So far the worst product I have ever purchased...


Out of the box performance with Win 8 is worse than my netbook. Can't even run benchmarks properly with out glitches...if they open at all. This laptop is so slow it is almost unbearable.

The ssd install was another trip to hades...almost liked to have never got the bios to recognize it. The bios...what a joke. Two different Win 7 installs and still half the components don't work...hoop after hoop searches for drivers. Utility/driver disc is useless for Win 7. No compatible drivers available for Win 7...Win 8 video driver not recognized by Futuremark.

I'm just about to the point of boxing this pos up and putting it on ebay. Utter failure for a laptop.

At this point I would not even trust MSI with a bios update. Think I will just cut my losses and move on.

Sending it back ? Did you contact MSI ?

Seems like it has the hardware to rock and roll if you can get them on point ....

I would at least try to talk to them nice of course until it is time to not talk to them nice

Best of luck bro, that really blows

Tbh, I blame most of the problems on the pos OS installed, and the lack of MSI/vendor support. Seeing as how all I really wanted was a Win 7 OS I can see no reason for me to keep it. I can't very well ask MSI to take it back because it won't play nice with 7...don't think they would care what I think about 8.

Can't you just return it in store ? You should be able to

Windows update doesn't give you the drivers ?
