Reviews for the MSI A6200-038US

70% MSI A6200 15.6in laptop

While the A6200 doesn't make use of Intel's Second Generation Core (Sandy Bridge) CPUs, its Pentium P6100 is still a decent processor and it will handle basic tasks without being sluggish. That said, you should only consider buying this laptop if you are on a strict budget and can't afford a Sandy Bridge-based model.

The MSI A6200 offers good looks, solid performance, and relatively strong battery life at a great price. However, the port placement and lack of multitouch will annoy some. And the HP G62t, which also sports a Core i3 M330 CPU and costs $599, has a faster 7,200 rpm hard drive. Still, the A6200 has a sense of style and value that makes it a good choice for students and families on a budget. We just recommend that you try to find the Core i5 version first for the same price.

60% MSI A6200-038US 15.6-inch Budget Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
MSI's A6200-038US can be a very affordable thanks to street pricing around $550 provided you can actually find one. The system is pretty typical of the latest generation of budget laptops. Performance is strong thanks to the new Core i3 processor and features are decent. MSI has managed to keep the size of the laptop down as it is relatively thin for a budget system. Quality is a bit below what others have to offer and the viewing angles on the display are very narrow.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components. However, the Microstar brand name in Germany belongs to the Medion company. MSI is known for its gaming products and has developed a wide range of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

66.67%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
