    Hey guys,

    I have a friend who just wants a decent laptop for the usual day-to-day somewhat on the go kinda lifestyle. No gaming.

    It is an MSI A6200-041. I just want to make sure I don't recommend this friend a totally crappy laptop :) So any reviews or comments (preferably by owners of the above laptop) would be much appreciated.

    Thanks guys.

    I saw that one in Office Depot. It looks pretty decent.

    What's your budget?
    Little more info would help a lot.
    Netbooks do all that and are cheap.

    This friend doesn't want the small screen. So netbooks are out. This MSI was seen for 579 and then taxes (Canadian...).

    As long as it is a decent laptop I'm happy :)

    Well this friend has went ahead and purchased it online. It seems like a decent buy. Core i3, 3 gb DDR3 I think it was... LED screen.

    Thanks for the advice :)
