I learnt a hard lesson that it is not worth it getting a laptop for gaming. The best gaming laptops are worse than mid range Desktop machines for gaming. It all lies with the graphics cards, which just aren't as robust as their desktop counterparts.
For example that 130M GT is equivalent to a desktop 9500 card. A very low end card. However, having a discrete graphics card reduces battery life incredibly. For occasional gaming it should be fine, but you will never be able to play the latest games at normal graphics settings in my opinion. These laptops with the graphics cards usually cost a lot more than normal laptops as well. In my view, Desktop for gaming. Laptop for work/Movie watching/ occasional gaming with compromises. There's nothing wrong with MSI as a laptop brand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
