Not bad but man shoving those components into such a small space means bad cooling that will lead to burnout. Had a Gateway FX laptop comein, replaced every part but the mobo and as it turned out the mobo overheated.

Battery life? I doubt it's mobile or a 2 hour battery life, but then again I could be wrong.

I have a gaming laptop from MSI and i love it. It's held up well over the past year or so, and it held me over quite nicely untill i could build myself a better Desktop PC. I had a 9 cell and the battery lasts about 3 hours, depending on what i'm doing.

Wait wait wait, did they finally re-design their case so that it's not a flimsy POS dispelling heat out onto your mousing hand? If they did... hell yeah! On MSI's site I saw a screen showing the lower corner going Ctrl, Fn, "windows key", from left to right... fixing a layout problem that FPS gamers have complained about for a long time with MSI laptops.

This is a great step forward for MSI if my initial impressions are correct. It looks nice.

Course... the 285M and Core i7-740QM configuration, is probably not something I'd go for. I just don't like the idea Nvidia graphics load temps literally cooking everything in my expensive laptop... and the i7-740QM's price to performance ratio is terrible.

I just wish MSI would stop naming their notebooks like future gen nVidia GPUs... It gets me every time... hehe

This looks a lot like the Asus G51 series laptops lol

Hope it cools better

720 display???

ghey!!!!

 

[fyasko]

perfect for those cold winter nights. "it's hotter than a fat girl sittin' on your lap." - me

720p display is extremely disappointing for a laptop this spec. Expected at least a 1080p.

 

[dEAne]

wow but the display wasn't right thought 720p only.

atleast? well it cant go too much higher! tbh, the pixel pitch of this being a 16incher at 720p should be pretty nice. Most people wouldnt be able to tell the difference between this and 1080p on a small screen, but it puts a much larger load on the bpu. Good move from a gaming stand point, bad on a spec sheet.

 

[blasterth]

But my 2 year old laptop 13,1 display is "900p". I prefer to choose the load on the bpu myself by selecting 720p or 1080p in the game options and not to have it imposed.

What? The Cooling solution on that laptop is genius for what it does with one fan.

 

[danwat1234]

Sigh... not a dx 11 card

 

[hardcore_gamer]

720p ? kinda like insulting core 17 and gtx 285m

 

[victomofreality]

I'd still say the g73jh beats this thing hands down.

 

[HTDuro]

the GX740 and the G73 is cheaper ... with better hardware .... no way that i buy this to replace my G50VT

 

[johnnyupgrade]

I've always been impressed with MSI's gaming series notebooks.

 

[tharkis842]

Is it really safe to have a sub in a laptop? I can't imagine much vibration/shock damage can be good for components.

The webcam is 720p, the screen is either 1366*768 or 1920*1080, two models.
