    hello!

    im just wondering if buying an MSI laptop, particularly MSI EX460X T66+, is a practical thing to do? MSI laptops are quite cheaper compared to other brands, im just worrying about the quality of their laptops?


    are MSI laptops durable? how long does one unit of this brand usually last?
    what are the most common problems encountered while using MSI laptops, specifically this unit?

    Most MSI laptops have good build quality, not sure about this laptop but in general it's good not the best but still good.

    Hmmm .. only one thing bothers me:
    Chipsets: SIS® 672DX+SIS® 968
    Do SIS exist? Didn't people said to them: SYS, you can't make chipsets. Sorry, but I had a lot of bad experience with them ...

    The quality seems good for the price. They seem to make the tradeoffs in the right places, mostly. I have an X-340 and it's pretty solid and decent for what I paid ($500). Most people seem happy with theirs.

    I've used a lot of different brands and they all have their problems. But build quality on my MSI seems good and I like it a lot. They also offer a 3-year warranty which is the best I've seen from anybody.

    I've also had good Toshibas, HP's and ASUS which I like a lot, also.
