    My laptop is 7 months old and everything works just as the first day. You could search the threads with the older models to see if there are many complaints.

    Gaming laptops are not necessary reliable in the first place.

    If minimal downtime is important to you , you should be considering a mobile workstation instead.

    BTW , MSI can't match the service that the business side of Dell or Lenovo provides.

    @Zero Yeah, I know it's nothing, but many people can get plenty of issues even in such a short time.
    @solidas The Asus ROG and the MSI should be on the same level of reliability. Asus seems to be more widespread, though. Not sure how it's in Israel.
