So by now you've probably read a couple of reviews about this and other notebooks but can't make up your mind and are probably sitting on the fence because you don't like the bad press about the keyboard flex, low screen resolution or some other reason? Well, I did the same - in fact, I spent the best part of 4 straight months, pouring over review after review of notebooks that fitted my criteria only to find myself sitting on the fence, scared to take the plunge... from Amazon.com I purchased the MSI GT627-218US roughly a month ago. It was a great choice. from Amazon.com I have been using this laptop for a few weeks now. It handles everything I throw at it perfectly. from Amazon.com Pros: I bought this laptop mainly for the graphics card and it works great. I've played Assassin's Creed, GRID, Left 4 Dead, etc... from Newegg.com Pros: Graphic card: 9800m GS is about the equivelant of a 9600GT desktop graphic card. Extremely fastProcessor: at first it is 2.26ghz, but when i set the overclock to 20% in BIOS it jumps up to 2.71ghz in turbo mode. from Newegg.com Pros: Price: Specs per Dollar: Unbelievable. I am surprised that MSI is even able to build a laptop with such "Bang for the Buck" and still make profit on their end. from Newegg.com Pros: Well after reading countless reviews about this laptop, i took the plunge. The first thing i noticed was the flex of the keyboard (i find the smaller keys make no difference at all). from Newegg.com Pros: -Turbo mode-webcam-4gb of ram (3.5 for us 32-bit users)-9800M GSLaptop works great, can play most games on the highest res supported by the monitor. Cons: -rubber feet on my cam off-Visat 32-bit-little heavier than most laptops(to be expected)-flex keyboard Other Thoughts: I would have given this a 4.5 but cant.the user before me complaining about price because he's young..thats ridiculous. from Newegg.com Pros: This laptop is very great for gaming on my part when I play Counter-strike or L4D. I think it's perfect, then again I'm technology densed. from Newegg.com Pros: 1. from Amazon.com
