-->*OFFICIAL: MSI GT725 Owner's Lounge*<--

What is the wattage on the power adapter, out of courisoty?

 

I'd say take it out on the laptop, but it sounds like you might be returning it

 

You guys need to remember that the specifications for MSI notebooks will differ by region. For example, UK's GX620 comes with the P8400 instead of the P8600/9500 like the US, but their GT735 comes with a 1920x1200 screen opposed to the US model's 1680x1050 screen.

It appears you may have bought the laptop exactly as advertised, but the seller may have used the wrong specification from the US site.

 

Regardless, he is still entitled to a refund or some sort of discount. It clearly states on the microanvika site 1920x1200

 

exactly .

 

You're absolutely right. Since the GT725 is not even listed on MSI's UK site, the seller goofed up and I say it is the seller's responsibility to offer him some sort of compensation. Go after the seller, not MSI.

 

know how u feel dude. not really wanting it now. would still rahter wait for a 1920 model.

just check anvika.com, it does say 1920 reso. im bringing this up tomorrow. wnna meet up? might add more weight to the claim =D

 

guys i m going to make some tea hopefully that will make me feel better after that i ll post all the answers

 

I'll add some rep to the tea. Hope it eases the pain.

 

Sorry about the screen buddy. Well on the bright side, at least you're not stuck with a 1440x900 screen like some of the recent P-7805u owners. I say if the seller can give you some money back, use it to get a screen on eBay and switch it out yourself. Now which laptop has the best 17" screen?

 

This makes the $999 xps 16 LEDRGB much harder to avoid, even with the heat issues

 

would definitely take it up with micro anvika, im so close to buying one myself, my acer ferrari 3200 is reaching its end..

 

*High 5 to my aging Ferrari partner!*

 

lol yeah, still going after 4-5yrs surprisingly but not without its problems

 

here is my first post from gt725

still making tea thx for ur kind words guy and rep thank

i am about to download benchmark06 any rec for site ? where to get it ?

 

yeah... can't believe I paid $2,800 for my Ferrari 4005WLMI just 4 years ago.

 

Sweet. First GT725 forum post!

 

tell me about it, dont even want to think about it, why im being more cautious before buying this laptop..

 

Really. I only spent $1,100 shipped for the 5005wlmi

but sold it because it was bigger(dimensionally) than the 4005wlmi dumb Acer dumb.

 

3dmark06 you can download here:
http://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/3dmark06/download/

Vantage you can download here:
http://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/3dmarkvantage/download/

 

safe to say we both fell for the acer ferrari big time lol

 

Still love my 4005

No problems at all !

little warm on tha ballz though

 

ok tea is here lets answes those questions

its look nice at 1680 x 1050 my opnion

cost £1125

its input 100-220 output 16v i hope thats wht u asking

i will call msi direct first to check with them what the real spec are then will call microanvika i have to go bristol so would nr be able to come. i might just return it there is not much to it.

anymore question plz feel free to post i will do my best to answer all.

downloading beanchmark06 vantge

 

same with me really, but yeah need to move on just because im fed up of the cold boot issue where when i turn it on when its cold, the blue screen of death will come happen, summer not a problem, weird eh? and lastly having to restore everything, every now and then because it has a big hiccup..

 

Nah.. Should be either a 90 or 120 watt adapter... I would assume.

 

now that we all know the UK version has 1680 reso, i hav got a new question for you guys:

Should I go ahead with it or cancel? Would I notice the diff between 1680 and 1920? Whats the point of blu ray if i dont have full HD?

 

On one hand, you will never need to buy a bluray player if you have a 1080p TV, since you can just hook up your laptop. Plus 1680x1050 isn't low res by a long shot. Sure, its not 1920x1200, but its still decent in my mind (granted, my laptop's max resolution is 1024x768)

 

well that what it says on it dont forget its a uk model

it can work on 100v to 220v depending on the country
thats power coming from power socket

output is 16v it also say next to it 85v

 

What is the point of BR on a 17" anyways... I will be using the rez for CAD.

 

1680x1050 is a good enough resolution, I dont see any reason for you to be pissed off about it.

 

Some PS's don't specify the watts unfortunatelly. It should say, on the output: 16v ??a(amps) ??watts

 

i too think 1680x1050 is good, im running 1400x1050 on my current laptop and having seen and used my bro's computer which runs 1680x1050 i find it looks fine with a lot of space for whatever you want displayed on his 22" LG HD LCD...

 

not sure than but i think v mean watts

 

might feel better if they gave a discount for false advertising. What do you think, faisal? you gonna return or keep?

 

i try uploading unbxing video twice on youtube not working keeo saying unexpected error i m going upload to tinypic lets see.

its denpend on msi answer if they say thats what u gonna get in uk than fair enough but if they say sory that an error than i ll retun it alos depen how microanvika deal with this tomorrow if they offer discount i might keep it other wise its going back

 

nope... if it is "brickish" it is most likely a 120watt

 

i would agree on that, especially as you were expecting it to have it and that it does state on their site...

 

thanks for the comment, guys. i am inching towards collecting it tomorrow haha

 

Hey faisal, how loud is the GT725 in the different modes (turbo, eco, idle)?

In Germany the GT725 is also sold with the 1680x1050 resolution It will be available next week for 1299,- EUR (silly MSI support told me it would be available in *july*)

EDIT: is it DDR2 or DDR3 Ram?

 

and im still deciding whether or not to..

 

lol lets face it. this laptop still is a good buy for that price £125 discount off the price will bring it down to £1000 fair price i would say

 

its very very quite now that u mention it i m surprised how quite it is i have nt used turbo yet i waiting for benchmark to finish installing and after that i will do turbo mode

 

HEy, also, can you download hwmonitor and GPU-Z? HWmonitor monitor component temperatures and GPU-Z gives you information regarding your GPU (i.e. Core speed, memory speed, bandwidth, etc). Both are very small files and can be accessed here:

HWmonitor (32 bit and 64 bit version, depending on your OS):

GPU-Z:

true but this is the first laptop out with the ATI 4850, tomorrow who knows which company (my bets on ASUS) will bring out a laptop to nearly the same spec for a cheaper price...

but with the first scores and benchmarks mainly being 3D mark 06 being 9800 as the highest so far.. means it beats the offerings that sell the Nvidia 9800 gts for £1200+..

 

for the price and dims MSI wins hands down...ATM

 

Not really. In the ASUS forum there's an overclock the 9800M GS thread, and as of this morning a guy got 9703 in 3DMark06 @ GTS clock speeds...

Anyways, is 1920x1200 really that big of a deal to you? I'm stuck going with the lower one if I end up option for this as the higher end US model is out of my price budgeted for a new nb. Even going to the 627 would only get me BR DVD on the high end model but same screen res, and I don't care ta all about BR...

 

sure i will do running benchmark vantage in turbo mode still very quite

 

forgot about that laptop, but then again that asus laptop isnt available in the UK yet, dont know if it even will be to be honest..

and 1920x1200 personally i think is too much unless you really need to it and will use it..
