    Hello everybody!

    I'm from Hungary, so please forgive me my mistakes. :eek: ;)

    I want to buy a notebook for my university studies. My requirements are these: I want to carry it every day, so it should be "heavy-duty" (or rock solid?). I want to use it at least five year long without breakdown. I'll be happy with 2-3 hours battery time during surfing on internet, and typing my notes during the lessons. In adition one of the most important things, i'd like the notebook to be quiet, during typing, and i don't want either to be hot like an oven. I have to work with Auto CAD, and 3D CAD, so I think I'm going to need a powerfull machine.

    I searched for notebooks with at least ATI x1400, and x1600 graphics card, and I've found this notebook today on internet: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/notebook/nb/pro_nb_detail.php?UID=625
    It is cheaper here in Hungary(about 1000$ I'm not familiar with the exchanges) than the Asus S96J, or the Dell Inspiron 6400.
    I didn't found any reviews, or articles about this notebook, and i'm wondering if it worth it.
    My questions are:
    1) Is it sufficent for the purposes i've written before?
    2) Does it have efficient cooling?
    3) Do you recommend this laptop for me? If not, what else do you advise?

    Thank you for reading, and i am waiting for your answer.

    Cheers: Red Boy ;)
