Is it worth buying for? I think yes because of the 8GB DDR3 RAM. Is this a good laptop even though its only a TFT LCD and not a LED one? also, are MSI laptops good? by the way, i'm planning to use this laptop for video editing and also for gaming.
thanks guys!

I think it's worth buying, for the specs. But, MSI has a lot of bad rep; so I've heard.
The MSI netbook is most notable for use as a Hackintosh. You could convert one with little little problem.

thanks for your reply mate. but I really want to buy this because of the specs. my budget is only $700-800. i think that's the only pc that i've seen with that kinds of specs for an affordable price.

8GB RAM doesn't matter, 4 is more than enough for almost all laptops.
If you're planning on using it for video editing and gaming surely you want a bigger screen than 14"?

Personally for me Acer has a better quality.

Hell yeah its a good laptop. I've played with and fix msi laptops. I personally like them. 8 gigs of ram is to much but it don't hurt.

From the stats of the computer it seems good.
