MSI GT627-218US
With their outrageous designs and big, high-resolution screens, twin graphics cards and quad-core processors, hard-core gaming laptops like the Alienware M17 and the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725 are meant to dazzle customers. The MSI GT627-218US takes a ...
Excellent Nvidia graphics card. Perfect for cash-strapped gamers. Plenty of specialty ports, including HDMI, TV tuner, and eSATA. 4GB of memory. Good processor
Flimsy keyboard

Great Bang for Buck
This would be a perfect machine if not for the flexing keyboard and strange layout. That said, I am extremely happy with it so far. It is much faster than I had thought and it is constantly surprising me at how fast the graphics are (Turbo ROCKS) while ma...
Very clear screen, decent size (more portable then a 17"). Fast Processor, fast graphics, 4GB of RAM, does not get insanely hot while gaming (still a cooler would be useful if being used as a full time gaming machine). Over clocks via "turbo" button out o...
Keyboard layout is strange. Others have mentioned the poorly placed "function" button. While this is annoying you get used to it quick. Keyboard "flexes" despite where you type. Worries me about longevity. Screen has more narrow viewing angel from other l...

Keyboard is springy
pretty good
I dont really see why people make a deal out of the keyboard flex, I have to be looking for it to notice it and be applying considerable pressure. I suppose the low screen resolution could be a con, but nothing very bad in my opinion. I wish they would've...
the specs are very nice for the price, plus the turbo option makes the cpu that much better. has a numpad, plus some nice touch sensitive buttons. 2.0 mp camera, bluetooth
the function key [Fn] is switched with the ctrl key. not a huge thing, but it annoys me a lot while trying to play games. Because it has a numpad, things are kind of scrunched, such as the backspace and left shift. But i'm sure I'll get use to those. cons...
