Thumbs up for the start of this thread

Will be supporting MSI all the way.

Kudos to the reps!! ;D

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

My unit is from US, I have no problem with the power cable, just replace it to the UK version that we are normally using. You can easily find cables in computer shops and electronic shops.

Btw, the GT780DX comes with the 180W power brick, the power cable is the same that is used for computer desktop power supplies, it's definitely very common and easy to find.

Ya, the disadvantage of buying overseas is the lack of the extra 1 year warranty in Malaysia, I suppose that's all

Since not many are willing to afford the GT783, u might as well just order overseas

So far there are 2 versions of the GT783R

a) with 128GB SSD, 750GB HDD and 16GB RAM (~2499USD)

b) with 2 750GB HDD and 12GB RAM (~2299USD)

Shipping fee costs that much? Wow.. U ought to requote that, mine wasn't that expensive and it included insurance..

USD2299 would be around RM7250+ currently, US currency went up, not good for u XD

Y not stick to the GT780DX? I believe it's powerful enough, how high end you want to go?

A Sager or Alienware M18x could satisfy your needs if you're really into the hardcore gaming. SLI GPU man!

Most of all, what's your budget?

Sanko no longer part of MSI?

Saw him being in ASUS Malaysia now..

I hope MSI-MY is able to provide a thread to replace this dead thread. Many users are curious about the pricing for MSI new range of laptops.
