if i'm buying direct from the states (friend coming back), how am i suppose to claim the warranty? viewed MSI USA but not much info..

Does it come with 2 yrs limited(USA only), or 1 yr global ?
If i buy it via amazon.com and send it to my friend's place, the warranty will still be with MSI right?

thanks!

It comes with 3 years local limited warranty or 1 year global/international warranty.

Thanks for answering for me Jeffrey

and yea, international warranty can be claimed here in Malaysia, you can call some of the MSI service center regarding the warranty. They'll ask you for the service tag number.

BTW, after using the laptop for a month+ i just realize something. They put all the stickers (Windows Code, Service Code..etc) inside the battery area.

Pros:
sticker wont fade
don't have to be afraid of ppl stealing the code

Cons:
Troublesome, have to take out the battery just to see the code n stuff

im not sure bout other brand, but i tried acer, dell, msi and toshiba..all of them had their stickers outside except this msi model

Serious? Last time the 4850 model was pretty cheap though

u mean the older generation with 4850?

I'm not sure if Malaysia have the latest model, but last i check..they got the GT660, priced @ RM8999 which is pretty expensive.

how cheep is cheep? 2k or 3k?

IF im not wrong, it was the 17" frm MSI, it cost around 4~5k+ if im not wrong

yaya tat time for that specs 5.2k i think. Other competitor even those like you mention gentech not include shipping also 6k+ d

ooo..i din noe bout that.

But i do own a previous gen of the MSI gaming laptop which is the GX620 which comes with AMD x2 processor and 9600gt, and from what i know, this gx660r is a huge improvement.

Built Quality and Heat are far better than their previous gaming laptop

BTW, Thanks mod for helping me removing the "flamer's", gassey, post .

From the first post you mention ur laptop is around 6k? It must be the cheapest among all brands then

it depends on the transfer rate. My mom help me pay for the laptop since she's in brunei and she work for a bank..the rate is good that time ..total i spend 5.6k to ship it to my place. Kinda worth it

Oh so did it took long for the laptop to arrive?

Wired TT the money on Wednesday *at US it's tuesday*, they received the money on Saturday *at US it's friday*, Wire TT takes 3 working days, So gentech send out the laptop on monday..and i received it a week later..shipping time around 7-14 days..so add up with tt..fastest is 17 days

hmm..the specs for gx660 seems a bit weird on mucro asia..did they make a mistake or did i make a mistake that it has a 17" screen? @.@ btw, im pretty sure it has a crappy battery life but how long will this thing run on battery?

Well for such a spec, we can't expect the battery life to be good right? At most 2 hours I guess

Not sure how long it will last max coz i rarely use the battery... Nowdays everywhere got power plug.. So i just plug n play

I do agree with skylinerz, at the laptop weight..i find it really comfortable to carry out

and battery life, well i tried with their power saver eco mode with wireless on..it last me almost 2 hours..kinda decent if u ask me..don expect heavy battery life from such a specs

any it's 15.6"..not 17"

MSI Malaysia just pm-ed me in the morning, Now we got support from MSI Malaysia!

I will post any updates from them if i receive any info! Guys if you want me to help you guys ask anything pm me too, i will direct the questions to them

hey guys, its been quite some time.
pretty satisfied with my gx660r.

i've been experiencing a problem with the speakers lately. while listening to music, sometimes the speaker makes weird noises / screeching sound. i'm guessing there are dust in it. how do i clean it?
