5/5

posted Dec-29-2012
I recently was given an MSi laptop as a Christmas gift purchased from PowerNotebooks.com, and my thoughts after a few days' use: I love it; I couldn't be happier. The laptop (an MSi GT70) is beautiful. Aesthetically, it's such a sweet machine -- the glossy black finish, the cool MSi logo on its back, the stylish speakers and backlit keyboard -- everything looks amazing. I have yet to play any games on it yet (I'm too into Skyrim on the XBox 360 right now :D), but what I've done online so far has gone exceptionally smoothly. It's the fastest computer I've ever used, browsing the internet, load-up times, and booting the machine up itself. My satisfaction level is at 100%, although the battery life is pretty low (~2 hours 45 minutes at 100% charge), but that I can deal with. I can't wait to install my first game and start playing.
PowerNotebooks is a great site; easy to use, plenty of customization options for the computer model you select, and very responsive sales reps. I give them my highest recommendation.
