MSI GE40

Pros: Great product, by far one of my best PC purchases yet. Being so lightweight, it makes carrying it around almost unnoticeable. The SSD makes for fast boot up, around 10 seconds and I am fully running. I have not gamed much with it as I mainly use it for school and work.

Cons: Not really a con because I knew I was ordering it this way, but it does not have an optical drive. I opted for the 120 GB SSD and 750GB 7200 drive. Either purchase a usb dvd drive or load everything on a portable hard drive or thumb drive.

Overall Review: I took a chance at purchasing a MSI laptop and can't complain. My main reason for this purchase was a portable laptop for school and work with the possibility of gaming. This thing is more than powerful enough to do all I ask of it.
