I'm using one, I don't know what is your definition as good, but I have no problem with it as a budget gaming laptop.

Yup i upgraded the SSD and some RAM, heat problem wise also no problem. Well if you have higher budget go for GE Raider series, the heat exhaust is superb for that one

It is good for a mid range laptop, screen wise you can go for 120hz. It's actually running a good TN panel. But if you have higher budget definitely go for GE63/73 Raider, i personally tested it out in my review and it is definitely astonishing performance.

Saw this on MSI page, gold logo....new model?

Yes,I can mostly confirm is a new GS series with it's compact size. Yesterday my friend who working at a tech media in Malaysia share me this, and he said it is ok for me to share it out too, but I have no other details regarding this model.

Is it possible that this will be the new MSI Coffee Lake laptop? and the monitor look much better from previous models, maybe a 144hz?, what do you think?

Oh..already released ? hmm, i guess i'll wait just wait for the official release, since there is a sneak peak now i guess it will release very soon.

but yea, i do agree the design is very nice

yea, im curious too, waiting more review be publish :3

From the look of it, it looks like it got hooked by something. well fragile or not, technology stuff are quite fragile imo

Technology stuff are fragile anyway because of user 's demand. Even the most expensive laptop also fragile. But this case may subject to many reason, or just, unlucky like you said =w=

just wish to know, did you unscrew it yourself ?

i agree on medicare performance and bit flimsy chassis with it's price, and i personally did few review myself. But laptop's casing (Aluminium / plastic) quality wont vary too much, and looking at that person's picture his crack start from the screw, maybe he / shop keeper didn't screw / unscrew properly and cause it to happen.

yea, just asking did you open the cover on your own, or the shop/service center guy open it for you.

Yo, I did a little review for this model for Raider 7th Gen and have been using it since. First of all, do you really need a 8th Gen processor for your work? If no, better stick with 7th Gen where it's cheaper (current price).
If you only wanted to game, 7th gen more than enough. Although the new 8th Gen GE Raider have some more cool stuff in it.

You did mention want to have a slim profile, well if your budget allow, you can go for GS65. It's quite a good laptop from my buddies. I not yet able to do a review on it, waiting to get one for my office use then i will write a review for it.

I can sure with that too, i asked the shop and there's a post by MSI saying they have new stock coming and available pre-order too. I remember yesterday they have the stock.

No, do not upgrade the RAM on your own, go to the authorize dealer / service center and get the RAM + upgrade there. i did the same mistake before =w=

You can do it at the authorized dealer too, maybe if you purchase the RAM with them they give you free installation. =w=

well every dealer have their benefit and stuff, do check with them

Actually, while you gaming, temperature at 65-85 (not until 90) is consider relatively normal. still depending on the setting of the graphic of your game and such. But as far as i know about MSI, where i also tested them on my little review of the MSI laptop i bought, never have overheating issue (where it reaches 90 and above).

Well, hard disc do have some heat. but just better send in to have them check.

What is the purpose of the laptop ? if only for work and slight gaming, PS42 not a bad choice, it's friggin light

I checked that GF62 7RD only come with 1 slot SSD
