Some people may view Windows 8 as a negative side, and I was a non-believer but I have actually been pleasantly surprised. Plus it doesn't force metro on you as much as I was led to believe, the desktop is as present as ever and easily accessible at all times. I haven't had any compatibility issues or crashes either which is a plus.
Some small cons that i'll list are that the lid tends to gather fingerprints quite rapidly, i've already had the computer for a week and it looks like i've been massaging the lid with bacon grease. Which is surprising since I have clean hands and don't generally massage my belongings with bacon grease. Another slight adjustment is that the windows key is on the right side of the keyboard and the function (fn) key is on the left. This is a slight annoyance since every keyboard I have ever used is the opposite, but luckily I don't use either button too often. Also, the 4+ blue LED lights on the front of the computer are bright, and I mean like you don't need a light fixture in whatever room your in bright. If you sleep in the same room a your computer (as I do) there's a high chance you'll want to throw something over it or keep under your bed. When in sleep mode the lights constantly blink, which is really, really, annoying. Lastly, as with most computers there is a little bit of bloatware (or promotional pre-installed programs). Although all are easy to get rid of.
My final thoughts are that if you're a gamer with a relatively tight budget this laptop is perfect. Or if your just a regular person looking for a computer that can handle anything you can throw at it, this is also a great choice. The laptop is light weight and has a low profile. I've already carted it to work a few times and packing it up and carrying it is simple. Track pad is decent, however I use a mouse anyways, and the keyboard is comfortable and easy to navigate. Also, one last thing is there are 3 USB ports, some might say that's not enough but it's the perfect number for me. All in all this is a perfect mid range computer that is an all rounder that delivers a great computing experience. I would definitely recommend it.
EDIT: Some things I originally forgot to mention: the card reader is really well hidden (it's pretty much under the computer towards the front) this isn't a big deal, just struck me as odd. The speakers are really loud and the quality is decent as far as laptop speakers go, big ups for that. Also, MSI has included some interesting features such as ECO (which is apparently different power profiles to conserve battery life) and things like airplane mode to disable bluetooth and such. The Hard drive is partitioned into two separate partitions, just an FYI if that is pertinent information. The heat management has so far been satisfactory and the machine hasn't been too hot to handle, although I'm sure that will change over time. A user has also commented on this review and asked about battery life, which is something I haven't tested yet but will be sure to update with when I do.
