    This is pretty much the perfect notebook for me, but I have no idea where to purchase it.

    I believe the only difference (if there is any at all) is that the S425 is Dolby certified. I'm not sure if the speaker setup is any different though.

    The 1022 does have the nVidia 6200go.

    I'm admiring its work right now. :)

    if you're gonna get an msi s425 GET THE RED ONE!!!

    Red exterior, and white interior.. looks just like an encylopedia :D

    i was gonna get one, but had some probs with the suppliers etc (they told me its gonna come but never did) so in the meantime i looked at the asus w3v and asus m9v.

    Not sure why MSI does that but it's true. I noticed the same thing with the MS-1013 and the S270 for the video card. It's really annoying the marketing they use to make something look like new or different between Canada and US laptops.

    The S series laptops were prebuilt models marketed by MSI and warranted through MSI. The MS-1013 is the customizable whitebook version used by resellers.

    Currently, I believe only the prebuilts are sold in Canada. As MSI expands their Canadian operations, you should gain access to the whitebooks and the MS-series notebooks.
