Some Of My Relatives Told Me That This Laptops Soldering Are Very Bad Is That TRUE?

GUYS Please Tell Me

This thread is dead (no posts in about 4 months). You should start your own thread on these questions.

Generally MSI laptops have pretty good build quality. You'll have a hard time finding someone who's actually looked inside to check the quality of the soldering. I'd recommend you instead just look up some detailed reviews. Feel free to link me to your new thread.

Hi Guys.. I Am Planning To Buy This Laptop GT70 Dragon Edition 2.. Is This Laptop Is Good For Music Production And Using 3DS Max And MAYA......

To be honest, I think this laptop is a lot of bling for a lot of money without a lot of extra functionality. For example, the i7-4930MX is functionally 25% faster than the i7-4700MQ. But it costs 3 times as much. If you can find an i7-4800MQ (seems to run $245 more than the 4700MQ), it'll get to 90% of the MX's speed for half the price.

Most music production will run through the CPU, but a thorough answer to your question depends on what music software you run and whether it's optimized for particular NVidia or AMD hardware.

Additionally, the dual SSDs in RAID 0 won't be noticeably faster than a single SSD unless you run benchmarks. But you may lose TRIM support (depending on your bios), it'll cost a lot more, and your data is at greater risk of being lost. I'm personally not a fan of RAID now that single SSDs are so fast and more recommend incremental backups (rather than the redundancy types of RAID).

Maya: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-780M.88993.0.html
Search for "maya" and then click "show comparison chart". You'll see that plenty of business graphics cards get better performance. You'll notice that HD 4600 integrated graphics seem to be well optimized for Maya, indicating that you may not even need a discreet graphics card.

I haven't found 3DS Max benchmarks, but I haven't looked very hard.
