    I was looking for a new laptop and came across the GE60 0n 042US, and really liked it. My only concern was that I've never heard of msi before, so I'm not sure about buying from them yet.
    If anybody has some feedback about them, It would be appreciated.

    Also if anyone would like to suggest on buying that msi or the new vizio I could use some advice: VIZIO 15.6” Notebook | CN15-A2 | VIZIO

    Thanks!

    Well if you intend to game at 1080p then the 650M with GDDR5 will have a very decent lead over the 640LE with lower clocks and only DDR3.

    How have your experiences with msi been though? If they don't have decent customer service or something with their computers tends to break i'd rather stay away. Thanks for the input though.

    Not an MSI owner here so I can't say how great/terrible MSI CS is, but I would recommend buying through a reseller (like xoticpc or someone similar), as they usually have great CS.
