I considered buying an MSI laptop a while ago and it worths noting that they serve as an OEM for LG. For every model LG have a parallel one. A friend of mine installed some recent version of OpenSUSE on MSI s262 and everything, including WiFi, worked out of the box. But, then again, go figure what SuSE put in there. The reason that I didn't buy it was that apparently Ivory has notoriously bad service.
