While the MSI GT740-021UK offers decent value and an excellent screen combined with impressive battery life for a mobile gaming machine, it is let down by an awkward keyboard layout, underpowered graphics card and a 32-bit OS. Read full review

I have the year old GT725 Quad and would recommend MSI to everyone. Out the box performance was pretty good with the GT725 but with some simple tweaking you can really crank up the frames per second and other qualities without a serious risk of overheating.

Two minor faults of my machine are that the touch pad buttons have started to bend downwards a little at the points where they tend to be touched most. There is also a slight 1-2cm bar along the bottom of the display that is noticeably brighter in movies but not so much in games - this is a common issue with MSIs and a fair few other laptops.
