Oh Ya, only available not in Malaysia.

Hmm, usually laptop sold in PC fair has no discount or may be RM100~200 with a lot of bundle gift such as mouse,16 in 1 tools, games and ram, ssd if luck enough. Then they will tell you: Wow, free gift total of RM1xxx or RM5xx kind of gimmicks.

My advice: if you are lack of accessories, you can consider purchase via PCFair. Otherwise, I suggest you buy from storm88 with upgrades you want, he may have a good discount for you.

I know 860M has two variants: Maxwell based and Kepler based. Maxwell is with 640 cores; 128bit bandwidth which currently 2014 MSI GE series will be equipped with.

I just doubt your second statement, bcs Kepler based 860M has 1152 cores; still 128bit bandwidth.

Guys!!

For new GS lineup, gentechpc has unboxed GS60 Ghost, take a look:

You still want to buy?

1152 cores with 128 bit bandwidth, performance quite close to 770M.

Considering the form factor of GS60 as an attractive feature, pricing also close to new GT60 (RM5699 vs RM5799).

For those who dont care about thickness and weight, new GT60 is a good buy (870M close to 780M performance), otherwise, GS60 is an alternative (Kepler 860M at least on par with 770M performance)

I think is okay, imagine 2013 the lowest price model equipped with 770M is Illegear RS-15 Lite with RM4999. Now you can have a on par 770M performance with RM4299 of new GE60/70. Just you need to sacrifice a bit in cooling performance. Overall, 860M is worth to go.

You can refer to my links shared for 2014 GE60/70 here:

Guys!! Take a look on GT60/70 Dominator review by GentechPC!!

only watching movie? Do you try using different media player?

you can try Powerdvd 10 which comes with your laptop, freeware I recommend Potplayer, it is Korean but you can find an English version.

BTW, I suggest you try to find out is it your screen (hardware) problem or driver (software) problem. Maybe start with reinstalling Intel driver and tune its settings

I dont think I get it wrong, bcs you are saying that MXM based 860M is 770M, which means kepler 860M = 770M with more shaders,less memory bandwidth.

In fact, from anandtech source I shared:

"On the one hand, the Kepler-based 860M will use GK104 with yet another SMX and a memory channel disabled, giving us 1152 cores running at 797MHz + Boost and a 128-bit memory interface. This will probably result in performance relatively close to the previous generation GTX 770M (slightly higher shader performance but slightly less memory bandwidth)."

We know 770M uses GK106, so from hardware point of view, both are not same, but performance similar.

Nevertheless, no matter which 860M is based on, both should have similar performance with 770M. But I wonder why Nvidia want to release 2 different 860M.....

You are welcome

Thanks for the comparison photo, I also planning to upgrade SSD, come to learn about it.

Now close to April, US stock should be available soon, suggest you take a look on notebookreview forum too as there are sellers and first hand info to know about Y50. I will look into GS60 whether it has 4~6 battery life, if 3~5 is quite resonable. But price of GS60 will make you consider Y50 as I believe Y50 is price at the range of new GE60.

Cool man!! Wait for your photo and review!!

Wow!! But why CPU-Z shows 4900MQ instead of 4810MQ? By the way, do you have the so called SteelSeries Engine keyboard?

Do you have its installer? Want to tr on 2013 GT series since keyboard configuration of GT is same.

If you want to boost performance of GX60, I suggest you go for dual 1866mhz ram as natively A10-5750M can support. However, there is better option which is new 2014 GE60 featuring GTX860M. The reason is AMD A10-5750M is known of bottlenecking AMD R9 M290X (or 8970M) performance especially in CPU intensive games. Otherwise, it is really a good alternative for gaming laptop.

Weird, I thought Cooler Boost button is manual, which means you open when you think require. Even my GT70 2OC I play NFS: Rivals for 2 hours straight, the fan also not loud. Why suddenly fan become auto turn on cooler boost??

I see, I try first during night to observe change in power plan. By right it should not auto increase fan speed,if not, what the purpose of having CoolerBoost manual?

Also, you can check your fan speed via MSI Dragon Gaming Center, you will notice that the fan from ordinary 1000~2000 rpm increase to 4000+ rpm once CoolerBoost turn on!!

Unless you play in air-con room, if not, GS70 quite warm on surface when you are heavy gaming especially warm during hot weather.

To be available soon, I think, mostly here is preorder, may be next week PCFair at KLCC they will have stock.
