i'm grappling with the choice of a new high-end laptop and while i was originally going with an ASUS: http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_577_371&item_id=039940 a mostly equivalent MSI is considerably cheaper (the ASUS is actually on sale right now for $1699, but the MSI is still lower at $1419 with a mail-in rebate): http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_577_369&item_id=039589 can anyone comment on the quality of MSI laptops? thanks. rday p.s. both systems have full HD (1920x1080) displays but the MSI has a smaller physical size at 15.6" rather than 17.3". so just tinier pixels but i suspect i can live with that, i just want the HD res. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
