    Hi, I've been scouting for a good 15.6" laptop for gaming obviously, and I saw this:

    MSI Notebook Official Website

    Couple of questions:

    Does this video card have the 128 bus or the 192?
    Is it a good deal for the specs?
    I was thinking of removing 1 HDD and putting in an SSD, would it be easy?

    Budget wise, 2,500$

    I chose 15.6" over the 17" because of the mobility.

    answering ur question: yes its a great laptop. will bf3 with no prob as well as upcoming games with a few OC.

    I see ur budget is a bit more than what it costs. consider this: buy a sager with a SLI Nvidia and ull be futureproof for ALOT of time
