Any opinions on MSI laptops?

Looking at a gaming computer at Costco. They are out online, but have some left in our local store. I have been talking myself out of it for 2 weeks now, but may go ahead. I'm not a big gamer, but it would work well for a flight sim I have that runs too slow on my current computers.

MSI is a big name brand. OK to buy if its specs suit you.
 
Been running them for 10 years now for two people. I run the GTs. The GE look good on spec, but all the ports are out the sides. The Stealth look good too. Very solid build with SteelSeries keyboards. I like the Killer Doubleshot software for automatic network failure roll over too. I usually run mine for 3 years and sell on ebay for about 70% of value paid to a student who wants to game.
 
I will use it for a flight sim, Eagle Dynamics DCS World, and probably some gaming. DCS needs more power than I have in my desktops to run smoothly. I might play some Call of Duty also. I also have Solidworks through the EAA and it would be nice to run that on a higher end computer.
 
I got one about 4 years ago, Gaming Series laptop. Best decision I made. I removed Windows and installed Ubuntu with Steam, it is lightning fast.
 
Big screen gaming laptops are what I use nowadays (currently on an MSI). Very ergonomic. They sit static on my desk and I don't move them around much (nor do I work during transport), but it's nice to be able to do the occasional infrequent move easily compared to a stationary desktop PC. Main thing is I hate small screen/keyboard laptops after this, though.
