How do you find it? Is it possible to add an SSD into it? and how much did you get it for?

Interested in getting a GE62 before flying over to the UK, but it's Im really confused as to what specs are available at what price.

I'd get the 960/965m ones depending on price diff, but I would rather downgrade the graphic card and get an SSD installed instead, but will installing an SSD void international warranty?

From MSI post above you.
If u upgade SSD at authorized dealer, it wont void the warranty.

How do I check if a certain dealer from LYN is authorized? I've read some post in the LYN dispute corners that even some of those big stores (don't wanna say name) can con people when it comes to warranty information and about them being authorized dealers.

If you got a catalog from MSI, behind there is a list of authorized dealer from MSI.

YEah just checked. So if their store not in the list e.g. Alieneye, they can't be trusted?

Better not trust. I was dealing with non authorized before. Give me headache. I would really recommend going to the guys in the list.

What kinda headache? Yeah I PMed msi, because this user said that they're an authorized distributor but it wasn't on the catalogue.

The LYN prices are slightly cheaper especially post-GST. GH sells MSI stuff ffor really expensive

Gamers Hideout offering GE62 for 5099 with 128GB SSD. Worth it?

I found a shop in LYN selling for 4620 without the SSD, but not listed under authorized resller.

I think that one is business grade SSD ? I don't think SSD will be cheaper soon, especially GST had already arrived. haha

It doesnt matter boys. Coming from 5200RPM to SSD already feels like I'm moving from a bicycle to a ferrari haha.

Quite impressed by how sturdy the design is, but IDK which bloatware to remove and what not ):



BTW I can't seem to be able to change my backlight, steel series engine says that that my GE62 isn't connected... although I'm typing with it right now

I experienced the exact same thing with my GE72. Fixed the problem after updating SSE3 from SS website.

Thanks it worked!

BTW, my charger is actually charging my battery to 100% instead of 92%, is this something I should be worrying about?

It matters boy. If it is business grade SSD, it won't affect the price of consumer grade SSD. Those are two different categories I believe.
Business grade will cost more than consumer grade. So if there are 10tb of it, it will still cost quite a lot. Not to mention convention user will most likely not be buying it.

Haha I was talking about how a consumer grade SSD was good enough for me!

Thnaks.

BTW guys, my MSI GE62 (about to sell it) hits 87C after 25 minutes in the furmark test. Is the laptop considered faulty a this point? Ambient temperature around 25 degrees.

Still under warranty so I wanna let the new buyer know about potential issues.


No performance issues though, keyboard can get a little warm
