nope, i heard from my friends and dealer that there is one in lowyat center(2nd floor if i remember correctly) and he said only take up to 1 week longest. and msi lappy rarely got problem as far i as i know.

i5 ivy is coming out mid june so i guess if can wait till that time then many lappy will soon come out after that, just matter of time.

ok..and so we wait till mid june

yeah, wait for more choices to chose from. hope there are more awesome affordable gaming laptops release soon

but the msi laptops are expensive bro, the msi ge60 which has only nvidia gt660m is rrp rm4399,,that is rm400 more than the g55 which has gtx660m,,.the stronger msi gt60 which has gtx670m is rm5000 above, not sure will be spending that much money just for a gaming laptop...for that rm5000 can get a super powerful gaming desktop. dont mind spending rm4399 for the msi ge60 with gt660m, but the graphic cArd is less powerful than the g55..what do you think bro?

lol gpu is not the only unit that is in the laptop, gt series has steel series keyboard and gt and ge has both thx sounds system. their quality built is definitely much better than asus's built, this is another reason why asus spoil easily.

btw ge series price has droped 200-400 already and it was long time ago when this laptop 1st introduced. hopefully they will introduce better one the following months.

ok thanks but the gt60 is way over my budget and i already bought the g55 btw..maybe my next gaming laptop i will try the msi..
even the msi ge60 has steel series keyboard..i
agree with you that the quality built is higher than asus, this results in higher price range
what to do? we can only buy the laptop that we can afford, and im going to college in july thats y i bought the g55 is the msi gt60 and ge60 released?

I honestly wouldn't say that. I have my fair shares of interest in the MSI laptops as well after a few frustrating moments waiting and searching for my then G53sx (now G55). You just have to keep watching/reading the reviews about the MSI gt60/70. The materials aren't actually that excellent. If i am to be honest, it is lower built than better built compared to the Asus G series. Also, not to mention their heating system are no where as good as ours. A reviews has stated that the temp heats up significantly during gaming, and the fan can get really loud. I honestly dont recalled Asus being known to spoil easily, they're mostly known for their awful after sales service. MSI on the other hand, has lesser users in Malaysia. So to compare it to Asus, it's kinda unfair. And i'll go back with the same ol thang again, no laptop brands that has a better build quality than the others the only difference it makes is their warranty service. Even Dell has problems with their laptops.

The gt60 has a steel series backlit keyboard, but dont take this as the same as the alienware's keyboard. Alienware's keyboard has a light range that is just nice for the users. But it is still nicer than Asus G series, it is sad that the Asus G55 doesnt come with colors variant keyboard. And don't get me started on the Ge60/70 the first thing that put me off is the pathetic design.

But in terms of performance, MSI offers better deal than Asus G55. I was really into the MSI gt60, and would have gotten that if budget wasn't an issue. Actually, i'd have prefer to get a fully maxed out Alienware m17x if budget is not an issue

yeah i agree with the hot temp of msi laptop which is a big turn off for most of the people. However my impression of asus is like plastic and msi is like metal lol..
i heard asus has alot of hardware design and firmware programming problems. so i am not sure myself.. i guess many people say depends on luck.

actually the design of the g55 is far more gaming like compared to msi..and after reading some reviews, i noticed the main problem of msi is temperature increase very fast..gt60 is around rm5000 plus and has gtx670 3gb gddr5...but since heating is a problem, i would not choose msi Gaming laptops because heat makes the components spoil..on the other hand, g55 and g75 has superior cooling system and DAMN quiet,..if budget wasnt a issue, i would also get the maxed out alienware m18x special edition with two gpus in crossfire of sli..thats right, there is another more powerful alienware which is the m18x..the ratio of msi to asus laptops users is like 1:50..

anyways just for fun, check out the m18x

going to digital mall penang later

Actually, the rubberized material is what makes the build quality gooding too many people have said many things on other laptop brands as well. But in the end, it depends on luck. I just hope mine wont come in faulty after the long wait..

there was a guy selling an overseas set for m18x for rm5500. Low end specs, but still good. I'd have gone for the m18x if portability is not an issue. Other than that, i'd love to own an AW in the future

I, on the other hand has already given up hope for this week as well. Although it's only the first day. It's better to keep my hopes down instead. But good luck on your find bro

A good way to get the g55

Added on May 28, 2012, 1:27 pmIt is not worth it bro to spend alot of money to get a gaming laptop which is more than rm5k above..with that money, we can get a super powerful gaming desktop that we build on our own

This post has been edited by Arvinaaaaa: May 28 2012, 01:27 PM

like i mention before in this thread, the only reason is for portability

once I've settled down with my education/work. I'm gonna build a workstation instead. Maybe at that time, i'll not game anymore

edit: i've also decided to get the Astro Scout Backpack as well.

Hi Sky,
Could you ask about the RAM? Some shops are saying its 1333MHz, some 1600MHz.
Also, the price and availability if they don't have it now.
And how much is the maximum RAM we could upgrade without voiding the warranty or sending the laptop to the dreaded Asus Service Center Hulktichian.

Saw another funny review where the user was complaining about the weight & the lack of a ROG Wheel Barrow to cart the G55 around in.
http://www.amazon.com/G55VW-ES71-15-6-Inch...howViewpoints=1

Btw, I did email Asus & all I received so far is "We are looking into it & will get back to you". This is about 3 weeks back & I asked again as recent as last week. But no reply yet.


Thanks,
Dbassnut.

Ok..nice backpack..and hope you get the g55 soon..the g55 for me is until my university only, once finish say hello to the custom gaming desktop..btw, what can a workstation do? Is it same like desktop? Im sorry but I dont know anything about workstation.

Edit; you dont like the everki backpack?

This post has been edited by Arvinaaaaa: May 28 2012, 01:42 PM

Yeah, it's a desktop. But using different gpu.

mainly for architectural softwares and rendering lo there are portable workstation like the Dell Precision laptops. These laptops are using a different type of gpu we normally seen in our laptop, and are generally stronger. Although some mentioned that the gpu used in the workstation are not suitable for gaming but i've seen people gaming on it as well. Haha, maybe fps not that good la. But the problem is, portable workstation cost just as much as a maxed out Alienware m18x but since im just a student, dont need such computer yet. So g55 will do hope it'll last me for 3-4years.

I like the everki beacon backpack, but i prefer the astro scout design also, its good to have different backpacks owner so can give review/opinions for new owners of this beast

Added on May 28, 2012, 1:53 pmI think there are many G55 users here mentioned that the RAM is indeed 1600mhz already and even posted image of it as proof can't trust the sellers word for it. Sometimes they also not sure about it themselves. And if i'm not mistaken, there are 2 user accessible slots for RAM and another two not user accessible slots for RAM. Not sure if you'll void the warranty if you max your RAM. Cause i'm planning to max mine to 16gb.

and that guy probably doesnt know that gaming laptop will be this heavy

Oh..so finally I found what uses the nvidia quadro gpu..turns out to be workstations who r using them..for architecture, workstation is good..btw have you received news from devour?

Edit, that guy thought gaming laptops weight like netbooks and ultrabooks..seriously, I emalied him yesterday..and that is what he said

This post has been edited by Arvinaaaaa: May 28 2012, 01:58 PM

Not gonna bother anymore. Ask also no use just hope that my laptop will arrive fast and safe is already enough. Will just focus entirely on my portfolio now.
