Item : B001N44U9O Customer Reviews Great Price Good Performance by .. William J. Rozum II () After my Toshiba became outdated trying play more modern games I started my search. I then found this nice little jewel. Let me give you a couple of my opinions of this system. First the bad..The heat exhaust is on the right side of the system and blows warm air on yours hands if your right handed and using a mouse, The partition of the drive, and Windows Vista which I have totally dumbed down to get it more like XP. Now the good... Windows Vista I am finally getting used to it, The performance vs price is great, The battery life I am impressed with my old unit would only run maybe 30 min. this one about 2 hrs. I am still finding more things positive about this system than negative as I keep using it. I would highly recommend this system. A lot of computer for price. by .. David A. Garcia (Jacksonville, Fl) I have no complaints with this computer other than the horrible partitioning of the drives. I just download everything into the D: instead of C:. Other than that I have no grips. I have played The Witcher, Total War, and will be playing Rome soon. The built in webcam and turbo are also very nice features. Happy hunting. MSI GX620-001US-Great Laptop. by .. M. Stone (NLR, AR) I have had this laptop for about a week now and I have to say that it is an excellent laptop for the price. There are some quirks about it that took some getting use too. Like, the keyboard layout is a little cramped to get the number pad and the Ctrl and Fn keys are reversed. The hard drive partition is horrid, but with a free program I repartitioned it to my liking. I have played many games on here, mostly CoD and this thing handles them with ease. Not even a hiccup. The turbo button, in the BIOS, is preset to 15% over clock but can be changed to 20%. I really don't use it too much as all the things I want to do is handled well at stock. My friend has the same model and plays Diablo and Spore with no problems. Another plus is that it did not come with a lot of blot/crap ware on it. I think there was 2-3 optional programs. I quickly uninstalled all the unwanted software and loaded up everything that I wanted. Downside is that it has Vista 32 Bit, not 64, and does not use all 4Gb of ram. I am not thrilled with Vista, but with a few tweaks I found online, it is moving along nicely and faster at that. There are only 2 USB 2.0 ports and 1 eSATA/USB 2.0 port, would like 4, but I can't have everything. It does have 7.1 sound, headphones and mic in. The sound from the speakers are pretty good considering the size, better than my last laptop. When in heavy use, this can spit some heat out (vent is on right side where I have my mouse). It keeps me nice and warm on those long gaming sessions, too warm sometimes. Despite the heat, it handles everything I do well; watching dvds, music, HD video, gaming without even a hiccup. Bottom Line, if you want a great laptop at a great price that can be gamed on,then try this one. I have not regretted it and I don't think you will either. my MSI GX620-001US by .. Guy () My notebook has the; Model: WD3200BEKT WD Scorpio® Black(tm) Mobile Hard Drives 320 GB, 3 Gb/s, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM So far no weak or dead pixels First impressions; 1. Build quality is very good, fit and finish. 2. Will need pratice getting use to typing on the keyboard, need the numbers pad, so I'll have to deal with it...haha...better then lugging 16" or 17" screen notebook to get the numbers pad. Feels great to rest palms on metal then plastic. 3. Pretty quiet fan and HD noise so far...only net surfing right now. 4. I'll let it burn in for a few days before installing to many programs on it, learned from experience most new computer components will either break in a few days or last for years. Lazy me, not wasting my time if it breaks. ;P 5. Not to much spamware installed on this notebook. NIS 2008 & MS Office trial versions. 6. Screen picture quality after Nvidia adjustments is good, not the best or worst, average from my experience. 7. Hard Disk Partition is horrid...C: 50 GB D: 250 GB...Some programs dont allow the option to install on D drive, oh well, guess I can move them later over to D: 8. Overall right NOW the GX620-001US has meet my expectation for Initial Quality & Excellent SPEC value lappy.
