It's perfect enough for me! =D

AHHHHH!! DAM POISONS!!

*cover eyes*

crap now u make me wanna get it...AGAIN! T_T

virus019, I did warn ya

Think I should do a review?

Do advice me =)

viruz019 if you wanna buy , i recommend u wait for the gtx 570m version of this rig , should be out for selling in august

Agreed, the GTX570m is more powerful, better than the ATI 6970m even =)
However, speculations I heard mentioned that the price tag will be more expensive.. You get what you paid for =)

kailoonthedog, you waiting for the GT780DXR too?

Dear lonelywolf,
Thanks for purchasing the GT780. Waiting for your review, excited!! Hope you are satisfied with it. Cheers.

Dear Deckard Cain and lonelywolf90,
Would appreciate if you could share with me the Price and Spec you got for the units both of you bought. Since we are trying to focus in the Gaming Market, we will try our best in pricing wise. Such information will be helpful for us. Although very little can be done. Anyway a piece of information for you all, lately we appointed a Gaming Ambassador, Tan "Shizuma" Lyn Xhin. She will be given a unit of GT780 as part of our sponsor. Her unit is in our office now. If you are with us in Facebook, you should be able to see it. Cheers.

Added on July 5, 2011, 2:15 pmI think the pricing quoted locally when I approached a shop in Low Yat was pretty insane.. They quoted me at RM7400 for the same spec and it nearly gave me a heart attack. I was browsing for GT683R price online but thought I would go to low yat to save me the trouble of asking my aunt to buy it for me and pay shipping costs but when they told me how much it would cost locally, I was pretty shocked. I think I would've paid a little bit more but def not RM7400. Below is the specs that I've ordered :

CPU : Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM Processor (6M Cache, 2.00 GHz)
Memory : DDR3 1333MHz, 16GB
Graphic card : Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M 1.5GB GDDR5
HDD : 750GB + 120GB SSD
Optical drive : Blu Ray + DVD RW
LCD : 15.6" (1920 x 1080 FHD)
Battery : 9 Cell

and the usual ports 2 usb 3.0, 2 usb 2.0, 1 HDMI and 1 VGA. I just realized they are offering a better CPU at gentechpc which is the 2920QM but it costs a bomb. Btw, I did not buy it from gentechpc. I got my great grand aunt to buy it for me from the US and it cost about RM6500. Ironically she works for Mac in the states. . Anyway, am hoping to see it being brought locally for a reasonable price. Am gonna poison my brother in buying the GT780R. It's time he got his laptop changed

That's the advantage of buying gaming notebooks overseas. Their prices tend to be a lot less compared to the local prices, even inclusive of shipping and delivery costs. Although getting warranty for your laptop will be a b**ch though

By the way, may I ask what brand of SSD are they offering? Corsair? Intel? or something else altogether?


PS: lonelywolf90, STOP. POISONING. US.

yeap..wud be great if u do a review..im finally free but i feel like my laptop is too outdated to do a review .

advice u on what? as in how to review n stuff?

Nah, im skipping this chance for now, this year is my last year in uni..wanna save up my money first..i have plans to open up my own shop probably next year...want to find MSI to get reseller rights

Man, im so jealous now ..i wish i have talents like them till i get sponsorship

BTW, seems like MSI is starting to do a lot of promoting..that's a good news ..last time MSI is pretty dead/quiet..wud be great if u guys can make some small roadshow showcasing more msi product to local market..cud spark something up

i agree with spiritviper ..it makes me wanna get the gt780 as well..hand really itchy..*sigh*

Yeah, sadly they're overpriced here. I can understand the amount of unit MSI is selling here hence some models do not make it and other retailers would take advantage by putting cut throat prices. I'm not too sure about what brand of SSD it comes with. I'll let you know when I do get it. Yeah the warranty's gonna be something I have to live with but so far I hear MSI is doing great on providing services. So shouldn't be a problem hopefully.

@viruz019 Good Luck on your new shop. Am gonna be regular but must give discount kay?.

Like that wait very long wor.. every few months got new card. Cannot tahan eh. What if suddenly there's news that they are including SLI?

They cannot include SLI as the MSI is not enough to power it , that's why you see they use gtx 570m instead of gtx 580m now

Added on July 5, 2011, 7:09 pmI thought you study game design??Not going to work in that field first before opening a shop???Oh ya when open and get MSI right try to get MSI to offer all those privileges they given to US people at here so that MSI brand will be famous at here and cheap because many people will buy.And can i get any advantages if i buy MSI laptop in your shop XD

IF i got open, it's just a business proposition my friend brought up to me..hahaha..im guessing it wud be pretty expensive to open up a pc shop..still tinkin

hahaha..tat is true..n if new cards i reli don mind..since i can wait..but the most tempting part is..when they come out with new card and they put it into a NEW pc..nw tat is tempting..
this is what's happening now..i jz got my gx660r not even a year..then i tot im gonna be very satisfied..they come out with new gc im still not tempted to get it..then MSI intro GT780..the poison begins

U noe most people study in a particular field and end up doing another thing? ..well im one of those guys..but then i will be working part time for creating a game..

actually, i think you guys have read it before but just incase for some of you who left it out..

MSI-MY did mention why their stuff is expensive..reason is because when they bring in stock for the gt683 and gt780..they brng it in a low quantity unlike in US they get it in MASSIVE quantity..thus the price difference..if MSI malaysia sell it at the same price as US, they will be losing money or earning very lil profit..

but no worries, i strongly bliv sooner or later the price for msi laptop will decrease..why? well, based from what im seeing..MSI products especially laptop are starting to get well known in malaysia..so sooner or later, they are gonna get high demands thus they will bring in more products leading to decrease in prices on their product since they save more on shipping ..let's just hope my theory is right

I want discount from you when you open pc shop @Viruz019 XD

@Deckard Cain, hehe, thanks =)
Took it with a DSLR, pretty awesome

@Spiritviper, you make me feel like envenom you even more XD
But I can't snap any more pics, the DSLR had to be returned to my friend soon =/

@viruz019, I meant advice on the video review. It's gonna be my first time and I don't intend to screw it up..

MSI is just doing great since this year, it's getting popular in KL, not in Kuantan though.. Everyone here is wondering why I bought a foreign brand and don't see any value as compared to an Apple =.=
They do acknowledge about ASUS though, getting popular here too.

Viruz,good to know that you are planning to open a shop, I wanna be a regular as well XD
