Thanks for the response. So we have two votes for the same MSI and one for the Toshiba so far.

Hum...hard one. The Toshiba does spec pretty good and looks nice. But, unless they have some secret sauce, the MSI one is just going to be faster, both CPU and GPU. Which, depending on how much Photoshop and AutoCAD you run simultaneously, you might notice a difference. Then again, you might not notice a difference at all - depends what kind of rig you're coming from (all in the perspective!)
One other thing to think about is that $200 you save by purchasing the MSI could buy you a really nice SSD down the road when you want one.
This boils down to the GPU for me - BOINC will be better for the MSI (secondary concern), and will do just as well if not better with any graphics intensive program. I can't imagine spending +$200 for a GPU that's not as good.
Plus, like DrPop said, that extra $$ can be spent on upgrades later on.
Sounds like we have a winner with the 2nd MSI.
Yay! You'll enjoy it...Originally Posted by denim
Man, you are going to love it. One sweet lappy - that would put probably 3/4 of the desktop rigs out there right now to shame!
Enjoy your new toy er, I mean work tool, of course!
