I studied computer networking and technical support and used my ASUS G72 gaming laptop and MacBook Pro Mid 2012 to do all my labs and projects. So yeah, this MSI will do pretty good since it has a very good CPU. Also, you can still play some games on it on the breaks :-) Something what I was doing in a lab class when I was bored since I was very fast in doing all my labs and hand them early :-) While others were still doing their labs I was playing Battlefield 3
The only drawback you will experience with this laptop is low battery life. Also, I might actually recommend MacBook Pro for school, since you will study computer science.
