The design of the MSI Megabook L715 is very nice for a 17" screen notebook. It has a backlight for the MSI logo and the case is slim and classy with a sturdy enough feel.

The only negative comment I have is about the hinges which seem somewhat fragile because they are small compared to other models I owned and relative to the size of the notebook. However, in use the hinges seem to work well and do their job despite appearances as I carried the laptop here and there and everything was ok.

I recommend the MSI Megabook L715 as a great buy, the price was 1300 Euros with 19% VAT included which really doesn't compete with anything I've seen so far out there for this notebook category. Build quality and performance, everything is very well put in place and I really have no complaints about this machine.
