Summary: If this computer didn't have the occasional graphics issue and the major short circuiting flaw, I would have given this 5 stars.
Pros: I used this computer to play Diablo III and to run SPSS. It didn't run like a gaming computer, but it held its own for the size and price. I also installed Windows 8 a...
Cons: Has some graphical issues where it began getting pixellated lines across the the monitor. I upgrade the drivers and the OS which seemed to resolve the problem. However...
Pros: It's relatively light weight given it's fairly generous screen size and battery life.
Cons: Seeing the 4 star reviews from late last year I purchased two of these laptops - one for myself and one for my wife. Both of them had problems right out of the box. Ad...
Cons: The drivers for screen brightness, webcam, volume, wifi, etc are all run out of a program created by MSI, and doesn't respond to traditional techniques in changing it....
Summary: Over heats all times which slows down any functions you access. Froze so many times, had this unit almost a year and it takes almost 7 minutes to turn on and function.
Pros: Light weight, small, attractive little laptop
Cons: Over heats, slows down to a crawl, freezes after turn on for more than a hour, very unrealiable for long day of work.
Summary: I am a graduate student and use it to carry around to class and for basic course stuff (writing papers, internet, excel, SPSS, PPT, etc).
Pros: Compact, quick start time, nice color, fair price, runs all the programs I need (MS Office, Adobe, internet, anti-virus, etc). Works well with Skype and recording low ...
Cons: Lots of bloatware needs to be removed, that fan is a bit loud and is constantly on (but at least its working and keeping it cool), and it is a little slower than expec...
Summary: Really, for an inexpensive "ultraslim" notebook, which this seems to be trying to be, it's pretty sweet.
Pros: Perfect size.
Cons: Fan always on. Though it's not really loud, in a competely quiet room you can hear it. It's no louder than keyboard typing really. I've yet to find a way to lower the ...
Summary: Overall I'm still happy I purchased two of these. Compared to other thin and lights this is a bargain. Still, how you can screw up touchpad buttons is beyond me.
Pros: Nice size, nice weight, nice price!
Cons: Useless keypad buttons, seriously useless! Performance isn't what I expected. I installed a SSD in both of these that I purchased. I expected better performance than I...
Cons: very poor quality. have had to send it back twice, once for dead graphics, the second because it would not recharge. the second rma was done poorly, and the machine wa...
