That MSI GX60 might suffer from CPU bottleneck while gaming.. best to avoid, especially when more and more games are optimized for CPU now nod.gif
How about this one?

You are most welcomed!
Rest assured, Illegear's after sales services are quite reputable one, and repairs are done locally and very efficiently  icon_rolleyes.gif

I get what you mean man, but try not to be a typical Malaysian consumer who only look at price and specs haha laugh.gif
Although a bit more expensive, you get better cooling (based on previous records of the RE series) and after sales service with Illegear.
On the other hand, we have not heard much about the quality of MSI's warranty support, but its definitely not as fast as Illegear, so its up to you on whether you want to risk that bit for a cheaper price? hmm.gif Time is money for most people, how long can you tahan without a laptop when its sent into SC? laugh.gif

Of course, if nothing happens to either notebooks for 2-3 years, then there's not much difference la haha, the only problem is that we can never know how long a notebook will last; that's electronics for you icon_rolleyes.gif

Yeah,i trying not to be typical lol tongue.gif
Notebook cooling is not an issue for me since i usually do laptop maintainance almost every week myself.from what ive read,msi stock thermal paste is horrible(correct me if im wrong)n will be using a different one.im looking at msi because of the warranty,1 year international warranty is pretty good considering i might be going overseas early next year.so now im kinda leaning towards that msi.thanks again smile.gif
Update: i just dis some researching and ur right.that msi is worse in cooling and some user returns it after one month.so now im considering the illegear re 15.thanks again for ur help.
