    I'm contemplating of buying an MSI VR320 Laptop but i'm having second thoughts if this laptops are reliable. What's your take on this? Here are the specs;

    -Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (T5200*1.60Ghz)
    -2 Gb Ram
    -ATI Radeon Xpress 200m series
    -120 Gb HDD
    -Wifi(WLAN)
    -DVD Super Multi Drive
    -4 in 1 Card Reader

    All for P35,000. Is this value for money? Is it reliable?

    i think so. i've used them before, and they lasted for four years.
    but for 35k, explore Asus or Acer on same specs/configuration.

    Neo is a good brand also, why not consider it also. Bang for buck performance. .

    im using an MSI right now...ok naman sya...after 1 yr pansin ko medyo humina ng konti yun battery life nya...but early on yun napapansin ko is nagflicker yun monitor nya. may loose contact siguro. im just too lazy to bring it to the service center pa eh...so far its performing the way it should naman without any problems for more than a year na...

    as for neo,sumabog yun battery ng neo ng pinsan ng officemate ko.

    ako din curious sa MSI

    yun Neo tanggalin nyo na sa list nyo, I googled Neo feedbacks from the net. napunta ako si isang blog ng mga disgruntled owners

    meron pa nga isa dun na gusto ng tech support, tumawag sa "call center" ng Neo dito sa'tin

    ang sagot daw eh "tumawag ka na lang mamya, kumakain pa sila"

    Neo is a local brand. i think glee electronics ang nag re-badge dito. Xpres200m cheapsets tend to eat more battery power than intel GMA integrated vid card. Pero For basic gaming, ati xpress200 would be a better choice than intergrated Video.

    Ang ayaw ko lang sa MSI is kung ma-phase out ang model mo. Wala ka ganu makukuha na surplus parts. Even aftermarket batteries are hard to find. Usually makikita mo na other brand batteries are IBM,Compaq,HP,Toshiba,Acer.

    35k budget? i didn't encounter MSI yet but i suggest compaq presario with that budget. or you can buy HP Pavilion online kung di ka takot magpa ship or pa bili ka sa kamag anak mo sa US kasi mura lang dun eh. maganda pa
