I got impatient and ended up covering the entire display frame in CF vinyl as well. Nothing fancy, just another half-hour rough hack job. Thankfully it looks half-decent (if not a tad tacky), and at least I'm now completely free from them shiny plastic bits.

Total cost (Palmrest + keyboard sides + display frame): RM50 + about an hour's work cutting and pasting. Quite reasonable considering I have A LOT of CF skin left over.

Lol. I still consider that an "experiment". It's really not good enough for me to do it with other people's stuff for sure. I'm not confident I won't scratch/break anything/screw up.

Try and DIY lor, much more satisfying. Will take time though.

I got a question about the warranty page

It looks like below after I register, it is not stated when the warranty ends

I want to get GX70 at first, but since the specs is the same but the screen is bigger and have to fork extra Rm400 for it, I just settled with GX60 laugh.gif

I got to give the salesperson a big thanks, he patiently explained to me why I should go for GX60 instead of GE60 eventhough GE60 was cheaper.

Hopefully there is nothing wrong with my GX60 any time soon sweat.gif The reason I'm buying this is to play BF4 and Titanfall

Hey welcome! Nice purchase there. Do let us know how's the performance when you game on it.

----------------

By the way I'm back! After days of troubleshooting very random problems from OS to driver issues to drive corruptions. Moral of the story... when MSI says use DDR3L 1.35V modules for Haswell... follow tongue.gif LOL!!!

So I pulled out all the offending DIMMs and restore from my backup image. Lucky I made an exact image copy after I set up the laptop the way I wanted.

On the bright side of things, the performance is fantastic. A big jump from my previous laptop with GTX 660M. World of Tanks is showing 50-70fps at max settings, even when there's a lot of players on the field. Good stuff!

Not gonna argue there. I've been okay so far (zero issues) but yeah, unstable RAM can botch up a LOT of things. I know I argued that 1.5 is usable, BUT that is only if you get LUCKY. There is no guarantee that any 1.5/1.65v stick will work with Haswell, and Russian Roulette isn't good for your laptop.

So guys, unless you don't have a choice (I wanted to play the "authorised dealer RAM addon" card when I bought my GE40 and they didn't have any LoVo), stick with LoVo (DDR3L/1.35v).

New owners: Storm88 has shit loads of LoVo and he's an authorised dealer (AFAIK), so you all know what to do.

On another note, I'm ABSOLUTELY tempted to pledge for Star Citizen now (being a StrikeCom, Freelancer, Starlancer, WingCom and Privateer fanboi that I am) but the TOTAL lack of playable content so far has stopped me so far.

I wonder if I can wait until some form of betas come out before I pledge.

Damn, between SC, BF4, Rainbow6 and Titanfall; I'm gonna be shit broke next year. That's not even with all the other AAA games taken into consideration.
