@Unseen: No, he gets mad because I tell that story too often lolololol. Look at Boletaria.

Well, I'm not saying what MSI is doing is entirely GOOD for US, the 10% of laptop users who actually know what's going on inside their laptops. What I'm saying is simply that what they're doing makes good sense, for THEM and for 90% of the people out there who just want to play games, don't really give an eff about what's inside (besides it being the LATEST AND FASTEST) and replace their laptops on a regular basis.

*ehem*gamers*ehem*.

I mean, I'll be the first to feel good the moment MSI decides it's a good thing to supply their laptops with better PSUs, but I really don't think they're going to do anything about it. They don't really believe in "appeasing the masses" with small details like that, because their target market simply isn't the 10% of us who care.

MSI's game is more "cheaper for even more stuff compared to the competition" after all - for now anyway. Unfortunately, the "shortcuts" taken to get there might only be visible to us "enthusiasts", and the "GAMERZ" crowd that MSI is trying hard to attract, has no idea.

Do you really think P34G worth the money? it's just slightly cheaper than the P35K (which P35K just about RM150 cheaper than the GS70)

Looks like 2014 laptops will be featured with slim profile + 3K~4K screen. Finally, laptop trend become what happen in smartphone trend (slimmer)....

You also forgot to mention wider screen, and notebook manufacturers these days are producing more and more 17" slim gaming notebooks( and the 14" of course). Where are the 15" form factors? 

ODD is not that important anymore compared to other parts bcs an external dvdrom can be purchased around RM100~200. Therefore, remove an ODD bay but save a lot of space for other improvements. I personally think this is a good point (if they can free external DVDrom...)

Slimmer profile defenitely cant avoid throttle issue

If using ULV processor, it will be meaningless when come to MMO games...

You mean you prefer laptop comes with ODD then unscrew it, swap with SSD?

In that case, look for AMD Kaveri, haha.

Hmm, I am thinking if someone purchase slimmer laptop with 4700HQ, why not setting max cpu usage at 80~90% or so in Power Option? Bcs in gaming, users dont require that much of power...unless everything in high/ultra settings...
I know less in SSD but instead of using for caching, I prefer to use it being accessible storage like what you said. Not sure Western Digital Black 2 how it works.....

pmed him dy.. erm, u know where can i see the catalog on9?

1. how the screen color? i nvr use a matte screen before...
2. the bag u mention? is it the backpack?
3. how the sound quality?
4. does it have any issue?

now most GE60-20C, 20D are free upgrade to I7 4800 already

It's always the volume of air that can go through the chassis (space for airflow) that matters more vs the speed at which it is circulated (no. of fans).

just wondering whats the different between the kelper 860m and maxwell 860m

GS60

It's ok. I've figured it out.

The mSATA modules is on the upper side of the PCB board, so you'll need to remove the entire board to change the mSATA.

Secondly, it does not use the standard mSATA connector. Instead, it uses the M6e connector, the same ones used on Macs.

C-Zone is selling the Plextor M6e.

Down side is, it's much more expensive compared to the Plextor M5M mSATA.

66% more for the 128GB Variant
48% more for the 256GB Variant

On the plus side, the read and write is also much faster.. but not sure how accurate is the information on their price list.

Edit:
I did additional further reading.

The connector format is known as the "M.2".
Further Edit:
Looks like the speed boost is correct and confirmed. It's due to the increased in bandwidth from moving to the M.2 interface over SATA 3.
