I recommend not to take msi gt 780r now if possible because there's some problem with the keyboard actually , many people complain and i think msi is aware of it that's why i think they'll fix the problem for batch B , and also there's news regarding gtx 580m already , i think i'll wait and see whether msi will rebadged this modelw ith gtx 580m or not then i'll take it , but the first thing is the keyboard problem must be solve else i won't buy it

Mine comes with 560m and already paid for it so I'll just suck it up and enjoy what I'll be getting. I think the 683R will last me hopefully 2 years at least to play my favourite games at least on High or Mid setting. So far the 560 cards benchmarking is pretty decent. Good thing I don't play much shooter games so my requirements are pretty low. This post has been edited by Deckard Cain: Jun 24 2011, 05:00 PM

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-MSI-GT...ok.56040.0.htmlThe reviews are amazing. I have to say i like the non gloss finish to the GT780R. How much do you think this will price at? Also, this website.. they benchmark every single laptop graphic card.. for real or not?

It's funny that the one of the feature is the keyboards which is steelseries. it shouldn't have this kind of problems given the quality. Maybe it's just some small badge released with manufacturing defects. I'll definitely check mine.. every cm... make sure no scratch, no defect no smudge.. finger crossed.. won't have a single problem. so far i haven't read anyone who's already got the GT683R. Does anyone have it already? Mind sharing something about it?

QUOTE(Deckard Cain @ Jun 24 2011, 12:45 PM) Really look like a Disco Boom Box.. am loving it.. just wondering if i do work presentation.. ppl will freak out or not.  Added on June 24, 2011, 12:50 pmI see.. I think there's a safe bet that at least it is warantied by US Sager but the thought of sending it back to US. it will take a considerable amount of time before you get the repairs done and get it back. What is the average time it takes for lets say a graphic card issue to get it replaced and returned? I know this is something my dad would buy.. he's hardcore when it comes to beast machines and gaming. In term of repairing process, I think I should explain that every branded notebook service center has to import parts from foreign country except Dell (headquarter in Penang), they normally don't keep stock for that because it will generate high depreciation cost. Same thing happens also to Dell if the repairing machine is very old, which the parts are hardly secured in the market, then maybe you have to wait for 3 to 4 months time. My friend acer machine 8600gt spoils, it takes half a year to be fully repaired. I am not sure for other dealer repairing process, but for our company, it usually takes 2 weeks up to 4 weeks.

Hi angelchong there's not recovery partition in this gamine notebook as RAID 0 is set as default , so from the time you buy the laptop you should immediately create a recovery DVD so that if anything happen you can use it.But now since you din do so , i think only solution is reformat
