dunbar7376,
Nice machine!
MSI is a reputable brand, but Lenovos parts are more abundant and usually much cheaper if something breaks down the line. Also, not sure of MSI warranty policy. Lenovo doesn't discriminate if you are not original owner and if warranty is present on pre-owned or refurbished comp, it will honor it without pain. Also, it lets you extend existing warranty at fair prices.

Tony, It all differs from machine to machine... I had Asus desktop and a laptop in the past. In my view Lenovo Thinkpad, Thinkbook or Legion series are much better builds.
