  • bought one, thanks for all your help ... I actually have to buy another laptop around the same price for my other daughter's birthday coming up soon as well! Will probably look for a different make (eggs, baskets etc. ...) - also she doesn't want a black one!!!

    You might have some problems there if you get one a much better laptop than the other.
    Not many laptops have Bluetooth built in.
  • So is this MSI the best sub 300 laptop around at the moment? :)

    Here...take a look. :)
  • Wow thanks donnie.

    I have a question, it says it comes with windows 7 installed. Does it also come with a copy of windows 7? So for example if I wanted to do a reinstall becaus eif viruses or whatever how would I do this?

    More and more :D

    It has a restore partition on the hard drive. I don't know if it gives you the option to create discs too. But there's always a way...
  • thanks donnie!:)

    just out of interest anyone know how much was this before it was reduced? (when it wasn't such a deal).

  • Haha! ok I am finished! :)

    Thanks Donnie!
  • Hi Donnie et al, just to be equally annoying :) Referring back to my post #715, will the MSI cope with 'Football Superstars' and similar or do I need better specs for that kind of thing? Thanks!
