It will take 8GB of memory, just wait for the prices to drop.
-
My reseller is already receiving pre-order but I don't understand, they say it's ddr2 memory and 512mb 4850...
Does anyone knowes what this mean ? -
its the gt725
-
hello guys, seems like i sont have choice of buying the msi gt729(they dont sell the 725 anymore on newegg canada...) so ill get it on xoticpc... but has there been any news about a release date? Cause I'm a little concerned about the date I'd get it(dont want it to be at christmas...-_-) I've research but couldn't find info... and I've been told that msi is good at pushing things... so i hope that if I pre-order it won't take too much time... anyway, thanks for any answer.
(the funny thinkg is that, ironically, it will be 100$ cheaper than buying it in canada, even after shipping + tax)

Everybody says mid-august. No exact dates yet.
-
ok well then that's what i thought, i just hope it won't be delayed... as to it's release in mid-end august... they are late in their annoucnements... it's already august 8th
-

Ordered it as well... Frosty updated on their eBay thingy that ETA is last week of August and the GT 729 max Ram in DDR3 8GB it comes with 4GB though, which is enough right now...
-
Damn, I ordered a GT725 the first week of July and was told that this would be out the first week of August. The dude still has my money and is going to put it to this thing, but I'm not sure if I made the right choice, as it's apparent MSi isn't the best at getting simple upgraded packages out the door.
-
The MSI GT729 was labelled 'in stock at supplier' in my retailer for the last few weeks, but it's just disappeared yesterday or the day before. I can still access the page through the old URL, but they've taken it down from the public site.
Not sure what to make of that, some kind of delay or recall possibly... -
looks ike its coming out soon ^^ although its nearly £80 more expensive than the msi gt725

Date confirmed for France august 14th, i hope it'll follow soon in the US!

im soo excited not sure if i should buy this laptop or the xps 16
-
For example, If you want the smaller screen, but want to play the latest games on max detail, you'll have to decide which one (of those two desires) is higher priority, because neither laptop does both. Do you see my point? Of course you can also go looking and find laptops you want more... I stumbled across the gt725 on like page 19 of a google search. -
Mmh... i ordered a WUXGA one... MSi wont built them with WUXGA so i will get WSXGA... still pretty gud tho
-

Theyll sent them out soon
Xiotic will only have WSXGA screens as well. MSI said no WUXGA for the USA -
I wonder if the Europeans got WUXGA+Bluray drive version. Well, butter30 never mentioned about his screen res. anyway...
-
Hey eXpoSiTiv and Gentlemen, could tell me what has been your experience with the MSI GT729 BD (1900x1200), as has worked turbo option? even as the system speed up?Last edited by a moderator: May 8, 2015 -
Does anyone actually have a MSI GT729 yet? I'm thinking of getting one from xotixpc, it looks to be the best laptop with everything for under $1600. And why do you guys say US people dont get WUXGA, will it just not show up with 1200p or does the configuration change to WSXGA+ when you select your country?
-
The best thing is to check the specs for your retailer to make sure you know what screen res and spec it has. -
Ok I'm looking at Xoticpc and they have it in 1200p.
-
^^
Unless you were planning to get GT729 from EU reseller, then most likely no. Got a forwarded email from MSI NA confirming that also. -
hello there, i'm about to buy this laptop (gt 729) and gratefull to this topic.
some think i have in my mind;
1) first it was mid august, now mid september. i hope i can get soon... any information?
2) frostycomputer has some cpu features below the page which i don't quite get realy. there are duo2,53 duo2,8 and quad2,00 options. As far as i'm concerned quad version were coming along with wuxga version and it doesn't seem to bother in laptop details other than the raising price. xoticpc doesn't seem to have such problem thing.
3) since i live in Turkey i have to find a way to buy it without overbearing taxes (stupid thing realy). i quess thats my problem tho... -
^^
1) Rough estimation is somewhere in mid September.
2) Last confirmation I had, there'll be no Q9000+WUXGA from MSI US, though maybe it's possible with MSI EU. Since frostycomputers is a US reseller, those options you mentioned are upgrades for the basic configuration (P8700), should you choose to have your order upgraded.
3) I'm having the same problem -
MSI EU and wuxga, where did u hear it??
-
^^
As mentioned on my previous post, 'maybe it's possible', since difference in US and EU specs did happen with previous GT725. One of the poster (butter30) got his GT729 unit (came with Q9000) from lambdatek.com. -
Just sharing, got words that this GT729 shipment from MSI NA will suffer another delay up to early October, while October 1st will be the latest as they promised. Though my enthusiasm towards this model somewhat diminished already, I think I'll stick to this before finally requesting for full refund in case they failed again to meet their promised ETA.
-
What would be a sad reason why MSI keeps delaying the release. Instead of giving a voucher for a FREE Windows 7, what if they are just waiting for it to be release so that they can just have ALL their new laptops [that are coming out soon] to have Window's 7 on them already - thus saving them money on bulk Window's 7 voucher purchases... -
It really is a very poor and unprofessional approach to a new product release by MSI. I myself pre ordered it via a reseller on the 8th of July. I'd hate to think that MSI are holding back on the NA release to coincide with the Windows 7 release on October 22nd. And even if it's just down to a parts issue, surely they could inform their resellers of the issue so the customer can be kept up to date. It wasn't exactly a low cost purchase for myself.

^^
Gee... wow... you have lots more patience than I do...
Transferred on August 4th, afterwards, got freaked out and annoyed my reseller for at least once a week -

Does anyone know if I can put a second HD in this laptop??
-

nope, unless you replace the optical drive with a hard drive enclosure.
-
I seriously hope that MSI keeps their promised release date. They have been delaying this for a while. I originally pre-ordered the MSI gt628 but it was discontinued and won't be appearing in the U.S. So I switched over to the Gt729 and am hoping that they won't delay it any more or worse if they cancel it. My fingers are crossed

Ouch... Ouch...
November/early December is way too long...
