how MSI got started..

In 1986, Mr. Joseph Hsu, the founder of MSI, realized great opportunities in the IT industry and convinced four of his friends (Frank Lin, Jeans Huang, Henry Lu and Kenny Yu) with similar interest and professional skills to establish Micro-Star International - the birth of a legend in Taiwan's IT industry. The five founders all started from scratch with R&D production, marketing, services, product packaging and even shipping. Based on these revolutionary sentiments, MSI's management team has a tacit understanding of business, successfully navigating the industry for over 23 years.

insist on the best..

MSI believes that superior digital technology can improve life and is passionate about exploring the potential of a digital world by developing cutting edge tools; tools that easily and quickly utilize information, enabling users to freely express their own styles. Creating fantastic user experiences is the drive behind MSI's constant innovation. To achieve the best user experience, every component is essential. Therefore, in the past 25 years, "Insist on the Best" has been MSI's motto. By thinking from the users' perspective and devote full attention on every little detail, this philosophy makes MSI stand out as the most desirable product.

inovation and style..

In 2010, MSI established two additional core values: Innovation and Style. "Innovation" is a value that speaks for MSI's commitment to superior product performance and reliability. The idea of innovation is consisted throughout every product's entire life span. At the same time, we give serious consideration to the perfection of quality. "Style" is another value that brings freedom and expresses personal identity. MSI has taken the lead on portable and lightweight digital products that truly realizes user mobility and creativity. It also strives to showcase a type of art piece that represent one's uniqueness – such as the sleekness of a business professional, the elegance of a trendsetter, and the power of a gamer.

where is MSI heading from here..

For over twenty years, MSI had been making components for the big PC brands; the guts - the stuff inside the box. Over time, we realized we had great ideas and great designs of our own. Our motherboards and graphics cards are some of the best performing and widely used by enthusiasts. MSI's award-winning line of Notebooks and All-in-One PC are examples of what we can do now that we're outside the box. And with many new innovations on the horizon, our future only looks brighter.

MSI insists on the best and is your innovative partner for life.

Swordsmen,
Currently we are not providing Processor upgrade. Really sorry.

emy_xvidia,
You didn't purchase the Headset when you got your G-Series in the PC Fair?

emy_xvidia,
No problem, i'll try my best to make it faster. You bugged the wrong guy. "We should bug SteelSeries guys. Hehe.. regarding the mousepad, i'll see what i can do.

Thanks for the kind words. Now we know what we are doing is not a waste. We will continue to provide the best support to Lowyat.NET customers. Cheers.

EvOKIdZ,
Actually next year we are coming out with a blog, MSI Malaysia Blog and i will be doing the reviews. It's more toward technical review. So we will show the internal of our notebook and also some benchmarks. Hope it will help. In the blog we will include the SPR of our notebook as well as components.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[PF] T.J., thanks for your advice, we will look into it. i'll constantly update the pricing here anyway.

ngkhanmein, msi mobo problem? care to explain more?

ayil, the usual price for GT780DX with GTX570M (the only difference compared to GT783) is RM5399. so the price of GT783 is expensive because of the vga only, which is GTX580M. MSI is actually one of the few brand who manufacture our own notebooks. so the mainboard is manufactured by MSI ourselves. sorry to disappoint you, the warranty is only 2 years.

Quasi-Suave,
Yes it has arrive. Forgot to update here. There's 4 pieces left. PMed you the contact.

yuyuyu,
Currently there's only one reseller has GT780DX, which is Brightstar. PMed you the details.

Quasi-Suave,
oHH.. ok, i'll notify Brightstar to update you ASAP.

ADD: Sorry for the misleading information i have given just now. After checking, the stock actually arrived to our disti. So they are now in the process in fulfilling our reseller order. So you should get a notification soon.

1. The 1-on-1 only applies for the first 7 days after purchase. If you are facing problem with that you can always refer that to me or MSI-MY. Or directly contact MSI Malaysia office.

2. If newly purchased, we consider it DOA. If after long usage, then standard is 3 dead pixels. But still, it's case by case basis. If you got one very standout dead pixel and the location of it is in the middle, we will still accept.

3. We have our own authorized service provider. Therefore servicing/repairing is done locally. The parts is from Taiwan.
http://my.msi.com/service/msinewmap/

4. MSI-MY actually made an announcement about this. We allow Memory and HDD upgrade and if the seal is tempered, we still accept. We will only check whether there's really an upgrade performed once the seal is tempered. If yes, we still accept the warranty.

ADD:
After discussing with PM, we come to conclusion that we are offering 0 Dead Pixel Policy for all our G-Series from now on. Cheers.

ALeUNe,
Sorry for not replying. Missed your post. Thanks for your suggestion. We will try hard to bring in faster. And thanks for all the kind words, it will only make us work harder.

Xu3r,
I hope you understand the the situation here. As predicted, the reception for the GT783 is not high. We initially didn't want to bring it in. But finally decided to do a pre-order with 5 units as the MOQ. Without pre-order, i guess our disti is not willing to bring it in. If stucked with 5 units of 6k+ product, it won't be good for anyone of us. And i guess 5 units of MOQ is pretty fair. It's just an option we created for users a change to own GT783 rather to closed the door straight away.

emy_xvidia, irangan,
Thanks for the support. I deeply hope the notebook won't fail both of you in present and future. That's the best news for MSI Malaysia. Cheers.

tongaz86,
We are looking into that. I'll try provide a reseller list within next month.

xDingx,
Replied you in the other thread. Cheers.
