The Mini MS-1651 Laptop design of this notebook is very nice, with a cool looking silver on black appearance. The Mini MS-1651 Laptop screen lid and keyboard palmrest is made up of brushed aluminum, which even includes the touchpad buttons. The media buttons are flush mounted on a matte plastic panel that is entirely touch sensitive except for the main power button. The overall look is very stylish for a gaming notebook, and has nothing too out of the ordinary compared to the lengths some manufacturers go with exotic colors and LEDs.

The Mini MS-1651 Laptop has a WSXGA+ matte display which is very pleasing on the eyes, but not the brightest screen we have come across. The matte finish is very smooth which doesn’t cause much sparkle on solid colors displays on the screen, such as a white background while surfing the web. Viewing angles are better than average, with a broad sweet spot vertically before colors start to invert. Horizontal viewing angles stay true even while moving to steep angles looking in from the edge of the panel. The overall brightness of the panel is less than other gaming notebooks we have reviewed, leaving a bit to be desired in a bright office setting. Colors appear are clear and vibrant, but not as oversaturated as what you might find on a notebook that has a glossy panel.

The Mini MS-1651 Laptop keyboard has a fullsize layout, which isn’t always found on a 15.4" notebook. While the addition of the number pad is nice, the primary section of the keyboard ends up feeling cramped. The standard direction pad is slimmed down, the rightside shift key is the size of a normal letter, and the symbols such as "." And "/" are abnormally small. The typing surface feels solid when you press firmly on the keyboard, but it has a 1-2mm gap between the keyboard and underlying structure that makes the thing bounce when typed on. The individual key action is smooth with quiet feedback.
System performance with the Intel P9500 Core 2 Duo processor and NVIDIA 9600M GT graphics card was great for handling the latest games with tweaked video settings. Portal easily pushed 90-130FPS at the full 1680×1050 native resolution of the display. Crysis while being a much higher tasking games topped out at 29FPS on medium settings at 1280×800 resolution. Synthetic benchmark scores backed up our real life findings, also producing very good scores. The 7200.3 Seagate hard drive helped out quite a bit for fast boot and shutdown times, as well as reduced waiting times for new map loads while gaming.
