Hi there


Right guys, we have secured the following, 150pc of GX740, 200pc of GT640 and we have the first batch of GX660's coming into the UK (50pc). Now your thinking thats a lot well from our past sales we sold 20pc of GX740 in less than 48hrs, yes 20pc went that quick. The reason is because equivalent specification laptops tend to cost £400-£500 as MSI are actually loosing approx £400 a unit on these as its a worldwide promotion they are doing.

This is the last we shall see of the GX740 and GT640, they will continue to run with just the GX660 for flagship gaming model which means the awsome GX740 will be nomore as will the incredible processing power blu-ray enabled GT640, so these will sell out fast, be quick:-

The complex and interconnected elements that comprise excellent sound were painstakingly identified one by one to ascertain how to systematically develop the proper notebook technologies. After undergoing a very long process of cooperative development, Dynaudio and MSI have come up with the GX660. The four directions used to develop Dynaudio Premium Sound Technology are summarized below. For serious gamers who demand extreme audio performance, the GX660 is the best and only choice!

In the past, limited space on notebooks meant speaker position was always considered last, which resulted in muddled sound in notebook speakers. Because of this, speaker position was considered during the initial stages of the GX660's development to facilitate optimum audio performance and to avoid sacrificing audio quality for incorrect speaker placement.

These are incredible gaming machines and the built in speakers on the GX660 is something else for a laptop. :)
 
Am tempted to treat myself to the GX660...am wondering if that comes with a blu ray drive. Hope so otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose of having a full HD display
 
Bahh thanks Kersey ;), you made me re-read the specs of the GX660 and now I can't decide between that or the GX740. I guess what drive they come with may decide it.
I have a 17" laptop for gaming now that needs replacing, Would I notice the size reduction down to a 15"?
 
According to the descriptions on the site the 660 comes with a DVD RW, coulnt see drive info for the 740, but since there have been a few people who already bought one maybe they can confirm what it came with.
 
i wanna get the GX660 since its AWESOME. trust me guys for only 700 more the gx660r is avaible elsewhere and the ONLY difference which most care for is the i7 720qm cpu in the gx660r but you can upgrade the cpu obviously this voids the warrenty but meh.

whens the GX660 actually out?
 
Job done, just ordered the GX660...don't really mind about the lack of blu ray drive, I'll pick one up in time and replace.

It's gonna be a great gaming Xmas this year :D
 
I paid on the credit card and will worry about paying that off when the time comes as like you kamishiku I haven't got the money at hand

I would think that I won't get charged though until the item is in stock.
 
How much better is the Ati 5870 over the Nvidia 250M.

Also does the GX660 have a better screen than the GT640?

I would search for reviews but internet is a joke where i am, thanks in advance.
 
Is the GX660 really have a Resolution of 1920x1080. Its just I google'd and other websites saying its 1368x768?

Just want to confirm before i place the order :)
 
The GX660 does have a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080.

It has a better resolution over the GT640 even though the screen is smaller.

The ATI is supposed to be better than the Nvidia 250m as it supports Direct X 11 and Shader 5. It is rated as a class 1 card where as the Nvidia card is rated as a class 2 only supporting Direct X 10 and shader 4.0.

Hope this helps guys
 
Thanks Kersey,

From what I have found these laptops are pretty much best bang for buck. I tried to build a laptop of similar spec on another website and it was well over 1k :(

I'm ordering one of these, thanks OCUK..
 
im gettin really nervous now. ive just sent my gx740 back elsewhere as i wanted more compact gaming so wanting to order the gx660. just sucks that i get paid on thursday and im worried that theyre all gonna sell out ;-(.... (sits on hands and panics..) 0_o
 
Passed another exam this morning so I'm going to order myself a GX660 tonight for some SC2 and pre-cata goodness :)
 
Same here. I hope they have enough stock. Went for the GX660 in the end. better spec and I have a spare 22" screen if I really need it (e.g. an all-nighter).
