apart from HON. Everything else is fine. Awesome in fact. My work of programming and router simulation runs perfectly fine. Battery life is awesome. The design and the weight terrific. There will always be flaws in a product regardless of how good one products is.

I.E a gallardo or a f50 or m5 or g5. There isn't a product in the world including the SLK that doesnt have minor glitches here and there. But there's one thing not every product has, good customer service. and MSI have that.

All in all it's your choice. I chose MSI, b4 I chose them, they served me terrifically, now that I have chose them, their customer support still deserves to be credited. Even with this inability to play HON for 2 games in a row without blue screen, even if I knew b4 hand, I'd still make the same decision. Asus, Sapphire, Gigabyte, Dell , Acer. Personally, RMA, Customer Service, with them, oh yea, toshiba too, absolutely horrible. MY asus rampage 2 board, went into RMA in january. i have yet to receive till today. Go figure my friend

This is very the sad. Why, am i so lucky.. argh.. always the same thing.

Rampage 2 board, ram slot faulty. 5970, RMA also.

Now, my notebook. BSOD when hon. So epicly lucky

Unfortunate to hear about your gt680r.Hope you can get it fix really soon and maybe discuss your process of fixing it in case anyone of us gets the same error in the future 

Oh my...guess the GT680R machines were just a "kambing korban" test machine to tryout what are the customer's review and attractions on it?As always,just replacing the gfx card with the nvidia 5series and satisfy the customers with it.Not really sure whats going on with the marketing skills nowadays,same goes for the production of phones as well when they just replace and introduce a new single thing from an old product to a new product just like that.Its like an incomplete system featured of bits and pieces which slowly combines into a crap.

Im not really sure about the production of GT683R as I did not do any research on it except to checkout the forums.

Ya, means less work for me XD

Ok ok, I wun then XD

This laptop sounds great, love the sound!

Design wise, it looks spectacular too, I tot it would look to grodgy, but it isnt =)

My lil bro wil b hapi wif tis, haha..

Can't wait to try Crysis 2 on this!

Added on April 11, 2011, 8:56 pmI felt something odd...

Why when I restart having my external harddisk attached to it, it will end up with a black screen?

I can't access Windows at all.. Until I removed my HDD from the lappy,I restart it and it went back to normal..

Something to do with the adjustments in the BIOS?

Ya,Dell used to b my top choice, but now all I c is just d great warranty service, it's expensive.. My Studio 1555 costs RM4k, omg.. Imagine the contrast between the 1555 to the new MSI GT680. Difference in price is only RM1k+ @_@

Since it's for MSI users only, I won't be able to go, I'm not a MSI user, my bro is =/

Speaking about games, Shift 2 would rock so much! I played the Hot Pursuit and boy, am I impressed with the gameplay, graphics and effects, cool!! =)

Hhmm, Dragon Age is almost like that, something like Diablo & Neverwinter Nights?

only hon. clean install doesnt work. same thing. sad. I'm finally gonna be done this week with all my assessments assignments. Gonna get me a proper pendrive and update the BIOS

thats me....

looking at GT550 it's a little bit powerful than GT540 but the ASUS only has 4GB RAM,, should the the 8GB RAM offset the difference between GT540 and GT550?
