Guys, planning to get an MSI GE620DX. Best price I can get at Lowyat is RM2.8k, but heard it gets hot easily.
Is it a worthwhile buy do you think?

Pro: For the FHD version, FHD is good. For the SSD version, you don't see SSD spec 15" laptop at this price point too frequently. Good keyboard feedback. Trackpad is up to personal taste, but key need to be clicked stronger than usual. Good speakers and sound. Con: 2nd gen i7 and i5. GPU outspeced by models by other brands at similar price point. Glare screen (personal taste). Heat: I generally find MSI slimmer models in current generation tend to have this problem. Maybe the design wasn't the most effective. If you plan to get it for gaming, there are better spec (CPU and GPU) laptop out there.  The version is: Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM Processor Speed : 2.2 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.1 GHz 15.6” Resolution : 1960 x 1080 (FULL HD) LED backlight Nvidia GeForce GT 635M 2GB DDR3 VRAM 8GB DDR3 RAM 750GB 7200rpm There's no SSD, which I don't mind, as I don't consider price point worth it (I used ultrabook for work until I resigned recently). I am considering it due to my situation (Desktop replacement) but need to be below RM3k. My requirement is also preferrably i7 and MUST have 8GB DDR3 RAM. |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Nov 1 2012, 12:07 PM) Lenovo Yeah, the Lenovo sounds great I agree.Ideapad Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty; *W8 (white) version upcoming If you are into gaming, this is nice. CPU out-spec GE620DX, GPU is better by miles. Again check out the garage sales threads, you can get the cheapest version + upgrade the RAM to 8G with < RM3k. I wonder where I can get that exact pricing, but I can't live with W7HB (need W8  ) and upgrade.Tried looking at online retailers but their versions are all different (tech hypermart sells with NVidia GT650 instead) and no option to upgrade to 8GB..... |
