MSI GX740 with 5870 1gb ddr5

Guys, the machine may actually possibly run on a brushed silver aluminium chasis with the red design but its still unknow,

Medion now have a rebrand in their possession ( i have several medion products including a few msi rebrand) very reliable and good company, (10 year old machines now )

Video for the akoya x7811

HD 5870
I7 720q
Up to 8 GB DDR3
Up go 640GB HDD (Single)

The GX740 Will share the specs on the sheet i'm about to list, but the MSI will most likely have much more and the Akoya probably missing out on any OC ability and eco modes (Possibly a stripped down pannel like the Advents.)

 

100x better looking than the red chassis. Does Medion sell in the U.S.?

I'm so interested in this laptop. Are the 1099€ confirmed in europe?

 

Where did you find 1099 Euro?? I doubt it'd be that price, would it??

That akoya is actually beaut from its lid....

They sell some things in the UK i know that, They sell german, not sure about US,

But i believe they will,

Today i was thinking about medion, because i class them as realy high up in my opinion, and i come home to find this!!

Oh my, that most likely is an accurate price on behalf of medion,

Gotta keep an eye out for one of those Medions. They sell them in some supermarkets over here, but I don't think ive seen any high-end ones. €999 in Europe would be mega-cheap for a gaming laptop, though I don't know if thats vat inclusive

 

Its basically advent all over again,

Except medion are an uprated brand in comparison, i can garantee you that, from rebrands, their own products and in home repair service (If they still offer that.)

You just can't compete .

And a ton of other similar news. Old stuff, tho.

 

Xoticpc is now reporting their ETA as April for this model. Given how far back ordered the Asus G73s are I wonder which I could get first

 

Yeah it does.
Got mixed feelings about the red trim.
Great specs but so so looks.
The delays don't help either.

 

Where do you see April? I see "ETA: Middle to Late March"

 

The ETA on the GX640 & GX740 is Late April-Early May Currently...

 

I saw Rob (RK Comp) report saw May was the new ETA but never saw the Xotic page update. So I checked with one of Xotic's reps to just to get an update and was told April.

No offense Rob, I like having plenty of info before I drop a stack of cash.

 

I am really interested in this laptop. My predicament is that I have a buyer for my Sager (unexpectedly, just fell into my lap), which I hadn't planned on selling for several months yet. And I'm returning my M11x before 21 days are up, just isn't for me.

So I'll be laptopless

Although I may still get an HP Mini 311 as my netbook, so I guess that will have to suffice until I get my "real" laptop. It's between this and the ASUS G73JH-A2 but I really like this MSI. I hope ETA is truly by end of March at latest from at least one retailer that I can buy from.

 

Yep, XoticPC confirmed mid to late April for ETA.

Damn. I may have to just tell my Sager buyer to bug off and then go to sell this rig in May. Or sooner if the GX740 streams in.

 

That chassis looks like a 1722/27 chassis with an ID2 overhaul.

Definitely will be curious to see it with a 920xm under load (gulp).

 

what's ID2? Sorry lol.

 

It looks like this:



The chassis looks near identical to the 1727 outside of the new metallic lid and bezel/palmrests which is what MSI did with the 1722-ID2 which was used for the GX720 and GT725.

 

ID2 is part of the model number.

 

Okay, so i find a website for pre-order and it gives a option of take the Intel Advanced-N 6200 802.11 a/b/g/n instead of the 5300, what is the difference?Is the 6200 better?I don't really believe in number that the interprizes put...

 

So does anyone know if the gx740 has heat problems?If not i'm probable buying mine tomorrow, it is supossed to come mid march, we are almost there!

 

We won't know till someone gets one in hand and puts it against the wall. If it does use a 1722/7 chassis (which by the pics it appears to use), would I cram a 920XM in there? No. A 720QM/820QM? Meh, MAYBE but even then I'd be a smidge hesitant without some mods.

i3/i5/i7 Dual Core? No problem IMHO.

But again, we need to see it put against the wall to see what will happen.

I'm basing these results on the power/heat levels of the 1727 with a 920XM and a much more heat friendly 250M.

In addition, people rarely play the game, "When Furmark met Prime95," so that is a consideration too (Albeit WoW had no problems spiking my 920XM to 55-65W).

Monday, I'll run some tests with a 720QM in there with and without the cooling modifications (I have two bottom covers. One modded, the other stock as it came from MSI) to get an idea of what the 45W 720QM does with a 28W 250M. Hopefully I'll be able to get the tests in before a currently interested buyer and I finish working out the haggling details (heh) on my ebay listing for him to pull the trigger and I can collect some numbers to compare/contrast.

 

Where are you buying? So far they're now saying mid to late April

 

But is the risk higher that i buy it and it be noise and very hot?Like i need to buy a loptop in 1month and a half no more than that so that would be the option, there is the sager 8690 with 5870 but $1500 and no bluray, no deal, and is 15"

 

I don't believe it'l have problems, but there are no review models out so its hard to say!

 

What's the difference between MSI .. and N71jq except the graphic card, could someone compare both?

 

^^ seeing as the laptop isn't out yet you can't really compare them. however, at a glance i'd say the msi is lighter by almost a pound. looks are different. not sure how it performs, but the differences will be slight.

 

yeah few months more ;d, anyway i asked a guy from xoticpc, about the graphic card. So as i thought he said that the HD5870 is probably about 40% higher performing than the 5730 that is in the N71jq. Also the GX740 is not yet out but .. you know it's the same on both i7\4gb's RAM(1060\1333)\7200RPM so the g card differs at all.

 

40% is quite a bit. if you're gaming or using CAD and some photoshop your gonna want the HD5870.

 

If it uses the classic 1722/7 chassis, it will run on the quiet side in the realm of gaming notebooks.

Only two notebooks I've encountered that run quieter than the 1722/7 are the Asus W90 and Alienware M15x.

 

It's over 100% faster than the 5730.

 

800 MADD thanks

 

Still waiting for it.

Why doesn't it have a LED display?

 

Gah forget LED, i'm not paying for overpriced screens,

A good standard pannel is all its need, although i think it just needed more brightness on the first models, thats it.

 

But LED = less consumption, together with the i5 processor, the battery of this notebook could last weeks.

 

You have a valid point, but your still gonna find the 5870 draining, is the mobo compatible with IGP switching?

I can just squeeze 3 hours out of my machine on the 9 cell, and thats with a q9000 and a 4850 in low power haha, low brightness too (But i actually can work with that).

 

I really really hope so. That's the only thing I like from the i5 processor. If I'll have the possibility to switch to an i7-720 processor, I'd do it.

 

Q: Is this item instock?
A: Preorder only, will be instock soon. Eta is mid/ late march, eta time may vary.

ebay ;d

 

I wouldn't buy from them,

Taking pictures of the GT725 and cebit is just utterly poor.

Wait till its actually out.

 

yeah of course i'm just reviewing what's out ;d, anyway i am not sure am i gonna buy gx740 but i want good graphic card around 1000 \ 1500 so 5870 for the moment is good shot;], i've got few months may be more before i buy smth, it might be after i9 released.

 

Hehe, hope i didn't seem to snappy, there should be a fair amount of good releases coming man, the little brother is showing signs of GDDR5 5850's everywhere! and coupled with a nice processor (With IGP support perhaps).

You also have the ASUS G73, The MSI GT660 (Pretty nice but it'l be costly i'm sure), there are a fair amount of books that seem to be fitting in to the new generation quite nicely .

 

You know man ;d i just want something looking good perhaps 17", i7\4DDR3\1333\500\7200\why not 5870 ;D. But G73 you know is just gaming notebook mainly, i mean it looks just gaming and its too full of all too big Boy ;D. I want something for multimedia at all (i don't say i'm not gonna play some games but....)movies, mp3, dts, etc. I want something with little bit more future kinda..you know what i mean. FULL HD is on first place ;d.
off topic
Actually i'm going to USA in two months... some work you know for 4\5 months if i found way i'm going to stay in usa but we'll see is it gonna be GX or smth else ;].

 

Aha, well you know man i pasted the medion machine, i have the advent, which is a fairly discreet model, and thats what MEDION will do also, but the medion version of the GX740 will be extremely nice,

If its out by the time your in USA, you can get it for amazing price (1099 USD/EU i forget) and you will have a very reliable machine infront of you!
Infact, maybe it'l even be out where you are, i'm not sure if Medion are heavy in the USA, they are mainly in Germany i think,

But check it out!


And i currently use this rebrand,


But advent are really poor in comparison to medion, especially when it comes to warrenty and repairs!

 

Thx man .. i don't know we'll see but i'm pretty sure i'm gonna buy some notebook when i reach usa rofl. I'm from Bulgaria ;]

P.S. it's 1000 EUR :|

 

Yeah, that's shady on Frosty's part, but they did it before pre-selling the 1725 which was then canceled, so ah well.

 

I'm from Italy, and the italian's Medion website is soooooooo outdated... :/

Can't find that Akoya...

 

Isn't available until April, The new Medion is the MS-1726 with the new ATI card (5870 GDDR5) ID number is unknown so far.

Please understand this is just info, so details/configuration can be changed.

 

All this power for 999€? Can't believe it...

EDIT: any news about a possible BluRay-DVD combo?

 

Done some translation, so please typing isn't my fault.

In the wake of the Akoya P6622 and the E1222 Medion Akoya is soon with the Akoya X7811 notebook. This notebook has been displayed by the manufacturer at the CeBIT trade show and its way into the gamingsegment. Under the bonnet of this machine is in fact an Intel Core i7 processor 720QM. For anyone who is not enough, there is the option for faster Core i7 820QM. In addition, the X7811 equipped with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM and GPU Medion has chosen for the ATI Radeon HD 5870, 1 GB of GDDR5 has at his disposal. This card will send a 17 inch LED display that works in a resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels.

Medion appearance seems MSI's gamingnotebooks taken as an example, what emerges in the Red WASD keys of the QWERTY-octave. The enclosure is built from brushed aluminum, while the screen and the keyboard in matte black, which are less easily fingerprints should be left behind. The keyboard is also equipped with a numeric portion. The multi-touch muispad with the two push buttons is, as usual, just below the Clavier, somewhat to the left.

The new harbor an Akoya notebook DVD burner, DVB-t tuner, 3.0 megapixel webcam, and a card reader. Networking is an integrated Gigabit network controller, a wireless 802 .11n draft module and Bluetooth. The connections among other four USB2.0, a few audio inputs and outputs, eSATA, and d-sub and HDMI to send video signals. Medion has also the notebook features a Dolby Home Theater system consisting of a subwoofer and four speakers. The whole is powered by a 6-cell battery and is bundled with a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.

The Medion Akoya X7811 is expected around the beginning of April and allegedly solely through downloadable online shops. The implementation of Core i7 720QM will be an SRP of $ 999 with us, while the 820QM helping the price to $ 1299.

 

Muahaha, exactly what advent did, although medion work with MSI alot in the past (Believe me all my medion machines are MSI haha).

If they haven't dropped the ball, we are still all in for in home warrenty and such, thats why i was such a fan of them! .

 

So, no BluRay, but a really interesting DVB-T reciever included, which is great!

BTW, 32 bit Windows 7 is lame.
