At the office we had another model MSI and its build seems very sturdy. Mind you I don't use that one but it seemed a little better in the beefiness, bendy areas better than the average cheap laptop.
I think either look fine but here's a slight nod to the MSI.

Hello. I am an incoming freshman and the institute that I am admitted to has its laptop requirements and they're as follows:
Intel Core i5 - 2430
4 GB DDR3
500 GB SATA
Being a Libra, I am quite an undecisive person so I came here to seek guidance.
MSI CX41 - http://www.complink.com.ph/classic-cx41-i5387-core-3210m-p-6829.html
Samsung Series 3 - http://www.complink.com.ph/samsung-laptop-370r4e-s05ph-core-3210m-win8-p-6983.html
PRICE:
MSI CX41 - Php 33,995 ($789)
Samsung Series 3 - Php 36,900 ($856)
So there! I don't know if I am saving any money by choosing the other one over the other because both, of course, have their pros and cons. I'll be mainly using this for school programs aaand, a dash of gaming. or two. of course. HAHAHA
Thanks!
