I'd be very nervous about any "thin and light" MSI latops. I don't know about that particular model, but many of MSI's other lightweight gaming computers have SERIOUS heating issues. In many of them there's only a single fan shared between the CPU and GPU so:
- that fan gets super loud when you play a graphics-heavy game
- the laptop gets very hot, physically; the models I read about got so hot after only 1/2 hour of gaming that people couldn't even keep them on their laps
- when the one fan couldn't cool the computer fast enough (which happened often) it had to throttle the CPU/GPU .. which means you pay for 100% of the CPU/GPU, but only get some percentage of its power
I couldn't find any reviews that mentioned the heating issue for this particular model, so it might be just fine. But if I were buying one, I'd be sure to test it for at least an hour with the newest game I own as soon as possible to see if it gets hot/slow ... before the 30-day return window expires.
