    I have been looking for a while to upgrade my dell xps m1530 to a much better gaming laptop and msi seems to come up top in spec and price.

    I have tried to see if there are any shops/ distributors in the UK that sell MSI laptops but i can seem to find any!

    If there are any out there that anyone knows of it would be much appriciated as i could save alot on tax and shipping

    manily interested in - gx/gt 660, gx640/740

    many thanks

    I ended up saving a lot of money buying from america.

    I spent £1720 and I also got, i7, 5870 8gb of ram, an upgraded wireless adapter, upgraded cpu paste, 256GB C300 crucial SSD, an extra battery and a 500gb 7200rpm HDD.

    It would of cost well over 2.5k in GBP if I had bought it all here.
