MSI GX640-098US

PCWorld Rating

3.5
3.5 / 5 - PCWorld, May 21, 2010

Pros

  • Superfast, great for gaming
  • Fantastic speakers--loud, crisp, clear

Cons

  • Battery life is short, and power block is heavy

Bottom Line

This portable gaming notebook is speedy and affordable, and it has great speakers--all of which pretty much make up for the loud fan and the not-so-bright screen.
