Hello Everyone,
I'm buying a new laptop mostly for gaming - even though I will use After Effects, Photoshop and some other CPU intensive software - and I've already made my choice.
I'm on the maximum 700€ price range and I'm in Germany so if anyone knows a better model please take this two points in consideration.
On the main topic, my selected Laptop has the following characteristics:
MSI GE60-i550M245FD Gaming Notebook
CPU: i5 4200M
RAM: 4GB (I know that's not enough but I can find an extra 4GB memory easily and the laptop comes with 1 free slot anyway)
GPU: GeForce GT 750M (GDDR5)

My main question is: I don't know anyone who have used a MSI laptop before so I don't know how reliable they are. I've searched for reviewes online and while 90% of the users say the laptops performed amazingly, some people say it came with defect and had problems with the Support from MSI.
The Laptop seems great to me, a far great improvement from my old laptop that recently burned, so gaming and working with the software I want is not an issue since my old laptop did it as well. I like the Cooler Boost feature and I think that will help the laptop cool of doing more intensive gaming but still, I'm wondering, is MSI - or this series in particular - reliable, with a good Life Span?
Can anyone point me if they had - or know someone who had - an MSI Laptop before - especially for GPU intensive tasks - and had a good life-span, reliability and performance? Any major faults I should be aware off?
Thank you in advance =)
Sincerely,
zebrajr
