19-Jul-2008 Ryder: Is this laptop good for anything other than gaming (e.g. internet browsing, microsoft office etc.)?

Easycom: Yes, anything that's good for gaming should be good at almost anything else, as gaming is one of the most intensive things for the computer hardware.

11-Aug-2008 teetherscool: Will this laptop be good enough to play world of warcraft without receiving any lagg?

Easycom: Hi, the laptop will be powerful enough to play world of warcraft and as long as your internet connection is strong enough, you shouldn't experience any lagg.

17-Aug-2008 parky: Does it have a webcam built in?

Easycom: Yes.

18-Aug-2008 Wariscoming: There is a new game coming out called Warhammer online. I was wondering if this laptop will be powerful enough to run it smoothly?

Easycom: Although it is a gaming machine because of the graphics card the GX610 will struggle to play the latest games at the highest spec but it will play Warhammer online to a good standard.

10-Oct-2008 bubbles!: hi easy com, i recently bought the larger screen version of this laptop (i can't seem to find it in the store now, but as the hardware in both is pretty much the same I thought i'd post here)... the laptop comes with vista preinstalled, but as vista is a complete resource hog i'm finding that my xp pc with half the specs seems to run games better. is it possible to install windows xp? i seem to remember once trying to replace xp with 98 and it wouldnt let me downgrade to an earlier operating system, will i have this trouble now and will the pc be fully compatible with xp. apart from the extra security most features in vista just annoy me. sorry about the long post, thanks in advance for you're reply regards

SteveF: depends whether you can get the drivers for XP for this machine. I'd give MSI a call and see if they can supply them. If they can, you should be able to do the downgrade.
