Definitely. The gt683 is worth every damn penny . Been blasting on it since i've gotten it. Surprisingly i can run most game on highest setting even if its a 560m card. The turbo a bit err.. let down. Doesn't actually boost much. HD 7? O_o.. too much racun eh. I gotta chill for a bit with the buying. Killing my credit card already. Btw, what happened to you planning to start your own business? happening anytime soon?

E-bay!!?? wahh.. u got guts man. I buy stuff from e-bay but electronics is just so damn scary. Any small issue is a big issue. Anyway, nice set up for a barebone. Don't worry about the dynoaudio's. Just buy an epic external speaker. That would be much better. Though you might want to check the warranty again for barebones. Btw, if i go to your store, got discount? hu hu hu

Added on October 21, 2011, 1:38 pmVery reasonable price. Same spec with my GT683R but with better processor for that price. Affordable and not too steep. I think this will definitely racun ppl into buying MSI's instead. It's much better then ordering from low yat plaza. They quote me RM7500 for 2630!!!! Anyway, finally got my aunt to get it for me. The GT780DX looks like the best deal of the lot. just without SSD and less ram compared to gt683r. You shouldn't have posted this. Now i'm itching to get the GT780DX....

Added on October 21, 2011, 1:44 pmThe SSD is pricey but it helps especially for gaming load time and such. I used my SSD for window 7 and gaming. It does everything in secs. well, not everything but you get my point. You might want to consider having SSD . it's definitely a +

Dirt Cheap!!!! Without the SSD and with 570M card it's still a good bargain. I could've waited for the 570M variant but cannot tahan already. Anyway, kudos to MSI for bringing them in. At least we won't have to go through hassle.

Call USPS tell them your tracking number and location and ask them to clear the confusion? I'm sure they have USPS HQ in SG.

well, then you should go through USPS website. According to my friend, he tried USPS too, had the same problem. He went through USPS website, customer service, faqs then pick tracking, confirmation and delivery. They'll clear up the confusion

Well, there will be a pc fare from 4th november onwards and MSI is going to be showcasing it. Might want to be there. I'm definitely going to be there to fiddle with the 780 Check Sanko's earlier posts

Btw, anyone going over to pc fare this time round? I'm gonna be there to fiddle with the 780 and hassle the MSI peeps. Anyone joining?

Errr,no way. I'll camp right in front of the fare and hog the 780

Viruz, going over to PC Fare to check out the 780's?

Just a suggestion but maybe you guys should like throw in vouchers and free gifts for purchasing MSI's gaming laptops. This would definitely be a plus. I'm quite sure you guys will give some free gift or something. When I bought my GT683R, it came with a bagpack ( errr.. not too shabby ones ) and a gaming mouse. Its was a surprised that they even included a mouse for me eventhough i already have a Razer but i really appreciated it.

Congratz man and All The Best! well, there's one more in december so maybe you can make it for the december ones.

Added on November 1, 2011, 12:00 amOh man, well hope you can make it for the Dec ones since you're going back homecountry. I'm not sure if i can make it for Dec one as well. I got 2 stores opening then. Aiyo.

Don't worry. MSI gaming laptops is way beyond just gaming. It's almost everything bundle in one Disco Machine. I call it Disco Machine because my friends all think it looks like one when i turn on all the lights . You will definitely be satisfied. Only issue is, you'll be doing quite a lot of cleaning as it comes with glossy body but that's ok.

Very true. I think given a choice, I would've bought mine here instead but it wasn't available then. I think the specs that Sanko presented and the specs are pretty good. Just minus SSD which is acceptable. Furthermore, the prices offered is very affordable. Conversion rates vary so it might be cheaper today but slightly higher priced tomorrow as we are buying it in foreign currency and it makes a difference when paying for shipment as well.

The warranty is international. Eventhough the resellers don't provide it, as long as it is a legit MSI product, the warranty is valid everywhere.

I think he meant that which reminds me.. my GT683 comes with one too but i forgot about it ... fail. Now have to get one too

Why not just use it since you already have it. The spec is bonus. It still is a laptop nevertheless. You can use it to do so much other stuff. Just in case you get into graphic design or videos, this would be a plus.

Added on November 21, 2011, 7:17 pmStill no 780 owners yet? I thought by now we would have a few already? Any of you guys getting the 780 soonish?

If you want it to be easier, you could try asking someone to pay for you via credit card. Wire transfer charges can be quite expensive at times. Also, bear in mind that you're also paying for shipping costs. I think the stock versions locally are pretty good. The only upgrades available are RAM, CPU's and whether you would want SSD but I think you can make do without the SSD. The stock CPU is sufficient for gaming and you only need 8gb ram max. 16g is overkill and expensive (though mine did come with 16g ram ) SSD is a good option but not really necessary. It is super fast but it does cost quite a lot. Buying it locally has some bonuses though. 2years warranty + no shipping cost, no shipping risks + immediate services since you're buying it directly from MSI and the plus is definitely cheaper and affordable. You might want to consider getting it locally. Don't give in to the poison of upgrading everything . I can tell you this though, MSI gaming laptops are great. You'll not regret buying one. The only problem i have is ..... i need to clean it all the time and i'm lazy half the time. Other then that, performance wise, it's beast and I've not had a single problem since I've purchased it.

Added on November 23, 2011, 11:30 amCONGRATULATIONS! I know the feeling of waiting for it to arrive. It feels like forever. The moment when someone calls you up and tells you your baby has arrived cannot be described. Are you buying it for gaming purposes mainly?

Oh man u really prepared ahhhh!! already future purchase mouse and all that .. I'm already playing BF3 on my GT683 but of course the 560M card can't play too high. Actually even the 580M cards find it hard to cope at high setting, only at mid at 1920 x 1080. Laptop is laptop. Anyway, see me on BF3 MBT server. I'm Electroclashed. Am not so pro but it's damn fun

Added on November 23, 2011, 6:32 pmWhat is your current laptop? Also, don't worry, mine comes with the stocked network card and it plays MMO's beautifully with no problem with signals and mine's the slightly older GT683. BF3 runs great but of course you have to have a good internet provider la. Larger RAM won't be as useful as you won't be able to customize your laptop in the future. At the moment 8g is really enough for your current GPU and CPU. SSD, well, it's definitely a plus to have for sure. I have SSD 120gb and seriously loading is super fast. My window 7 and games are set in SSD which is great. If you do not have budget constrain then go ahead and maximize it. It's definitely nice to have the best if we can afford it.
