MSI A6000-225US Notebook PC - Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4500 2.30GHz, 3GB, 320GB HDD, DVD Super-Mult

MSI A6000-225US Notebook PC - Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4500 2.30GHz, 3GB, 320GB HDD, DVD Super-Multi , 16' Display, Built-in Webcam, Windows 7 Home PremiumI bought this because it is a slightly lighter (under 5lb) 16-inch machine at a good deal. Here are my peeves in order of frustration level.

1. Wireless reception is VERY weak. I read about this on MSI Wind on other forums too. It cannot catch 802.11 n over a 2 story 2500 sq ft house. Only in the room with wireless router and the next room. All my other devices have no problems AT ALL. I can catch signals upstairs, downstairs, in bathrooms with other devices (laptops and iphones/ipods)...

2. Touch pad is slightly different for scrolling etc. from the Synaptics style so that's a little relearning curve.

3. Windows Update gave some failures. Could be a Windows 7 issue but I have not seen these on other Win-7 machine. And I haven't even installed too much SW or apps yet.

So if you want long-distance wireless or Synaptics style touch pad, this is not for you.
