im thinking about getting this one...

can anyone comment/suggest anything about this.

Small resolution, mid-ranged graphics card (same as a Macbook pro), only ONE usb port, very cheap price. Including a keypad on a 15.4" laptop seems like a bad idea. The 2.0ghz Athlon is a lot weaker than Intel's Core2Duo offerings.

MSI is a decently well known company. In this case, you really do get what you pay for.
 
^ Actually, it has 3 USB ports... amazon just has it wrong.

its got 2 usb ports on the left and right of the laptop and the eSATA is combo'd with an extra usb port = 3

and the cpu can be overclocked with the "turbo" button to 2.6 Ghz.

these features look really good for the amount that they're charging...

any more comments on this before I purchase? or if you like to suggest any alternative notebooks ish welcomed. ^_^
