for Windows 7. If you have Vista right now, and are on the fence about upgrading to 7, get off the fence and do it. Make sure you have a DVD-Rom drive.

Pros: Quiet, 6Gb/s Data Rate, Price

Cons: None...so far

Overall Review: My experience with Seagate is hit and miss. The drive is either great or it's dead. This one has been going strong and no complaints from the client about it.

Pros: Fast, fast, fast.

Cons: Runs a little hot on idle, but handles load well.

Overall Review: This was used in a new build for a gaming machine for a client. I am glad I got this CPU. The stock Heatsink and Thermal grease is sufficient if you do not plan on OCing.
