So therefore....just know....that we will more than likely be first to market with any new gaming notebook specs!

What's the date of the NDA release?
Hi, sorry I'm late to the party here, but maybe you can answer my concern. I will soon have a requirement to buy a 15.6" thin & light gaming laptop that either comes with 16GB RAM, or will allow me to upgrade it without voiding the warranty. The RAM in the GS60-2PC is not user upgradeable - will this restriction continue in the next wave of models?
Hello!
So the only models that are difficult to upgrade are the GS models.
All others are really quite simple (back cover and there you go).
The GS models CAN be upgraded by yourself, but they are a little bit harder to do so.
The warranty is NOT void if you do this. The warranty WILL be void if you damage anything whilst doing this.
In simple terms, if you are very careful in upgrading you will be fine.
Most of our new models arriving next month will come with 16GB standard. Therefore no upgrading needed at all.
If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me on :

Hi,
I am interested in the availability of the MSI GT72 Pro 072UK and 040UKas I was hoping to get one early/mid Sept but cannot wait forever ...
Any idea when the UK will get a delivery?
Cheers,
Tim
Hi Tim
Stock will land for the NEW GT72's early next month (approx the 7th)
A few things have been updated, so well worth the wait if you are in the market for a GT72.
Regards

Not sure I would be able to afford one right now as am paying off the wedding CC, but I am sure that there are many out there who would love to see:
I5/I7
16GB RAM
256GB SSD
Storage HDD (5400/7200 options)
970/980m options
**1920x1080** screen.
Obviously priced as competitively as possible.
Without wanting to sound negative, my experience with gaming laptops (Fujitsu, Alienware and Clevo) has been they are expensive, and often have glaring flaws/defects that the companies dont want to acknowledge, sometimes even as stupid as crashing when the volume is maxed!! Stable, solid, decent build quality without glaring flaws or weaknesses, AND good performance, would be amazing as far as it's gone for me...
I understand 970/980m are due to improve TDP massively, and whilst that would not necessarily translate to costs, I could see it could translate to higher end GPUs in lower cooling/cheaper chassis.
Would be very nice to see if you could do a 'top loaded' laptop as cheaply as possible (similar concept to those AMD machines that were floating around with 7970m in with a weaker GPU), if you could get one onto market with a 970/980 near the £1k mark, with cheaper components elsewhere, as long as it was stable.
Another perfect example compromise is I am sure many would be happy with a competent 1920x1080 screen over UHD, especially at the 15/17" size, and yet so many gaming laptops seem to be opting for UHD which I am sure must cost extra to get a competent screen (competent: read decent viewing angles, colour, and black levels, decent response time...too many laptop screens with AWFUL vertical viewing angles).
ARJIBear, I realise you can't comment on 970m/980m specifics, but are you able to at least comment on the rest of this, effect on pricing/possibility on 'top loading' a model, and how a chassis with lower TDP cooling might affect weight/costs in real world terms. As just asking about chassis with lower TDP cooling, this could be any GPU so nothing NDA specific at all here.
What exactly do you think you could fit into a 1K laptop at a push?

I'm not one for gimmicky stuff like flashing lights or some bizzare fingerprint scanner.
I think a good:
CPU
Sizeable ram 8GB minimum
Single SSD (I am with others that 2 x SSD is not required)
GPU (Single - SLI/Xfire is OTT for a laptop and adds weight/heat)
Amazing screen - This is the killer feature

To reiterate what I said in the other thread, I'd love to see a more budget-targetted spec inside a tight enclosure (i.e. GS60/GS70).
I say this as I want a gaming laptop but I would be much more comfortable spending £8-900 instead of ~£1100 or so. My current laptop that I have gamed on in years past has i5 2410m, 6 GB of RAM and an nvidia GT 540m so an improved i5, 8gb RAM and a card like the 850m would be a big upgrade whilst theoretically not breaking the bank.
A single SSD (128gb would be fine) is also a must for me.

I'm looking for a really well built, good quality 14 or 15" laptop. Great screen, low deltaE, decent brightness, decent gamut. Stacks of RAM. Decent i7 4xxx cpu. Mid-high end GPU. No need for optical drive. No bling. SSD. Decent battery life when surfing. Not so thin that it can't handle the heat generated, but not so thick and heavy that it's a pain to actually use as a LAPtop, i.e. well designed and quiet cooling. Seems to be a choice of 55mm thick (GT60) or 20mm...(GS60). Can you ask your R&D department to design a goldilocks edition?!
