Thanks

lol he hasnt posted back he's probably at home messing around with it now and has forgot about all of us

 

AAAH! The suspense is killing me... On a side note, anyone know whether MSI will sell these in Canada, or am I going to have to consider shipping them in from the US?

 

lol suspense is killing me!

 

You might want to get in touch with a reseller to find out (like I'm doing with Computer Avenue).

 

Well, I emailed some of the resellers on the MSI site that sell MSI G-series (most of the places had like 20 versions of the Wind and that's it). Any luck with Computer Avenue, out of curiosity?

 

lol i have nt forgot about anybody its freaking 1 hour and a half train journey.

just got back home and guess what i got company give me a few min to breath and tell me guys what u want a you tube un boxing? A full written review(with lots of spelling and grammar errors) ?

 

I want it all. I want it all. I want it all. AND I WANT IT NOW!!!! (beooowbedododododdoododo) But seriously, unboxing would be hawt.

 

OMG I look up this notebook every day, like 10 times a day to see if someone has gotten one yet... yay!

Ok which one is it? the 2.4ghz , or the 2.53?
what screen did you get? the 1680x1050 , or the 1900x1200

Oh man I cant wait to see how this puppy benchmarks... my money's on the 4850 > 9800m gtx!!! Go ATI!

 

Both would be great thanks in advance once i get my Aus W90 ill do the same for you guys

 

Unless it's the freakin' Pope and even then I would think he would understand, ignore them and get to the notebook reviewing.

I would concur with RD, both please.

 

haha i didnt go get it today, had a dinner so im getting it tomorrow.

at least you culd take a pic of the spec sheet! hahah

 

ok i am uploading the unboxing video on you tube now and then i will do a written review aswell no worries

 

i told you i will beat you to it . they sold 5 of these while i was in the shop getting mine they reserved one for you lol.

 

Where's the pics & vids allready it shouldn't take that long to boot it up!!! :-D

 

a guy said on the other forum that he has 1680 X 1050!

Please say it isnt true faisal please!!!!!!

 

yes i seen that i am not sure i am confuse i m waitng for it to load hang tight

 

man, if thats true, im not sure if im going through with my purchase. its false advertising!

 

if you have Crysis, could you play it at High-Very High DX10 settings or CCC lvl 5?

 

drool..............................

 

Faisalhero, try using tinypic or imageshack to host your images, it's loading very slowly as an attachment.

 

i will get the crysis tomorow ok guy what s the best way to check the Resolution its still booting up

 

just a question, the sliver net plate thingy the turbo touch buttons are on...are those heat vents?

 

Count pixel by pixel I would figure just wait for it to finish booting up, and then once its all loaded see how high you can set the resolution in the display options

EDIT: And I think those net things are two of the speakers, terminus

 

still booting omg. hope this is just a windows vista startup deal!

 

I thought the resolution was supposed to be 1680x1050 on the higher end model and 1280x800 on the lower model?

 

no..............................

 

1080p on blueray model, 1680x1050 on normal model...at least in the US, I can't wait to see the benchmarks!

still booting

 

I'm curious now. I couldn't seem to find anything about the UK models (found lots on -074US and -075US though). Anyone willing to inform?

 

for such a powerful laptop, I'm surprised it only has two small heat vents.

 

Thank you sir. It looks like the carbon fiber palm rest is only exclusive for the CES 2009 display model after all. Otherwise, it looks like the same casing as the GX720.

 

I see spray paint in my near future! Thanks 4 the pics

 

yes i thought same no carbon fiber. i m uploading unboxing video. yes its vista loading that s why taking long nealry there

 

Wrong laptop. That is the GT627. It's 15.4", P8400 or P8600 methinks and a 9800GS. GT725 comes with P8600 or P9500(?), ATI 4850 HD and is 17"

 

sorry guys bad news 1680 x 1050 fu*k

 

le sigh....

 

no word on the 1680 yet faisal? sorry to bother you guys or flood this thread but come on! 1680? i dint want a Qosmio because of its crap reso!

Edit: Sorry i dint see the above posts!

Edit: #*&$&@&$&#&@!&#*%#@#*%!#$*%!*%#*%(@(%#(@($#(@#!*@$&!@&$!@#

 

hElL, that sux, still nice lappy though.

 

Did you get the 074US or 075US model?

 

he got a UK model

 

Oh. That's no good. MSIMobile.com's website is for US/Canada models only, let's see if I can find their UK website.

 

its a uk one 087uk i been put off now its front of me but dont feel like touching it anymore totally killed the mode. i need a moment to recover

u would nt be able to find it there check microanvika.co.uk

 

I have a question, lets say you play a game at 1280x800 res native, but does it look better on a 1080p screen or 1680 x 1050 screen?

btw, how much did the UK one cost?
