A good laptop so far, I have been using it for two days (if I remember I will update this review). At $700, this was literally the *second* best gaming laptop I found on the entire internet. *The Acer Aspire V3-572G-54S6* was $50 cheaper and better in everything except the processor was slower (0.5 GHz - 1.0 GHz which might be a lot actually). I am very happy so far with my purchase of $700, have a decent graphics card, quite a good processor, 750 GB of hard drive space, and 8 GB of RAM. Keyboard is sick, felt small at first but is exactly same size as almost all laptop keyboards. Keyboard responds well, and has a *very* cool material covering to create friction and feels nice.
Pros:
- Good graphics card, processor, hard drive amount, RAM amount
- Great price for quality of laptop build and components (graphics card, processor) inside
- MSI seems like a good & reputable company, not many complaints online
- Laptop doesn't overheat or have other obvious flaws
Cons:
- Not the best laptop *MAYBE* for the price, but pretty freaking close to the best at $700
- MSI *may* not be the most reliable company but I'm loving the laptop so far, so I give it my +1 vote
- Graphics card not as powerful as Acer Aspire V3-572G-54S6's Nvidia GT 840M by *quite a bit* and MSI's 820M will play modern games at low settings for probably 2-3 years into the future
Great purchase! Highly recommended so far! Only used 2 days so far but pretty freaking stellar. I researched ~20 hours to find this laptop, no regrets. <3 MSI & Best Buy
I would recommend this to a friend

as advertised- 750Gb HDD doesn't say that it's going to be split up, or that the O.S. is going to be 68 Gb. taking you down to a total of 682 Gb storage space. As a gamer, I find this frustrating. As an IT professional, I find this a mockery and sadly par for the course with retailers.
Best buy also failed to give me options for ADH, anti-virus, signature for delivery ALL on this item while ordering through Chrome.
Not happy with that at all.
overall, two days of use and it is starting to really slow down - not happy with that. otherwise for $499.99 on sale, it's the best buy online. I would recommend this laptop to anyone looking for something great for a low price, but I'd not suggest buying it from best buy.

I can play the following games (BF3, Bioshock Infinite, Batman Arkham Origins, COD MW 2, Hitman Absolution, Doom3, and many more) to run pretty well on this laptop. Most are running at medium to high settings without any trouble
Laptop has a solid feel, but you can tell its made of plastic. To me doesnt matter. It gets the job done.

The computer Worked great until week 2. after that, playing a game it freeze and then restart its self with no Error code popping up. Just for everyone's information this Computer is the MSI cx61 2ps. Best buy does not state the name of it in the description. Geek Squad looked at the problem it was having and they couldnt figure out as to why it was doing what it was doing, and they would not let me take it back and exchange it for a new or different laptop. I would have to say, i wish this did work great as it is a very Sexi (gamer Sexi) laptop. but sadly it dosent, and now iam left with a P.O.S that cant preform what it was intended to do, and its not even a month old yet.
