    They're... great in general lol.
    Must cost a lot.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.

    Good for what you want to use it for, yes...

    I think the best indication of quality is the reviews. If there are no reviews, or the rating isn't at least 95% good, I wont buy the product. I usually buy from newegg.com

    That laptop of course has very good specs, but have people had the laptop crap out on them after a few days? Is the price way too high?

    A well chosen (highly rated) laptop worth 1.5 thousand should easily be able to run any game on high for the next 3 years at least. I have no idea how good a computer needs to be for 3d modelling.

    Those are some amazing specs in general. Should handle any gaming requirements for quite awhile (except maybe the 3d part)

    No idea on how well MSI's are on reliability

    pay attention that GPU is not the same power as desktop 560. It will run modern games okay, but don't expect ultra settings.
