The next batch of GT780DX is coming next week or latest the following week. And only 6 units due to HDD shortage worldwide. As for the newer generation of GTX580M, we have no plan to bring in it as it cost close to USD300 compared to GTX570M. We won't be bringing the GTX580M in near future.

Tips: if you want to know MSI models in Malaysia. Goto my.msi.com and use the search function. There we have customize the website to show local spec.

Sanko, how much per unit would you expect it to be if MSI My bring the newer GT783 model with GTX580M? Is it the same as US spec with SSD + HDD? Why didn't bring in? Maybe can try bring 2 units 1st. Im sure there's market in Malaysia.

Any good? It's more than good, at least it fulfills our gaming needs. A GTX570m is definitely good enough for high end gaming on the go.

The newer ones coming will be the GT783 that u've mentioned which is limited as far as I know.

And very costly as well, USD2399.

Hmm, about US laptops compared to Asia's, there are not much of a difference. The difference usually lie in the specifications only but they are now very similar.

Look at Msia's model, it's the same as the MSI GT780DX-215US SKU except with the Malaysia model uses the updated i7-2670QM which is better.

MSI MY picked that specs because it is suitable enough for us, in fact, I believe that is a great pick.

Compared to the ASUS G74SX, the GT780DX does bring more performance at a bang for buck.

You won't regret owning this rig, I'm very satisfied with mine

If you wait some more, it might be an Ivy Bridge upgrade but it will be long.

Not to completely shut down the GTX580M door completely, this is what the best MSI Malaysia can do. Updated in the first post.

GT783 Preorder
After some feedback, we decided to launch a Pre Order for those who wants an ultimate gaming notebook powered by one of the most powerful Graphics Card, GTX580M. As mentioned before, the price for GTX580M is around USD300 more compared to GTX570M. Therefore the price is on the high side. For this pre-order, we will only bring in if it hits 5 units of order. And customer is to pay 50% deposit upfront. After the MOQ is met, the shipment will arrive around 3-4 weeks.

GT783 [17.3", 1920 x 1080, Intel HRV i7-2670, NVIDIA GTX580M 2GB DDR5, 8GB, 750GB 7200RPM, Dynaudio Sound, SteelSeries Gaming Keyboard with Backlight, Win7 Premium] - RM6499

PS: I hope Lowyat.NET is ok with this kind of pre-order as our aim is to fulfill potential customer dream to get a notebook equipped with GTX580M.

Omg keep me updated , how to preorder and how to buy and is it original etc.

GT780DX isnt a high end.. more like close to high end...

It cannot run ultra settings with 40++ FPS in BF3 at all

Most people run lower resolution

Xu3r,
As stated above, the time it arrive is depending on the MOQ. Once it's met, then MSI Malaysia will proceed to order it. Cheers.

Xu3r,

With the low clocks, the GT570m allow a lot of space for overclocking. Once overclocked, playing ultra in FHD 1920x1080 will be fine. Not around 40++, but playable

I've not tested this myself, but this video might be convincing enough

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzLgq1Cm_u0&feature=g-user

From that video, I believe it is not overclocked to the max yet.

For me, it's high end enough. But I guess u're a hardcore 1 eh?

So, based on your requirements, u'd go for the GTX580m version right?

US spec got 128GB SSD + 750GB. If can get the same spec as the US one at that price, Im very tempted to sell my current GT780 to get the GT783!

Yeah why Malaysia version no SSD ...

Actually, y not just the 750GB version and make your own purchase of SSD? That would be better too, isn't it?

For reliability, you could opt for the Intel 510 or Crucial M4. For speed, you could go for the OCZ SSDs.

I wonder what will the price of the GT783 become if it is stocked with an SSD, it could reach RM7000-7500

Exactly what lonelywolf90 said. We thought that why not let the consumer decide which SSD to go with.

Haha, cheers!

I believe MSI-MY is doing the right thing, letting consumers pick their own SSD would be a better choice.

If you opt for the SSD version of the GT783, it'll most likely be a Transcend 128GB SSD.

Anyway, the 750GB HDD is a Western Digital, just incase any of you is curious. It's a reputable brand, therefore the HDD is reliable

what i meant was, that price with the factory-stocked SSD.

RM5399 is the current GT780DX price in Malaysia.

With a GTX580m, it should add another RM900-1000+, a SSD itself with the provided capacity(128GB) would cost almost a thousand. Therefore, how can it be possible to still become around RM6399?

MSI would be at loss this way, haha..

If it was RM6399 with SSD along, I suppose many would grab it. But still, the stock is very limited.

msi just keeps getting better

fair pricing... top level hardware...

Still it is rarely recommended in the Notebook Recommendation thread. But we will keep trying hard so that it can be a "mainstream" brand to be recommended more often. Looks like we really need to gear up with our design. Finger crossed.

Perhaps you guys can try by increasing the publicity of MSI laptops (like what you're doing now?)... Brochures/ flyers would be nice since its very hard to get hands on the pricing and models all this while

Anyway, its very good to see competitive models like the GE620Dx/620Dx-FHD coming up from MSI~ A good start I would say~
Hopefully we'll be able to see more models for the subnotebook category ~

problem does msi mobo solved already??

But when is the GT783 coming out ...
