Atm is only Acer v15 nitro and asus g551jm. Theres also a model with tn panel GL551jm, so if u are looking for it you might wanna check it out first before buying.

For new gpus like next years 960m or 965m the laptop surely priced above 4k... Just like when i bought my ge60 with 860m.

And just to add: since new maxwell 960m is coming out next year, might as well wait bro. Worth it.

Nice graph
Looks about right, nvidia 3rd level gpu normally 50% from the flagship gpu.
Now u made me feel that i shudnt have jump into 860m. Bought my lappy becoz of the 860m maxwell anyway...lolz.
Anybody wanna buy my 6month old ge60 apache pro with 256gb msata ssd inside? Mayb not cuz of the heat xD

Maxwell for nvidia gpus, broadwell is intel cpu bro.

Actually wasnt serious about the sellinng of my laptop la haha. Just the envy self talking lol. Yeah i need the mobility. Bring the lappy for work, then bring back to put on my "gaming paddock" after work. I basically unplug my kb, mouse, audio jacks and the ac and just grab the laptop to work. I also dont game on max or play every new titles and genres. Not a serious gamer. If want i would grab a desktop pc already haha.

Yeah all msi uses a barebone design including GE60. Not suprising at all. Except for gt72 and the gs60/70 which is specially designed. I found this link http://www.msiwhitebook.com

Y50 suffers from poor heat management and poor tn FHD displays. They have a version with IPS display but it is 3k display which is pointless when you are running only 860m gpu.

V15 is better in thermal with sweet LG ips fhd display. Sumore good built, lightweight and cheap. Good speakers too.

New model v15 nitro with 4k screen. Also with some update: 16gb ram, 4gb 860m, 2tb hdd + 256ssd, 4k ips Sharp display. This is probably the new top line v15.

I saw some leaked designs of GE62/72, and the name comanche/comanche pro (like all GE series, named after combat helicopters) and my god the designs is beautiful. With twin fans (finally haha), gtx965m or 970m, fhd display or 3k display options. Hmmm delicious. And the case have some hints from gs line laptops. Drools...

Here is the link. But sorry its in polish but you can see the specs.

All lappy bought this year can last for another at least 2years bro.
Yeah msi designs are quite nice, thats the reason i went for my ge60. And now they are moving to use twin fans, starting from gt72. We'll see how well it does soon

Not only mid range laptop, high end like gs line and gt line also have overheating issues. But i did some reading and i found ot that their laptops improves internally on year to year basis, exterior designs on 2 year basis. I saw the ge60 2012 and its VERY ugly, and cpu gpu heats up to 95 degress ++
Whereas expensive and pointless alienware gets nowhere with their designs. Asus makes not much improvements internally and externally but they create alot of varieties in their gaming ROG line. Lenovo and acer are newcomers in gaming laptops.

Haha yes GT line also have heat issues and the fan extremely noisy despite bulky body. But this is using kepler gpu not maxwell. All maxwell mobile gpus ie: 970m and 980m do well in temp. So in future its fairplay to all manufacturers. All have to compete in price, looks, quietness, etc.
Cant wait for 965m/960m. Gonna see how the brands compete with each other and this might bring the price down xD

Yeah bro. Qe line doesnt heat much. Went to a shop at penang test out bcoz curious xD
Also, i see tons of lenovo y50. Price dropped to RM3499. Still more expensive that Acer v15. Haha. Asus g551jm at RM3599. V15 still best bang for buck.

Yeah for those who looking for new laptops better wait 1-2months... But still not bad if you choose a laptop with 860m cuz the increment in performance is only 15-20%.

You are right. 15' display size lappy best compromise for mobility + gaming in fhd. If 17' better have 3k or 4k displays but 970m/980m still have trouble rendering it at ultra settings. Plus the laptops with 3k/4k display normally priced at Rm6k and above. I rather spend of a desktop gaming rig....

True. But the earlier post was regarding to 860m vs 965m laptop pricing. Its about 1k+ in comparison to v15 with 860m. If the user is keen to spend 4k+ for new tech of coz its worth it. And btw its not really that significantly faster...only comparable with 870m. Gtx965m 66fps vs gtx860m 50fps. 860m is still quite snappy considering laptops with this gpu cost lest than 4k. Good for the budget and for light-medium gamers.

P/s: sometimes % dont show the whole picture. Actually fps is much more accurate.

Yep if u say future proof then definitely go for 965m.
Was looking around and i saw desktop 960, 960ti and 965ti coming out end of this month. The 965ti is equivalent to 780 and should be priced at rm1200. Now this makes me wanna build a gaming desktop!

Not to mention one of the cool gaming designs out there
And oh it has cooler booster 3 aka twin fans, the same one as on the gt72.
One thing i like about msi is their designs doesnt look boring...apart from the gt60/70 cuz that just look like an ugly tank. LOL

Thats gt80 bro.
Just saying that gt60/gt70 is based on barebones case. Laptop designs isnt comparable to 2 years ago. IMO only laptops lately are good looking haha.

Just to add: for those who are looking light weight laptops with good gaming performance under Rm5k, the 965m is a good choice. But you might wanna wait 2months abit and wait the product to mature and purchase based on reviews.

I bought my ge60 after a month it was launched and i was suckered to think that the cooler booster could keep the laptop cool under heavy gaming but i was wrong.

Of coz from what i see gaming laptops launching now are stylish and worth ur money but you might wanna wait abit. Gst still long mah

Furthermore desktop budget based 960, 965 and 965ti is launching end of this month. You could get a serious gaming cpu under 5k. Personally aiming for that hehe.
