This laptop is practically new - less than 100 hours of use - and as small as you're going to get for a 16" as you can see the screen comes very close to the edge of the frame. It also weighs in at just under 6lbs, making it one of the lightest gaming laptops around. The only game I tried on it was (Colin McRae) DiRT which ran like glass while it looked like a slideshow on my friend's Dell E6500. Its really a great laptop but I went back to an x301 Thinkpad since I'm bike commuting and I really missed the trackpoint.
Full disclosure: The fan is a little loud much of the time. I have not registered the machine and will provide you with the invoice (from mwave) so that you can do that yourself. The MSI website states that even without registration the warranty is 3 years from manufacturing date but it seems that only applies to the original owner, so I will let you send this in to be repaired if it bothers you enough. Also, there is one of those "warranty void if broken" stickers on the bottom that was broken when I got it.
