Best for Price and Performance
By J. Windsor
This laptop is an amazing deal (I got mine for $620 after tax at officedepot) if you're looking for high performance and speed at a really low price. But there are sacrifices for that low price. I was looking for a cheap laptop that would be able to play games such as StarCraft 2, World of Warcraft, Counter-strike, etc. as well as watch movies and multi-process like a monster. I was basically trying to find the best possible laptop that didn't have a dedicated graphics card and was around $600. I wasn't too concerned with the laptop specific features because I plan on setting it up on a desk with external mouse/keyboard when doing a lot of gaming. So for me, this is the perfect machine!Pros: Very fast i5! (And for such a low price!). 500gb HDD, 4gb ddr3 ram, good graphics (even though it's intel HD), great at multi-tasking, playing games, etc. It has a beautiful HD screen, decent weight, great sound volume/quality. And did I mention how fast this things is?!Cons: My cons are only cons if you plan on using this latptop on your actual lap. If you're going to put it on a desk, hook up a mouse and keyboard, then there really aren't any cons! With that said, the cons are heat (most noticeable on your lap, and also on your wrist if you're playing a game using the WASD keys), battery life (I can play WoW for about an hour before I have to plug it in), noise (you can definitely hear the powerfulness of this machine), the mousepad is a bit unusual (it's studded? and no scrollbar, but instead it has a "multi-touch feature" which is also unusual and doesn't work too well).All-in-all, I got exactly what I was looking for and I've been very happy with it.

MSI S6000
By L. Freel
Picked up this one at Office Depot today and so far very excellent. Absolutely the best sound system I've heard on a laptop.A sound app is included and my iPod sounds great. I don't know about battery life as of yet. The chiclet key board is far too sensitive however I'll put up with it. We're traveling and it connected well with the condos weak WiFi. My wifes 3 year old acer laptop will NOT connect unless it's moved to the main office. Not too sure about the e-Sata input, would have liked a fire wire instead for my ext. HD, The USB-2 however works fine. I'll report back as I learn this laptop.Update Nov 06: I loaded up Photoshop CS5 and so far it is a good performer. A core monitor "Gadget" indicates that the dual core,(4 threads)i5 processor is loafing and waiting for the hard drive. Most likely file swapping with the slow 5200 rpm hard drive. I'm wondering if a 7200 HD would help with the >30Mb image files I toss around in Photoshop. Although with Win 7 64 bit and 4 gig of ram it should be a screamer.update July 15, 2011 I've upgraded the ram from 4 to 6 gig by adding a Crucial 4 gig stick, 4+2=6 gig. There is a huge improvement in responce with Adobe PS CS5 and Explorer 8 is more responsive as well. So not all of the lag was with the slow HD afterall.Update August 10, 2011 Continuing with the RAM upgrade I went for the max, and now have two sticks of Crucial 4 gig with a total of 8 gig. I really can't say it's made any improvement in performance over the 4 gig. Most likely I'm up against the 5400 rpm HD.

By Young
Well, I bought this computer from Frys, $704.26. It will cost $50 less after rebate. However, it's 1 month now since the day I sent out my rebate form, and still nothing comes. It seems like MSI won't honer their rebate.Despite that, it's still a good laptop. Light weight, slim, ok sound quality, i5-quad-core, and a lot more.The only con are the keyboard and the look. Sometime it just miss some letter when typing. The outlook just too simple.MSI isn't a well know brand for laptop user, but for desktop user, its mother-board are very well know, as well as graph card. So I hope this laptop will last for long.Update: I got my $50 rebate just forget to update in a long time; the pc still work well. The screen had to be replace since it got broken by ?someone?
