Looking to replace an old clunker laptop and the specs on MSI gaming notebooks look pretty good for the price, but I'm not familiar with the brand's reliability record. Edited to add: to the answers below, since I can no longer find a means of replying to my own thread: I already have a desktop which is my main SL machine, but I also need a new laptop. I'm familiar with the limitations, but I'm looking for something that will do a reasonable job at a reasonable price. The MSI machines I am looking at do not have MSI graphics but good quality discrete nVidia cards (eg GTX670).
