MSI Gathering!

Dear MSI Users, here's some info i got from MSI Malaysia.

MSI will have a cocktail event for Lowyat.NET MSI Fan Club to take a close-up view of MSI’s recent product, particularly those laptops featuring Dynaudio. Apart of MSI Laptop powered by Dynaudio speakers, we will also set up a Dynaudio surround sound system. Words is that Dynaudio Principle is making an appearance as well. But no confirmation yet.

Theme: A Cocktail Party Exclusive for Lowyat.NET MSI Fans - Come and enjoy the music live from MSI laptops!
Time: Evening of May 10 (later notice if it changes)
Venue: TBA

Here i would like to help MSI Malaysia to do an interest check to get a clear headcount for them to prepare. Anyone who like to participate kindly notify me in this thread. Hehe.. everyone is welcomed, whether you owned a MSI Laptop or not.


Participants that are attending:
1. Sanko
2. viruz019 + 3/4 friends


Participants that might be attending:
1. NasiLemakMan
2. lonelywolf90


Video Reviews


Reviews from XoticPC




Reviews from GentechPC









Any video reviews from owner? tongue.gif




Problems&Solutions

1) The laptop does not come with Numpad, Scroll Lock and Caps Lock indicator. Which can be annoying from time to time. (Currently no solution yet, hopefully they will update the bios/software so when we turn on/off the 3 above, it will show at the screen or something.)

I ordered a MSI GX660R from GentechPC a couple of weeks back.  Had to chase around PosLaju phone tag to finally figure out it was sitting in Cheras waiting to be picked up.

Got it home, switched it on.  LAPTOP DOA WTF!!!!  Hard drive switced on but ... no screen, no display out of HDMI or VGA.

Spent an hour with Ken trying to get it fixed, no deal.  Took it in to MSI service center, guy figures it's a motherboard problem and tells me it'll take at least 3 weeks to get repaired WTF.

So much for a happy day of gaming.  I had to sent it back to Ken, though GentechPC are not even sure if they'll be refinding my postage, so I'm out about 600RM sad.gif

...

Anyway, enough complaining with my sad story.  Is there anyone local with these laptops in stock?  I'm too paranoid to order online again in case I get another DUD.

At least Gentech could do repasting for you and customise your laptop.

GTX285M = overclocked GTX280M with slight architecture update to adapt with i-series CPU's mobo. highest-end GPU for Dx10.1 so far.

GTX460M = using newer architecture with DDR5 support, so cannot compare with its previous generation (GTX285M, for example). have advantages in tessellation performance for Dx11 too.

its not a smart move if not upgrading to GTX460M... its like a whole new level already, at least in a year time where more Dx11 games is being released...

I think we wont get many DX11 games out even at the end of next year, as consoles are still using DX9. Probably need to wait till the next generation of consoles only we will see DX11 more often than now.

true that. i did read somewhere that PC games production will not be as much as before due to piracy... sad.gif

on the other hand, once Crysis 2 is being released, it should be a great programme for benchmarking purpose! laugh.gif

Not really, as now, we also have our PC killers, Metro 2033.

Even top of the range desktops have issues in trying to run it on maximum. M15x, G660 and G73 all just lagged beyond recognition with that game on max. Only can run on high.

I feel like having a Steam gamer list at the AW, G-Series and MSI Gaming Notebook thread for the mobile users so that we can play games together. Since we all are buying laptops, why not get together and have some fun if possible?

What do you guys think?

It can be Xfire, EA ID or Battlenet id too. It's up to you.

I think MSI have a good international warranty but just not at Malaysia i guess..since MSI Malaysia is not expanding their business or making themself famous here..where as other country the brand MSI seems quite famous..

some of my fren even ask me "What brand is this? MSI? O_O" then wen i say it's a taiwanese brand they were like "errr *give me the look*..good meh?" hahaha..if im not wrong..asus is also frm taiwan rite? hmm.gif

oh no! i bought that.not worth it..rm 25 i bought it..and it's NOT user-friendly!

the cable nothing wan..the cable is universal..can be used at anywhere..Adapter is the power brick

easier to understand see the link below:

US Power Cord:
US Power Cord Link

UK Power Cord *Which we are using here in MY*:
UK Power Cord Link

And the adapter / power brick is this:
How a power brick/adapter look like

jz incase: we plug the power cord to the socket at our wall..then connect it to the power cord..then power cord is connected to our laptop smile.gif

hope that helps biggrin.gif

here it comes another gx660 future user but not r version brows.gif

hopefully by next week..at first I chose g53jw but after I heard that i am like the 500th customer on the waiting list..straight away canceled it..he said the fastest i could get in the month of January..but its still depending on the stock though..after many reviews I read about this model..i decided to go for it..again hopefully i will not regret this laugh.gif

but the sound I heard is unbeatable..so far at the moment..in gaming notebook industry..which was the main factor I chose this..any true guys?

Well, performance wise..i dn see much difference between the g53jw and msi except the dx11 card and dx10 card

As a gaming laptop with that size, it's pretty lightweight comparing to all my previous gaming laptop

and again, i used to own dell m1730..i tot the speaker is the best until i heard the speaker of this laptop..it's really amazing..that is definitely the first thing u must try when u get this laptop tongue.gif

again, why not choose the gx660R version..updated processor, full hd screen..nicer to play with biggrin.gif

and also, if you're not gonna get so soon, can check when is the release date for the GX663..it comes with gtx460m instead of hd5870

also, recommended upgrades is the Diamond Carat thermal paste..really really good!

hmm..download speed? try check if your network driver is properly installed..as for the back..u mean the entire back or juz the exhaust area? try not to put the laptop facing too close to the wall..as the heat will bounce bak n hit the laptop.

for checking temp..i use HWMonitor happy.gif

ooo..sorry my bad! haha..goin to update the post now biggrin.gif..when will it arrive? and the IC Diamond thermal paste..makes BIG difference..based on reviews can reduce up to 1x degree celcius of heat tongue.gif.. dono hw good stock paste performs..but with the IC Diamond thermal..i ran 3d rendering for 2 days straight and the highest temp i get is 88degrees on HWmonitor which i bliv is good tongue.gif

referring to ken..it will be shipped tomorrow..so probably the earliest I would get it is next week..hopefully i will receive it safe n sound..wow 88 degrees with 2 days straight of 3d rendering is quite excellent.. drool.gif

the first thing I would do is to get black ops installed on this beast.. rclxm9.gif
dynaudio totally ftw.. i have no doubt about that whistling.gif

i did ask justin@xotic and ken@gentechpc which one they prefer between g53jw and gx660R..eventhough mine not the R version laugh.gif i did ask for their real honest answer fyi..they said easily they would choose this one.. notworthy.gif no offense to asus g series fan though..i really adore the design of g53jw to be frank..in fact g53jw was my first choice icon_rolleyes.gif

i was planning to get the g73 previously..then it was sold out..so i made up my mind n get this..the very first thing u must try when u get the laptop is not installing games or sumthing..is to enjoy the speaker 1st tongue.gif..make sure u pluck out the plastic tat is blocking the speaker..it's bad for it..i haven try black ops on my laptop..been using it on my pc only

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

btw guys, did u remove all the "plastic protector" that is wrap on the laptop? such as the backlid, the lcd outer later, the lcd, the touch sensitive surface and the power button.

i only removed the touch sensitive area..no idea where i can find a screen protector for our laptop..the screen..seems wider than normal 15" sweat.gif

Hi JC..you can get the GX660r from gentechPC..it's much much better IMO..since all of us get it there..find Ken Lee..

btw, when u purchase from Gentech, you can opt for normal dvd drive..that's wat almost all of us do..then with that extra money, we use it for the IC Diamond thermal paste upgrade..which is really worth it biggrin.gif

if you got any question do ask us..we will try our best to help u tongue.gif

poison is good tongue.gif. Yea truthful, MSI is not doing very good on their laptop for the past few years until this year. They are now in no.4 in most reliable brand tongue.gif.

The reason we get it from US, cause it's cheaper including shippign *when i buy my laptop, im unsure bout the price now* + their customer service is superb biggrin.gif *gentechpc*. As for changing power cord, you can easily get it at any hardware shop *sell pc stuff* for about RM15~20 only. So should be alright tongue.gif.

In ringgit..should be around RM5~6k, better get em now, since USD rate is really low now tongue.gif. Yeap! The i7 and 5870 is really good, additional option..add in the IC7 Diamond thermal paste. It's really good. I was rendering 3d stuff for 2~3days straight without shutting down and the highest temp i got was 88degree which is pretty decent. i din use any notebook cooler too tongue.gif

Don't know what you mean by "its a pretty hot laptop for its size" whether u maen the looks or the heat tongue.gif haha..but if u mean the heat, well it's pretty decent..i played starcraft 2 for 5 hours+ straight and the temp is pretty low tongue.gif

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! smile.gif

Thanks for answering for me Jeffrey tongue.gif

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 sweat.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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

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

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?

How long have you guys been using MSI gaming laptop?

I am planning to buy one too, but no confident since I have no friends using it for my reference.

Can you please tell me what are the cons of this laptop?

If I can accept the cons, I will accept it ^^

Hi there, i've been using it since September i think. First of all, this laptop is pretty good. so far i don't have any major problem with it.

for the cons..eventhough it uses LED for their monitor, i don't find it outstanding comparing to other brand monitor such as Alienware, i haven't try the Asus so i wont comment on it. But still it's acceptable.

The very first thing that will amaze you is definitely the design AND definitely the speakers. It will blow you out of this world for a laptop speaker! biggrin.gif. Some minor problem is it does not come with backlit keyboard..

The upgraded thermal compound is VERY worth it. Anyway, i though GX640 no longer available?

anyway, for the autocad..i use my gx660r it's better than my PC when im doing rendering. My pc is using i5 750 and hd5850 with 4gb ram..comparing to my laptop with i7 740qm, hd5870m and 6gb ram

as for shipping..it's around 7~15days

Hi all, first of all.. would really thank viruz019 for his effort on this thread. We, MSI Malaysia really own him much. I'm not sure whether this is the best place to provide information as not to be mistaken as "hard sell" so i'll just provide answers to those questions seen here.

1. Since the arrival of Sandy Bridge, we are not going to carry any old i5 models for our gaming series. Currently we are focusing in GE620 and GT680.
GE620: i7-2630M, GT540M 1G DDR3, 4GB DDR3, 640GB HDD.
GT680: i7-2630QM, GTX460M 1.5GB DDR5, 12GB DDR3, 1TB HDD 7200rpm (500GB x 2), Blu-Ray Drive, USB 3.0, Dynaudio Premium Sound.

2. I'm not sure whether is it ok to post the pricing here or not. Do enlighten me as there's a lot of pricing enquiry.

3. For those who are unsure where is our Notebook Service Center, here is the link. 22 branches all over Malaysia. http://my.msi.com/msinewmap.html

PS: Do note hesitate to PM me for any enquiry.

The SRP is RM6999 and Courts has stock. However during the previous Megatex, the launching promo is at RM5999. You can give Courts a call if you are interested.

Yes viruz!! enjoying it now,but dissapointed in the fact that Intel's released of the Sandy Bridge has big issues,hence Ken Lee of GenTechPC told me to use it first until MSI makes any further announcements.

I'll try to post my pictures of unboxing this beast some time later on~! drool.gif

i'll try to keep you all updated on the Sandy Bridge issue announcement. But too bad, IINM, MSI Malaysia is not allowed to entertain oversea-purchased notebook. referring to huyified. but since this is Intel problem, i guess manufacturers won't have any problem handling this issue cause Intel will most probably cover all the loses.

Dear all,
To clear the air, we are actually from MSI Malaysia, which is the Official Representative of MSI. It's some kind of a Marketing and Sales Support Office, but we do not deal with sales order. We only fulfill the sales order by our distributor. That is why we could only provide sales information. But not selling to. We could only direct you where to purchase it.

Anyway, attached is the MSI Gaming logo. Hope some of the MSI Gaming series user here would like it.

hopefully the default thermal paste wouldnt be that bad. I mean, i dont want to be voiding the warranty. and honestly, the reason i bought it, is for the 12gb ram ,sb processor and that powerful battery life with that amazing weight.

My work in my studies actually takes up a lot of processing power , memory power. And that battery life, with me being in campus most of the time , would be good for me. smile.gif

@razorboy:

just so you know, applying this will NOT void our warranty! tongue.gif..cause there is no sticker or label that tells u your warranty will be void if torn. Cause it's normal in gaming laptop, certain people would wanna upgrade hard disk or apply new thermal paste as we know gaming laptop tend to be heaty.

razorboy: no worries, the new batch of GT680 is definitely equipped with B3 chipset mainboard. currently MSI Malaysia has already halt all the GT680 sales. to clarify the pricing of GT680, it definitely won't be RM3699. but what i heard is that MSI Malaysia is coming out with a promotion, something like "Buy 1 Free 1." maybe you get a free netbook if you purchase the GT680. i'll update on this asap.

Dear razorboy,
Sorry for the trouble caused. maybe we didn't explain ourselves properly. we actually recalled all GT680 and will only bring in the latest B3 Chipset. if you are the one who called to MSI Malaysia Office, my colleague should has explain it to you. i'm sorry for his part. GT680 is the only notebook from MSI effected. Therefore we recalled all the B2 stepping GT680 and will only start selling it when the new B3 stepping GT680 arrived. i posted the announcement of Sandy Bridge Issue in the main Mobile Computing site. As i assume everyone may look at there before coming here.

Once again, we are sorry that we didn't explain this well.

nah..technology is like tat..we can never catch up with it..right now u get the latest gt680 with gtx460m and so on..but hu noes in the near future 3 -4 months later..they release gt690 with maybe i9 + hd6000 series mobile gc that pawns the gt680 even more?

so my advice is, enjoy what you have..don't set ur mind in chasing it too much tongue.gif

anyway, i manage to snap some comparison picture between the m15x and our laptop tongue.gif..sorry for the messy background..din have a proper background to snap with + im on a rush tat day tongue.gif

MSI GT680 for performance-wise in my opinion compared to the m15...but TBH I was poisoned by the m15x by its design,luckily viruz helped me out with his advice and i got through it.I've carried the gt680 to my college in a sling bag and its already a pain to your shoulder.I could not imagine what will happen if i were to take the m15x and hurt my spine and my shoulders to a further extend.

For the guys out there who have trouble making this decision,m15x to go if you prefer the bling bling and design type,but gt680 if ur looking for performance+enhanced audio performance.Plus,you've also gotta think if you're doing a presentation in college/university/work,the impression of using the msi and AW has a huge gap..how so?Well,you wouldnt wanna let people see how "bling bling"your laptop is huh?For those who wouldn't mind then all I can say is up to you.If you wanna look presentable and ready to present a matured document,MSI definitely win this bet.There are always pros and cons in everything so you will have to consider every aspect you want and your seeking for smile.gif

I've been using the 1st version of the GT680R now for 2months and havent encounter any problems with it yet.Yes of course i took care of it properly smile.gif.Just a word from my mouth,I've been through some AW discussions and happen to see some people are suffering troubles with their AW product once they got it or something like that,somehow the MSI is just a good piece of work sent to your doorstep in a perfect condition.

The Alienware M15X was definitely designed perfectly and its an eye-capturing product.Also,I am sure most of us are attracted to its chiclet keyboard which has LEDs below it that allows us to customize the colour by using the AlienFX when we're having party to show off or whatsoever.But trust me,I've also heard that this LEDs spoil easily if you keep using them,you wouldn't wanna see your keyboard blinking as though a bulb had fused but some current still made it through and lights it up,making it look ugly,we wouldn't want that now do we? sweat.gif .Still,based on my experience of suffering the poison of AW,I finally see it through that what I really wanted wasn't a piece of artwork,but the quality in it,that is the performance+audio that MSI has build in this laptop,the GT680R.

Yeah Viruz,MSI's releasing the GT780 which will possessed the ATI 6 series or the Nvidia 5-series,technology....oh well :\,as long as I am enjoying with my GT680R now,then it wouldnt be a matter XD.

Anybody who's still confused between the m15x and the gt680r,you can always look up on reviews and how are the laptops doing so far in terms of long-term usage and its performance.A fact that I can't deny regarding MSI,is their embedding of Dynaudio's technology into these laptops.The audio is magnificent or I can say....EPIC smile.gif

I agree with huyified..too bad..there's another contender right around the corner which is the Asus g53..i will do a full review on all 3 of em once i get my hands on them

well as u were saying..presentation..some presentation may require audio and video..this is where the MSI becomes really handy with their superb Dynaudio speakers! haha

Though i do have to agree that M15x feels a lil more solid than the MSI but im still satisfied with what i have..and btw, the m15x is not considered chiclet keyboard..regarding weight..as we said earlier, it's true that the m15x is a lot heavier..as it's original purpose is to work as a desktop replacement

MSI do have their bling as well..the orange lightning tongue.gif..i like to put it at breathing mode..jz love tose effect..but now i set my laptop to not run the msi led manager when i start up..cause kinda waste memory

and there's a few thing im quite confused with the laptop design somehow

for example, they shud have place the caps lock indicator, the num lock indicator..

at the touch pad area..i seriously dn get the idea why they want to place a moon logo there..*im no tsure what it is bt whenever my laptp is on..the light wil be on..and the touchpad have this 3 lights..i would like it to light up when my touch pad is in use..not when i disable it sad.gif..takes away the bling bling effect when we turn on their led tongue.gif

lastly, all MSI user, can u tell me..there's this "Windows Key" in between the turbo fan and Power on button..wat issit used for? O_O

oh yeah, im goin to order 3x anti glare screen protector..1 for myself..2 more..who wan pls pm me! biggrin.gif..price i dn tink will be attractive..but i can guarantee it's high quality wink.gif

Yup, the lack of keyboard LED backlight, num lock and caps lock indicators bugs me a little, especially when typing in the wrong password for a few times just because the locks are on and I don't know anything about it, although I personally don't care much about the bling effect though biggrin.gif. 3.7kg is quite light for gaming laptop standards, but still is a pain in the arse to carry around, especially around the university campus to my classes, that hurts my back alot sad.gif . It functions surprisingly well for school work though, thanks to the 9-cell batteries and the powerful Wi-Fi receivers.

By the way, the "Windows key" you mentioned, it is to prevent you from accidentally pressing the Start Menu button while gaming.

I would prefer a bagpack honestly. A sling back like that looks nice and i dont mind spending the money if its worth it. Having a sling back, puts pressure only on one shoulder. Very bad thing to have IMHO.It's better to have a backpack that looks cool and at the same time distributes the pressure evenly on both shoulders. at least if you're going to get muscular shoulders, it'll be both shoulders at the same time.

My knowledge of anti-glare from my iphone is that it's really thick. Well if we're going to look at the screen for long hours, without having occasional glares from surrounding lights reflecting on the screen would be nice. I mean like, syok syok gaming and watching movie, tiba2 got this annoying white light at the side or the middle. Straight beh syok. lol

actually an msi officer gave me a call, because i need the laptop urgently. they told me to call courts to see if i can ask them to make it a special case for me to get the laptop asap because the new gt680r is not expected to hit shelves until mid-march. I'm already almost 2 months behind time on all of my work which frustrates me the most. I'm not sure what is going to happen now because both sides have not called me back at all. Which is saddening. I have a feeling I will have to wait until mid-march, so im actually thinking of whether to go through with pre-ordering at 6999 with a netbook or 6299 for just the notebook at courts. dilemma

Added on March 4, 2011, 11:49 amI'm really suffering with the lack of a mobile device to work with. Since my desktop isn't going to be back in a month. No one is replying me on any news on the gt680r. If by next week I'm no where near it, I have no choice but to get a MacBook instead. Programming, virtual Os running, router simulation. The reason I wanted gt680 is cuZ of the high memory module, powerful processor and battery life. I really don't want to be on the MacBook side. I have a gaming rig already. So gaming isn't much of a problem for me. Argh. Somebody save me ! I'm 2 months behind time already. My
Gf's laptop is nowhere near able to substitute for my desktop

probably it's 1 year by Courts and the other year by MSI malaysia, you can PM MSI-MY regarding that

and @razorboy: Regarding the GT680..i think should be soon, since they are having their MSI pagent, and it's under GT680..so should be anytime soon..estimate by this month smile.gif..or maybe u can persuade MSI-MY to share with u the news wink.gif AHA

1 year by MSI, 1 year by Courts if you buy their insurance plan. Something about international one, where u spill water, also can warranty,notebook died, change. if you're overseas, died, contact courts msia, they contact personnels over there, u send in there, 1 to 1 exchange value for value.

about persuading. MSI AND COURTS, no one gave me anything. sad

Dear razorboy,
I just received the news that our GT680 is stuck with the customs but our disti is on the way to the customs to clear any related issues. And if possible they will directly fulfill courts once everything is cleared. It is expected the GT680 will be in Courst Store by this week.

Unfortunately I bought it online though, which means I'm going to have quite a bit of trouble when it comes to warranty... sad.gif

But other than the fact that I need to change the US plug head to a UK plug head, it is definitely a buy I would recommend. smile.gif

MSI GX640 is selling for 3.7K?

Is it using Sandybridge? 2630QM with ATI HD5850?

Is the warranty international?

Where to buy it?

As they said earlier, Courts. biggrin.gif

Well, unfortunately, GX640 is 2 generations older than the current GT680 sandy bridge line, it only uses a core i5. But yes, it still equipped with HD5850.

Thank you very much for your support. At this point of time, we hope that the GT680 you are to get will be running smooth. Really appreciate that you still opt for MSI even after such a long wait. We are happy that our effort is not meaningless afterall.

I do agree that MSI have really good products..look at their other range of products like motherboard and graphic card..im using msi gc + motherboard on my old pc since 6 years ago? and it's still kicking! tongue.gif

MSI got to me when I heard from my friend who bought one MSI laptop 5 years back. He tried all sorts of ways to destroy it so that he can buy a new one, but regardless of the measures that he took( excluding brute force), nothing worked. Which proves the incredible resilience that wooed me. Iphone with my gf -___ - upload pictas later. OMG. AWESOMe!

Hey,

I'm really interested in the GX660 and GX660r. I had two questions,

1) What is the pricing and availability of these two?
2) How is the warranty taken care of in M'sia? Also, How long is the warranty

I apologize if these answers have been answered in the forum already

I'm not sure about GX640 but GT680r has an option to turn on a fan. Try that? Another thing is on GT680r, it has this naturally stand allowing air-flow. So far I have yet to use a cooler for it. But if you're not using a cooler, I suggest a good air cooler? Or the old fashion table fan

There's a thread by my friend about Laptop Cooling. Here it is

Ahh my apologies sir. You seem to have a breadth of information about MSI.

I have about a low to mid 3K budget, should I look elsewhere? Or are there still MSI laptops in this range? If so, I would love some suggestions.

Not exactly. I just got to know because I have been chasing it down for a month or so tongue.gif . I suggest heading over to courts and taking a look at the GX640. If I have not mistaken, you can check a few pages back where some of them mentioned to be mid 3k.

Did u check the thread? Something called undervolting. Another one is, replacing the thermal compound? I myself wouldn't do it as I am not familiar with it. Do it at your own risk eh

replacing thermal compound is the best choice i guess. But it is dangerous, though i think you can purchase the thermal compound and ask MSI service centre to help u do the pasting.. not sure if they got help out though..cause i noe Asus Malaysia helps their user to paste the thermal compound for a price

How much storage are you using? In honesty, this is a general pc question. Not exactly really MSI specificially, it's just taking extra long for the boot loader to run.

Dear angelchong,
There's a lot of possibility here. But to make sure it's not hardware related problem, maybe you can try to do a recovery 1st. But make sure you save all your datas.

it's perfectly normal..don worry it's not hardware problem but possibly software problem wink.gif. You can try and reformat your laptop and you will notice your laptop is blazing fast tongue.gif.

Added on March 14, 2011, 4:15 pmI've been wanting to ask. i know i sound noob but since the notebook comes with a licensed win 7, how do i make a recovery disk? I've always heard of the concept but I've never had a laptop to do it until now.

recovery as in what viruz said, hit the F3 button? i did that once, it reformats my c drive. since i bought this until now, i didnt follow the instruction the paper given, creating the recovery disc thing cause i tried and i didnt really know how to do it.

other than loading slow, everything else is running fast and fine.

thanks for the help! unfortunately, i can't stop most applications which slows down my startup. 52 apps (41.7 seconds) cannot be removed with Soluto yet... how do i stop them? i went into msconfig and only 8 programs showed there. 15 second comes from system.

my pc takes 44 seconds to boot now, but weeks ago it took less than 20..

Type Services.msc on start menu.

or if want other method,
Install this, for Win 7 64-bit,
http://www.mediafire.com/?qd51gnamitd

Then do defrag using the built-in from Windows
Then open command prompt as Admin, use this command

xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot

Your notebook will be reboot for 6 times, just leave it idle while restarting, then check again the boot time...

i highly doubt it's wireless problem.

else you can have it check..or try speedtest.net

or both files are dl-ed at the same time? distance of laptop to wireless does affect too. Even slight position of the laptop to the wifi does matter. example.

my table can hold 2 laptop, but on my side when i use my wireless it's pretty fast but my friend who is beside me tends to be slower. Or maybe just my wireless sucks tongue.gif

Latest power-saving technologies
Turbo Battery+: The FX620, FR620, FX720, and FR720 come with Turbo Battery+ technology that lets you control power to an array of hardware, including Bluetooth, wireless devices, and the webcam, with a single click of the mouse. Now, you can extend battery time by shutting off devices not in use.

Shortcuts shut off power to idle hardware: Located above the keyboards of the new F Series laptops are five shortcuts. With one click of the mouse, you can eject a DVD, turn off the screen, or turn on the S-Bar, Turbo Battery+, or Cinema Pro, so when you're away from your computer for a few minutes, you can instantly shut off the display, so as to not waste battery power.

Dear virtualboy,
Sometimes webcam problem can be solved through firmware update. Maybe you want to try to check whether there's an updated version or not. But since FR620 is still new, it's still not included into the global web. Need to wait for it.

Dear razorboy,
Maybe you can try to update the System Control Manager which is for all the FN keys. It usually helps when there's bug on the FN keys. So it's the same to others as well, if you are facing problem with the FN keys, kindly check if there's any updated version of System Control Manager.

This has nothing to do with their marketing actually.It's Courts at fault. MSI-MY is the main distributor in MY. However, if the certain courts outlet did not place an order to MSI-MY for so and so model , MSI-MY will not send out stock to them.

No demand - No Supply

The touchpad is starting to get really annoying. Before this it was working fine. However somehow now it's just not working anymore. Even with it disabled, it's still running.

As razorboy said, it's not MSI fault. It's Courts fault as they do need get supply there. Besides, GT680r is not a cheap laptop and if you look around not much shop carry these kind of expensive laptops, even if you want to buy Alienware it's either you get here in the forum, order from Dell or wait for PC Fair. It's a risk carrying such expensive laptop as it's not easy to sell.

Window 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

If i'm not mistaken, it's already in the market. Maybe let me know your location then we will advice on where is the closest dealer has the stock.

For GT680 users,
There's a new BIOS update. Fixed several issues. Do flash the BIOS on your on risk.

Dear razorboy,
If you are unsure how to do it, it's quite simple actually. First create a bootable USB drive. Refer to the link below. Then download the BIOS and unzip the files to the bootable USB drive you have created. After that boot to the thumbdrive to DOS. In dos type "flash" and you are done.

PS: although flashing bios is not advisable due to the risk involved, but flashing the an updated BIOS may provide better stability.

I plugged my notebook to an exteral monitor. Acer S243HL. Although it's on 1920 x 1080. It's still, erm, I dont know how to explain. If the resolution is right, it should be sharp or smaller. Or something.

As now only Courts has the GT680, you can refer to the below link for the store location. But do call them first before you go there.

LOL, just joking wink.gif

I was planning to get 1 for myself, but I can't find the right device yet.

G53SW was close, but a stock 2720QM was not available with this model.

Sony even released a F217 model that stocks with the 2820QM, why not ASUS release maybe a model of G series esp the G53 and G73 with 2720QM and a GTX460m or GTX560m?

Ya, but somehow I still prefer the ASUS due to warranty issues, design & additional features like Turbo4Gear.

I just couldn't get over the G53 yet, I need time to mend by heartache unsure.gif

The Sager 8150 has 1 hdd bay only, that's another let down for me.

And it doesn't have a built-in bluetooth unlike the G53, sob..

Ntg else better than MSI GT680? =(

Seriously, that's 1 of the best 15inch laptop? =/

Sager wun hv a built in BT once I upgrade to the 6300, sob..

Regarding space, u're kinda rite.. I dun reli hv much use for an extra HDD, but sumhow I feel it will serve a purpose, RAID I suppose?

I'm in a dilemma, sigh..

Tell me about Sager's warranty.

Oh the Great Viruz019, enlighten me with your knowledge! XD

hahahaha..what great ><..im jz sharing based on my experience tongue.gif

for the 6300, well there's not much use here in malaysia other than the longer range of the antenna..so it will be a waste of $$ to upgrade to that tongue.gif

as for laptop, well there's alienware which is nicer but heavier..then the asus which looks good coz of their exhaust fan tongue.gif..and then there's sager..very well known brand + it's unique in malaysia tongue.gif and last but not least, the msi gt680

b4 i get my gx660r those 4 were part of my original plan..i skip out alienware and sager due to their weight..as i need a laptop to be used on the go..so it's down to asus n msi, i end up choosing msi for their fresh new look + dynaudio speaker is just overly tempting tongue.gif..luckily i din make the wrong choice smile.gif

ask everyone here, they have the same doubts b4 buyin their laptops, and u can ask if they were given a 2nd chance, wat laptop they will get tongue.gif..for me i will definitely stick to this msi smile.gif

Ya, but I can't have the same rig as my little brother. It's like, once he takes that model, he won't expect me to be having the same model as his.

This MSI GT680 is a great model, has 2 HDD bay (stock with 2x 500GB 7200 HDD), turbo fan mode (you won't need to bring along a cooling fan when you're out, convenient!) and great Dynaudio speakers.

MSI fans out there, I won't hesitate to tell you all that this MSI GT680 is definitely worth it, so go grab it! XD

Therefore, I have to source for another model which is as great or even better than his model. (I can't lose to him) XD

Ya, I want the 6300 for the extended range, I have problems like this in my house, so I expect this to be useful even in public wink.gif

I wun take Alienware, not worth the bang for bucks.
The least, ASUS dun sell their stealth fighter gaming series laptops as expensive as Alienware.

I'm only worried about Sager's warranty, mind explaining?

haha..well true also, i don't see the point of getting two similar MSI laptops tongue.gif. Well, for the extended range, you can always get a bluetooth dongle for your laptop tongue.gif. besides, think about it..how many times will you be using your bluetooth? I've only use my laptop's bluetooth for like..3 times? tongue.gif

anyway, if u don't compare the prices locally n overseas, then u'll find that alienware is actually worth it wink.gif..as for sager, well, if ur worried bout warranty issue, i suggest u get from mucro.asia..google them..they are based in singapore..anything happen u can owes drive up there or post there..at least it's still better than posting stuff over to US right? tongue.gif

Mucro?

Looks like I won't buy Sager from Gentech if that's the case.
I've checked Mucro but they don't offer a change on screen display for the 8150-S1, sad.
And Mucro is overpriced by a little =/

Well, bluetooth isn't that important anyway, I'll heed to u.

I wonder when I can get a laptop that has a GTX560m and a stock 2720QM processor, it would be perfect. I gues it's too late for me to take the 460m right?

I thought u'd fancy the 17 inchers more because they are usually cooler with better ventilation and gives space for better GPU upgrades like SLI etc..

Lol, 'ur egg', mayb I'm getting it wrongly but it's funny XD

Ya, 15 inchers rock!! =)

Sumhow I hope even that an ATI 6970m or Nvidia GTX 485m would be able to handle Crysis 2 at max settings.

Looking at the previous Crysis, d 1st of the series, maxing the settings would provide a near playable frame rate, imagine the graphics demand blink.gif

But I've heard that dis new CryEngine3 would not demand such graphical capacity and still provide graphical improvements, I just can't wait to play it drool.gif

You use 5850? Not 5870? I thought u're currently using GX660?

Don't tell me you're upgrading to 6970.. ohmy.gif

People, any news about GT780? I love the design!!

haha..i used to play crysis on 9800gtx at almost full settings..playable though will hve really low frame rate from time to time, then i try 5850, max settings in crysis warhead with max settings..same thing but higher fps at least tongue.gif

i mean my desktop is using ati HD5850..laptop is 5870m..planning to replace my graphic card to gtx470 biggrin.gif

GT780, don't put high hopes on it, MSI announce a few laptop and end up not building it..no idea why..but this GT780 sure looks good..but they take away Dynaudio sad.gif

--------------------------------------------------

updates: check this out! Seems like the GT780 not only have backlight, but backlight with colors! standing up agaisnt alienware? tongue.gif

"...It will however wait before they can acquire the MSI GT780R and GX780R since they are not expected until the end of Q2 rather see the beginning of the third quarter of 2011. These laptops should therefore make use of models launched for the new school year by MSI..."

Cool, the gaming experience u had in Crysis with those high end GPU that u had in the past must be eye-opening *jealous*

U planning to change to GTX470? Y not the GTX580 or GTX590 instead since u're up for high end?

Well, since the GT780 will have the GTX560m, definitely 2nd quarter of this year at least..

The backlit keyboard is added but they removed the dynaudio, I don't think it's a great idea..

However, isn't THX alright? The sound ain't that bad right? blink.gif

GTX470 is that expensive? shocking.gif

But if u wanna buy the 470, y not aim for 570 or 6970?

I heard 6970 is better and more affordable.. But seriously, I can't believe the 470 to be that expensive, omg..

U're a student at Cyberjaya? MMU? LKW?

I'm impressed, u're so willing to fork our so much $ for ur com..

Well, we jz gota hope MSI releases the GT780 with nice equipments and specs. N it muz b better than the GT680 =x

Ya, steelseries keyboard, it's just so cool!!

I've always heard about SteelSeries with their professional gaming gears..

If so, the keyboard in the GT780 must be very good, sensitive & anti-ghosting etc.. drool.gif

GT780 looks dam sleek. They opted for a more streamlined design and more solid-feeling chassis, while retaining the key design elements of the MSI GX/GT series.

Have to ask though, why is the demo set using a lower tier GT555M card though? Thought they would outfit a card of the same tier as the previous generation in it, such as the GT560M.

It's on notebookcheck though, although I've yet to see any official benchmark results. They estimate the performance to be in between 460M and HD5870 though.

Owh I see, that explains it now.. Still, it's expensive ohmy.gif

The GTX580 is expensive by a 150USD which accumulates to almost RM500? But what I see now in Malaysia, most GTX580s are being sold at around 1800, wow..

LKW student? What are you studying?

Sadly, I'm not from LKW tongue.gif
However, I hav a relative working there, 1 does networking(website maintenance etc) while another assists the superiors XD

I'm still unsure I'll be a MSI user or not, I aim for 15 inchers because 17 inchers are too big for me, and my lil brother already has 1 of the best of MSI, the GT680, no way I'm getting the same 1 as his.

So, I'm still playing the waiting game hmm.gif

Man, I envy Jeffrey, I wish to go to Cebit & CES every year Y_Y
