   Now this a gaming notebook that finally isn't a glowing brick. I actually looks like a normal laptop that isn't specifically for gamers.

   You know, I made a LOT of fun of MSI's gaming laptops for being ugly, and having ridiculous glowing orange lights. Then I bought one, and I actually love it. I hate the bloody lights though, and I'm glad to see them gone from this.

   I'm also glad to see everything getting slightly more conservative in style. (The red rings around the speakers are gone, etc...)

   Nice style upgrade, and the keyboard looks way nice.

   I'd choose GTX460M over GT555M anyday.

   The keyboard is pretty but the overall design is kind of dull,especially the screen.

   Is it really made of steel?

   I had 2 laptops MSI GX610, and believe me they didn't last long, overheating every time and blue screens each time that window starts up dude to hardware issue and this was just after a year.

   Well done MSI, we'd have never found them without your help.

   Would have been better switching Caps Lock and the left control than just changing its size slightly. Nice to see that they are trying to make a better laptop for gamers though

    It was a good thing making the left ctrl key a bit bigger. I sure would want to get my hands on this laptop! The left ctrl key on my keyboard is kinda small.... and it's close to the windows key

    There was a time when I was playing a game....... I had to crouch at that time to avoid gunshots( crouch button was left ctrl) I was so focused on the game not knowing I was about to press the windows key! I was surprised that the game minimized and the Start menu came up! I was back to my desktop.... when I returned to my game..... I was DEAD. A really sad story...

    So if I did get my hands on theses things..ow boy...no more mispressing.

    If I had this I'd always be using a mouse. I hate the placement of the touchpad on all the MSI products. Always to the left...

    The GT 555M sounds like a mid-range part. Does it have the muscle to run current games at 1920 x 1080 ? My guess is that it's more suited to the lower 1600 x 900 resolution or even 1366 x 768 in the case of more demanding games.
