hi

im looking at

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-183-MS&groupid=959&catid=1828

Just a few questions

first of all i read there is 3 Msata slots are they all M.2 Type 2280?

secondly what type is the panel, Ive read some nice things about it just curios.

also i read on http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/msi-ge62-apache-and-pro-owners-lounge.771874/ that the owner had put the following into his laptop, the ram is above speed would it run at those speeds and also the Transend Msata chips are ok with this laptop?

2x Transcend 2280 256GB sata (Raid 0)
2x Kingston HyperX Impact 16 GB (2x 8 GB) 2133 MHz DDR3L CL11 ram
 
I got one, Very Very nice laptop

the screen is a thing of beauty, lovely viewing angles. The only downside is the Warranty sticker on one of the screw holes,

i need to upgrade the ram to 16gb and where i got it from didn't offer that service

spoke to msi on Facebook and they said it was OK if it was just to upgrade the ram, still not sure but ill double check with them again...

one minor downside, i cant get used to windows 8.1 but i guess thats a minor thing.

so far loving it.

RE over at the MSI forums, it appears your ok with upgrading ram hard disk/ssd as long as no other components are damaged with doing it, they did say check with your regional MSI branch

Since I have it from MSI uk thats its ok to upgrade the ram , I think im good to go...
