Review MSI GT780DX-i71691BLW7H Notebook

 

Gaming powerhouse. MSI sends another gaming notebook into the rac

Matt display; Full HD resolution; High brightness and good contrast; Strong system performance; Illuminated keyboard; Sufficiently cool; Good 2.1 sound system

High noise; No FireWire port or ExpressCard slot

That MSI uses a really high-end screen in the GT780DX. Exemplary.

My expirience

 

purchased in 9/12 for 899$. I was alternating between this laptop and my desktop. Its the answer to the performance and portability that i needed. Gfx card performed like my stock gtx 260 of old with the exception of it being on a lappy. I did need to...

Good price at time ; gtx570m ; Fast ; Plays most game at decent settings ; Love the screen ; Love the Keyboard

hinge broke once, and i baby the laptop

Solid laptop, few issues though

 

I clean the surfaces regularly with soft cloth wipes like for phones. Because of that, the laptop still looks brand new after months of use. Only insignificant gripe there is how particles get trapped in the seams. With the right configurations for...

LCD is perfect, keyboard and touchpad are perfect. Bright vibrant image. Fast big laptop. It's more of a conveniently portable computer than a laptop though. It has a graphics-boost button which I still haven't had the need for! Runs Tomb Raider 2013,...

1. Getting the audio drivers tweaked to work properly is impossible, and I still haven't figured it out and am left with a barely noticeable tinny sound when the volume peaks on movies, this happens with both the laptop speakers AND my HDMI TV speakers...

Amazing Laptop

 

Amazingly fast, has a great gaming grade build and specs. I didn't have to spend much time tweaking it and yet the best thing is the single touch overclocking

Very large and very heavy, the power supply alone is huge so it makes it a little akward to carry around in normal laptop bags

Great Laptop

 

It was an excellent value. I got it end of life when it was discontinued and got a great deal on Newegg. I use this laptop everyday. and while it does not completely replace my desktop for gaming, it does an excellent job.

very Fast ; Runs almost all games with more than acceptable settings and framerates ; Runs pretty cool for how powerful it is

Large so not super protable

Most power for lowest price

 

I've heard that having 12GB of ram isn't great since having an odd number of sticks means it's not taken advantage of dual channel speed. I have no idea if this is true but heard you can fix this by removing or adding a stick. I heard this may void the...

It's really inexpensive and has the highest power per dollar I was able to find by far (as of 9/2012). Can run pretty much any game at the very high settings that I've tried so far (when plugged in and set to high performance mode) ; I hooked up some...

Not sure if this is actually a problem but the battery will pretty often indicate that it's "plugged in but not charging" sometimes but only when the laptop is at 90% charge or greater. I ran MSI's built in battery calibration tool (very good program...

HUGE! BRIGHT! Great keyboard response

It is a little bit on the loud side due to the fan powering up this beast

Good

 

I have the gtx 570m overclocked past the gtx 670m card. I can play Skyrim on max, with around 60+ mods including the high res textures while being outside i get around 30-60 frames and inside i get 55-60 frames. Dead Space 2 I get 50-60 frames at all...

Very nice,bright,clear screen, can play any game i throw at it on max 30 fps-60 besides metro 2033 on max,speakers are nice, nice setup, feels pretty solid, not flimsy, overall good computer, the backlight keyboard feature is nice but youre able to see...

the touch buttons at the top of the keyboard are nice but sometimes take a couple presses to turn on, sometimes the keys dont hit right and you have to make sure you fully press them down or youll be missing a lot of letters when you type, every once...

Whats with these generic mfr responses

 

Please someone from Dell\Alienware or Asus wake me from this dreaded nightmare. I just want what I paid my hard earn money for nothing more nothing less. Geez and please please if your gone respond to this MSI a little persoanlized attention would be...

That you care I guess idk

So msi you only response with a automatic generic message to people who rate your product a certain rating I'm assuming. I noticed you send the same message to everyone. We'll guess what buddy how are we gone send you our serial number if we don't have...
