MSI GS60 2PE for gaming/programming

I have 5 straight hours of class on Tuesdays. So this past Tuesday, I charged it up and brought it along. I wasn't using it the whole time, maybe I'd have it on for 15 minutes then 3 minutes off or something like that. Just internet browsing, some word, google hangouts and other not intensive things. It had just about 30% when I was done with the day. I was shocked. Gaming on the battery apparently is no good, and I got maybe an hour out of it before it was done. But web browsing and stuff, absolutely fine. I did bring my charger though, but only for an emergency.

I absolutely love the keyboard. It takes a few minutes of getting used to but I really love it. I hate that the Windows key is on the right instead of left, as I use keyboard shortcuts with the windows key all of the time. Oh well, you can rebind many of the keys if it really bothers you. The keyboard is probably my favorite thing on this laptop. It is so gorgeous and the keys don't have a super long depth, which I like. On the other hand, if I type hard and fast then the screen shakes quite a bit which sucks but I only notice it occasionally. The touchpad is definitely sensitive and registers some misclicks occasionally. It being on the left doesn't really bother me because I just rest my wrist on the laptop anyways. It is a multi touch so it will swap between apps and stuff like that for me but not all too often. My major gripe with it is how close the touchpad is to the edge. Its probably a few mm from the edge. So if I use rest it on my stomach and legs, when I'm lying in bed for example; it will recognize my shirt touching it as a finger. I adjusted my sensitivity and fixed that mostly. Definitely no good for gaming. I use an external mouse for gaming and when I'm in my dorm room. When I'm in class I can definitely tolerate the touchpad. I've actually grown to like it more than I originally did. Sorry I'm so in depth, don't want to forget something hahahh
