MSI GT735 in Canada $1999

In my opinion, it is overpriced for what you get. I hope if this is sold in the U.S, the price is lower. If this model is $1999 with its Turion X2 and HD3870, then the GT725 would be even pricier with its Centrino 2 and HD4850.

 

You can get the GT735 on mwave.com for $1249 USD.

 

Thanks.

I also found it on Amazon for the same price.

Why is that retailer selling it for $1999? The Canadian dollar is weaker than the American but not by that much.

 

Don't forget to factor in the fact that Canadian prices also tend to be higher.

 

That's just not worth it. I'd rather spend $1,734.75 CND for the ASUS G50VT-X2 and get a P8600 + GF9800M GS from newegg.ca than on somthing which is along the lines of a performance notebook rather than high-end.

 

......wow i thought this had dual 3870's...not worth price of admission!!

Also i doubt it will be this expensive lets wait and see from other retailers im sure new egg canada and tigerdrect will have it cheaper.

 

Unfortunitly newegg Canada only sells ASUS notebooks for now. :/

Hers the best Canadian site to buy MSI notebooks from:

You guys, this is the 3850.

The 9800m GS would totally beat this.

 

Yeah Canadian prices are really overinflated sadly. I mean, the x305 with a 9700M GTS is like 2000$ here lol

 

the problem i have with this notebook is not the price(i know this is canadian pricing,eh?) but its the fact that this notebook costs this much and is only utilizing an AMD processor i think thats where this fails. AMD is fine but not for 2 grand

 

Well it's not as if Gaming really requires that much processing power(in general), but yeah, higher end notebooks tend to carry Intel CPUs because they are more efficient. It's also a shame that it "only" has a 3870 in it for that price.
