Judging from gt60 line with 970m, i'd say the ge62 with 970m would be around 5k, since 965m version is priced at rm4299. Probably worth it since u get msi's new case design+twin fans aka cooler booster 3 and 4.1 speakers ;P

Which version? 965m or 970m?

Ahh i didnt see the posted price sorry lol.
In this case better go for 970m notebooks lol. Seriously not worth it with 965m...

Last time asus overpriced their notebbooks, this year is msi turn is it? Macam taking turns to troll consumers lol.

Not a sifu but on my laptop some preinstalled softwares are useless ie; norton antivirus trial, office 365 trial, which i instantly uninstall. Softwares like msi gaming centre, cyberlink powerdvd, steelseries engine i think is useful. So it depends on you. Some people prefer using their own prefered media softwares so it is really up to ur taste bro

Ah no on my ge60 sorry forgot to state it. Its just an example. So ultimately it is up to you. Should not disturb the laptop's operation.

I think theres still a small percentage of gaming laptop lovers out there that gives importance to aesthetics. But majority prefers price vs performance ratio. But if looks is as equally important as performance then whats wrong with asus or msi. Just that msi is hot and asus is bad at customer service...

And with that amount of money i could go for a gaming desktop with dual gpu dy.

Thats why HP is dying. They cant beat aggressive taiwanese brand like asus or msi. Even Acer is smart to make an affordable and decent looking thin laptops.

M.2 or msata ssds are notoriously expensive. Paid my plextor m6m 256gb for RM698. But that was when msatas was just fairly new. I think i got ripped off

But not malaysians xD We want value over money. Not to mention gst mau mari liao. Lagi no more value. 7k u can get a good gaming laptop with higher specs, ie: gs60, thin and powerful but just hot

Or custom laptops like illgear or aftershock.

Ge60. Pro version. Got 2 msata slots, but now 1 filled up. Needed a ssd to run laptop to save batt. My hdd drains batt power like a thirsty dog.

It was expensive cuz other than samsung evo there arent any ssds that produce good read/write speeds. I'd get a samsung but unfortunately tarak msata version when i want to buy last year. Got people offer me transcend but with such poor read/write rates i rather not... If u are using v15 nitro i think it uses m.2 ssd.

Actually not good at ssd, but i look around for reviews. Most brands like samsung, sandisk, crucial or plextor are nearly the same performance. But samsung best bang for buck. Best if u go check out price from shops then search the reviews.

My GE60 has toaster level heat. If i max it and without turning on the cooler booster (max fan speed) cpu cam reach 92, gpu around 90. With the fan max cpu is 89 and gpu 85. Thats my only complaint: hot and noisy. Built quality okay but not excellent. Speakers have high and clear volume, display is samsung pls so viewing angle and contrast very nice.

If only they bother to put better cooling maybe it worth the RM4199 i paid for it. Its the 2nd most expensive 860m laptop. 1st is asus g750jm haha but u paying for good cooling...

Apples and oranges again bro
No m.2 ssd mentioned tho.

Haha. But the review is good, shows samsung ssds are good and if u compare prices they are affordable. Imo m.2 or pcie ssds are overkill, unless ur wallet very thick and u want good benchmarks.

I rather spend on good mobo, cpu and gpu. Standard sata ssd is more than enough.

Any laptops with 860m works decently. So far 3k plus is lenovo y50 (but u get bad display, poor temps), v15 nitro (good allrounder, only 1slot ssd), g551jm (not sure, anyone can review?). These laptops still can run most 2013/14 games at high-ultra, 2015 games maybe medium-high at 1080p.

850m laptops may priced below 3k but i am not sure. Havent bothered about it haha. It is one step lower than 860m, 2 steps lower than 965m. No point.

Aiya do like me lo, play fhd resolution at high setting (not all) and NO aa at all xD
Sometimes if u chase tech everytime ur empty wallet will chase u back

Edit: btw playing watchdog at high settings is possible, with no AA, some enviroment settings at med. fps around 30+ and temps are like mad xD Fried some eggs while testing hahaha. But normally i use all med to control heat

860m not good for any high-end AA, shadows and enviroment settings. Normally i lower down those first, starting from any AA. 860m actually is bottlenecked by the 128-bit bus. I assume if it has 192-bit bus then it will outperform the 770m. This should be similar to 965m with its 128bit or else it will out perform 870m. Thats marketing strategy from the nvidia that we love and hate

You need networking sifus for ur answer. Auto is only i know lol.

Yeah better than mine, mine using Intel Wireless-AC 3160, very slow. 5 meter away from wifi point will become
3 bar. Somemore speed abit unstable.

U all should be happy with ur batt life. Mine 1hr++ watching mp4 movie. Cant even finish a movie. So sad.
