I haven't pushed it to it's limits yet, but it's certainly more powerful that my desktop (SSD makes a nice difference too).

I went for a "gaming laptop" even though I don't play games, as they generally have the best specs. Price, performance, and features considered, MSI seemed to be way to go (though ASUS ROG is worth a look).

I also purposely went for the i7-5700HQ over the newer i7-6700HQ as it has better performance (~10-15%), though it's lacking a few improvements on the newest chipset.

Hopefully that helps!
Thank you very much for this reply.
I am excited to hear you have bought a MSI, because I am eying on one for about half a year now.
Could not decide yet.

The cheaper MSI gaming machines arenīt that good for gaming, but have dedicated graphic card with itīs own RAM.
I was just curious if they perform well (DPC-latency, fan noise and stuff)
To hear about you being satisfied is really encouraging me to buy one.

They are about 900,- € atm at my place....

How is it about fan noise? I know it is not an optimized desktop, but is it ok?
