for keyboard u cant consider it as a factor to buy a laptop it should be gpu/cpu+build

well it's true.. it's a PLUS factor for implementing the idea biggrin.gif

besides, based on the specification list, it's seems powerful enough biggrin.gif

QUOTE(faezfahmi618 @ Apr 18 2011, 03:28 AM)
so what u think the price for GT780 could be?
it'll be more expensive than GT680?

price..i dare not say anything..probably a few hundred from the GT680? tongue.gif..still no words if it will be fitted wid dynaudio speakers..but design sure seems tempting

Dear razorboy, viruz019
Sorry for the delay, please bear with me that i'm asking MSI Taiwan on both cases. As for razorboy, what you did should be correct. I'm trying to ask MSI HQ what we should do when there BME Error. While for viruz019, sometimes for ATI Driver we can't only use inhouse graphic especially when there's 2 graphics card in the notebook. But that doesn't seem to be the case for your model. Once again i'm trying to get clarification from MSI HQ. Looks i'm my technical knowledge on notebook is kinda weak. Sorry.

it's alright take your time smile.gif..im not rushing..i got my desktop to help me game + currently not playing any hardcore game tongue.gif haha..anyway, regarding the GT780..will MSI malaysia bring em in?

QUOTE(faezfahmi618 @ Apr 20 2011, 02:00 PM)
can the GTX 560m beat GTX 485? hmm.gif
what r so special about the steelseries keyboard?
*
steelseries keyboard are well known in the gaming peripheral world..it depends on the game u play and if u reli go-pro..u will notice big difference between normal and gaming keyboards..in terms of it's MS, it's speed, the layout of the keyboard, the height of the keyboard...etc. All this thing are usually being considered when they are making a gaming keyboard tongue.gif

Haha, I'm also itching to try out the GT780, 4x Dynaudio speakers alone is reason enough.

Too bad I can't make it back, I'll be having exams at that time.  sad.gif

aww..guess a lot of us here wont be able to make it on time huh T_T

QUOTE(lonelywolf90 @ Apr 28 2011, 08:32 AM)
Haha, u should play it, it rocks!! =D

Cool, but I hope it's the real thing.. The GTX560m is ready already? It was announced during Cebit, but I'm not sure whether it'll be a prototype or whether it's actually real.

I can't wait to get my hands on the GT780 to test the capabilities of the the GTX560m!!

That's if I could go  cry.gif

I'll try though the chances are so slim  sad.gif

Maybe comin list? Sure, u can put me there  smile.gif
*
I tink the GTX560m will be ready by this month..most manufacturer are starting to get it in rclxms.gif

hahaha..im still tinkin if i shud sell my laptop and get the GX780..tempting..tooo tempting hahaha

chances of me goin quite slim as well..will try my best to make it wink.gif..i will re-do the list later biggrin.gif

QUOTE(faezfahmi618 @ Apr 28 2011, 02:43 PM)
i dont think so the GTX 560m wiil be better than GTX 485m
GTX 560m is same with  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 yawn.gif
sad but true cry.gif
*
GTX560m has better DX11 support..in terms of performance between 5870..dn tink we will see a big gap though

Attached Image

Dirt on heatsink + fan after more than half a year usage!
Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

sorry no after cleaning pictures sweat.gif

anyway, for those of u who wanna upgrade your laptop, i found a few things that u can upgrade!
1) replace the Western Digital 320GB Caviar Black to WD 500GB Caviar Black - RM219 each OR Seagate Momentus XT 500GB @ USD109 based on GentechPC/ USD96.63 based on Amazon
2) Replace the ASint 3x2GB 1333mhz rams to Corsair SoDimm Ram 4gb per stick at RM185 OR USD82.99 for 2x4GB (8gb) based on Amazon
3) Replace wireless with Intel Ultimate-N 6300 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless LAN (with 3rd antenna) : USD$75 Bigfoot networks Killerâ„¢ Wireless-N 1102 : USD$45 from gentech pc
4) Optical Disk Drive
5) Processors *Take note it is REALLY easy to change the processor tongue.gif..open up the back panel..take out the fan..unscrew the heatsink n VOILA..but for the processor..do remember not all processor can fit in. the one that i noe will fit in is "Intel Core i7-840QM" and "Intel Core i7 Extreme 940XM" but the i7 extreme sucks up a lot more power than the i7 840 or 740

planning to swap out the wireless to BigFoot network killer first tongue.gif then probably to the rams


Added on May 3, 2011, 9:23 pmsomething to help you guys out if u wanna disassemble the laptop

ok, regarding voiding warranty..based on my knowledge along with gentech..warranty will not be voided as we noe it is a gaming laptop..but if we change the parts..then i have no idea..if it's for cleaning and changing thermal paste shud be alright..beside..there's no sticker on the laptop that says "warranty void if open" tongue.gif

anyway, are u going to the MSI event? smile.gif

Dear all,
Just to ask here, if you are given a choice of SSD + HDD or bigger size HDD, which will you choose? Personally i think 120G SSD + 720G HDD is better than 1TB/2TB HDD for me. Appreciate some feedback here.
*
Definitely SSD + HDD..but SSD + HDD = lots of $$ hmm.gif

or maybe give the user a choice? tongue.gif..but if ssd + hdd price is not far different..then stick with it smile.gif

is this for the new gt780? brows.gif

QUOTE(lonelywolf90 @ May 4 2011, 10:04 AM)
Kudos to u for the disassembling man! ;D

I envy u a lot though, u hv WD HDD. My lil bro only had 2 Hitachi HDDs 7.2k rpm in his lappy. =(

Anyway, I tot u plan to purchase a GT780R, y upgrade ur current system?
I'd definitely go for the SSD + 720GB 7200rpm combo, nice one MSI-MY!  =)
*
haha..cause i feel that my speaker is a lil softer so go n open it up and notice the dust so i just clean it off..though im wondering, hw can dust make a difference? or maybe i tink too mch? tongue.gif

but then the thing about WD caviar black tends to have lower life expectancy ..but i dn mind..i prefer performance! tongue.gif

i did plan to get the gt780..but then $$ problem T_T..need to sell off this laptop agen..troublesome..ahhh.. i duno man sad.gif
