MSI makes really solid laptops for a great price. I'm not sure if anyone remembers the GX420. It was like one of the most powerful 14" of its time. A Core 2 Duo P8400 with an Nvidia 9600GT for RM4k, specs that were mostly found in 15-16" gaming laptops.

Mostly not so eye-catching design and not enough marketing. Plus, they don't focus so much on their mobile sector compared to their computer hardware.

Afaik, MSI's mobo problems are long gone. Something like Acer and their laptop quality.

Solid and the design is kinda plain and no nonsense on most of their units including some of their gaming series. Only lately have they experimented with more daring designs.

Bleh... the GDDR5 version. In terms of raw power where memory is not really a concern, the GDDR3 one is still more powerful due to the increase number of stream processors and memory bandwidth.

QUOTE(sleepygeepy @ Jul 24 2011, 04:44 PM) You're right, according to Anandtech the GDDR3 version of the Geforce GT 555M has more CUDA cores, TMU's, and ROP's The GT555M GDDR5 version is basically a faster GT540M. Same chip, just faster memory. AnandTech Mobile Graphics Guide, Summer 2011 http://www.anandtech.com/show/4475/anandte...e-summer-2011/3 I guess the Geforce GT 555M GDDR5 version in the MSI should perform better than the Geforce GT 540M but also perform slightly less than the Geforce GT 555M GDDR3 version. This is still ok because MSI is making this particular laptop SKU available to compete with the likes of: - Lenovo Y470, Y570 - ASUS N53Sn (and upcoming replacement model) - HP DV4 and HP DV6 with Radeon HD 6750, and 6770 (respectively)  The N53 replacement unit will come equipped with a GT555M which is most probably the GDDR3 version. |

QUOTE(Trance4eva @ Jul 25 2011, 01:06 AM) how can a GT540M OC to a GT555M speed. GT555M Type B is equipped with GDDR5 instead of the GDDR3 found in the GT525M, GT540M and GT550M. Other than that and clock and memory speed, everything else is the same.GT555M and GT540M has a quite huge performance gap. GT540M has a Memory Bus Width of 128bit while GT555M is 192bit also GT540M has 96SP while GT555M has 144SP The GT555M Type A is using GDDR3 which has the 192 bit bus and 144 SP. |

All I can say is, the M14x's business will drop if people are just aiming purely for specs.

1080p would probably be too much for this GPU.

Hah, then that should be fine. If 1600x900 resolution is offered at this price, can say bye bye to the M14x.

If it's 900p however, a lot of people will freak out and rush to get it.

64 units? Possibly a launch day sellout if there's enough publicity.

N45SF and GE620DX both use the same GT555M. The crippled Type B2 with 128-bit instead of the full 192-bit.

Plastic is never a good material for resonance.
