Hello everyone! Just wondering how techie people think about MSI, manufacturer of Mobo, GPU, gaming laptops and other related electronic products. How are their gaming laptops, especially the GS70, a slim type gaming laptop?
MSI Brand Gaming Laptops: Are they good?
MSI laptops are awesome except they don't have any services in India.

What he(seamon) said and just be beware of a few MSI models like the GX70, this particular model combines a an AMD 5750M Cpu with a AMD 8970M GPU.
The GPU while being very very very very powerful will be of no use due to the excessively weak CPU(very severe bottleneck), such models are a total waste of money hence should be avoided

MSI actually have an After Sales Service with SmartLink Networks. It's kind of weird why most people don't know about this.

Can you elaborate more on this? Any reviews or links to justify this issue? To what I know, AMD has this mantle technology to synergize both CPU and GPU.

MSI GX70 Review
Yes Amd does have mantle api for games which will improve performance in games for weak processors but it isn't supported Amd mobile GPU's yet
I think it will be much better if you just fill this thing.
Are you actually from MSI itself? Found you at Tech enclave.
Yes, I am verified in my profile. We're trying to hear as much feedback as possible for the re-launch of MSI gaming laptops in India. But of course, it has to be in our capacity too. We practically are like a boutique gaming company compared to those big boys. So hopefully, we can provide the expectations halfway.
It would be great if MSI gives comparable configs to the international launches at comparable prices. (unlike Alienware with shitty Indian pricing)
A
What kind of laptops will MSI be launching here ?
We actually have a terrible shortage of proper gaming laptops here in the price range of 1000-1500 $ ( 60-90k ₹).
Does MSI have any plans to launch something in that range ?
Also we would like to see some lower high range graphic cards like the AMD Radeon 8870M because none of the manufacturers offer such hardware
This is what rhyansy told me:
Hi Seamon!
We have plans to re-launch this year, with GT70 and GE60 as the first 2 models.
We don't have exact dates yet. SO hopefully, it will push through in Q2.
Hope this helps.
We're offering GTX880M and GTX870M for the disty. As for CPU, it's i7-4810M, extreme is too expensive for the market.

Edit: removed non relevant stuff. Imo this is huge for gaming laptops in India.

Did he happen to mention which ge60 model and how much for ?
If its anywhere near 60-70k, I am going to bang my head on the wall for buying a Dell lapto
Damn ! , too bad MSI sells only full Amd hardware(including those useless proccys), I would love to see an Intel Core I7 4700HQ/4800MQ with that UBER POWERFUL Amd 8970M.

I advised him to include an Intel 4702MQ(cheaper than 4700MQ) and GTX 860m below 75k, let's see how he replies.
Also he said GT series which has GTX 870m will cost above 1 lakh. That's justifiable considering ASUS sold G750JX with GTX 770m @ 1lakh 50k

Update:These guys are serious about launching gaming laptops at a low price.
They are considering pairing core i7 4710QM with GTX 860M. That's pretty solid.

Processors with suffix M are mainstream processors and those with a suffix H are the high performance ones.
WRONG!!
Just another marketing gimmick. Go ahead and check that the benchmarks of 4700MQ and 4700HQ are same. The difference? 4700HQ is permanently soldered to the board whereas 4700MQ is not. 4700MQ can be user replaced with a more powerful CPU while the 4700HQ cannot be.
A
Was talking about broadwell
Here Is the Most Complete Intel Broadwell CPU Info Yet - Softpedia News for Mobile
And yes there is a minor difference between 4700mq and 4700hq, the first one can clock upto 3.43 ghz on TB where as the 2nd one can do 3.6 ghz(there is also a minor difference in the IGPU clockspeeds)
Wrong again.
Both proccy's turbo boost only upto 3.4Ghz but on OCing do they reach the frequencies you mentioned. It's a very bad idea to OC Haswell because as if they run so hot. You don't wanna fry your mobo do you?
Nobody cares about IGPU because with this proccy a dGPU is always present.
Yes, this is MSI rep right here. As mentioned already by Seamon, we are planning to bring in GT70 2PE (GTX880M) / PC (GTX870M) and GE60 2PE (GTX860M) /PC (GTX850M). It really all depends on the channel partners we're in nego with. As techie people here knows that difference of premium gaming laptops we're offering, with so many gaming features not present vs competitors, like Steelseries KB + SSE, Danish Dynaudio sounds, Super Raid, Cooler Boost, Matrix Display, Gamecaster, and many more, our pricing internationally, and which will be offered in India will be relatively the same.
As for Intel + AMD graphics combination, as of now, we still don't have plans for this. (Might be political issue with those companies.)
Just keep up the discussion and I will help update everyone here about more information, or better yet, follow us at: *www.facebook.com/MsiIndiaClub

I would recommend to do some research before you post stuff .
As I said in my earlier post the 4700mq can be MANUALLY overclocked to 3.4 ghz.Which is just 200mhz more than the stock turbo, the increase in temperature wont be much and an efficient cooling system of a gaming laptop like the MSI GT70 would be good enough to mitigate the effect.(cannot say the same for a normal laptop like the Y510p etc)
i7-4700mq overclock? I heard it can be OC'd with intel extreme tuning utiliy, by how much? anybody? help?
According to the above thread, a 3.4 ghz 4700mq runs at 85 degrees, which is a lot less than it takes to fry the motherboard !
Also if you notice this
Intel Core i7 4700HQ Notebook Processor - NotebookCheck.net Tech
And this
Intel Core i7 4700MQ Notebook Processor - NotebookCheck.net Tech
And navigate to the CINEBENCH R 11.5 BENCHMARK SECTION you will notice that the 4700HQ SCORES ABOVE 6 POINTS IN EVERY LAPTOP IT IS TESTED WITH whereas 4700MQ SCORES BELOW 6 AND AS LOW AS 5.22 POINTS IN A FEW LAPTOPS.
SO much for having the same performance !.
- - - Updated - - -
Any plans for launching the all AMD laptops ?(GX 60,70 ?)
Also will the prices be a direct dollar to rupee equivalent or will they be more in India ?
LOL noob.
3.4 Ghz is the NORMAL Turbo boost of the core i7 4700MQ and core i7 4700HQ. Overclocking above this leads to high temps.
Intel Core i7 4700MQ vs 4700HQ
Some more benchmarks. In some core i7 4700MQ performs better while in others core i7 4700HQ performs better. Just so you know, every computer is different and there are major differences between even same models.
According to your benchmarks, the max for both are the same. The low results of some core i7 4700MQ are due to thermal bottlenecking. In some of other benchmarks core i7 4700MQ wins whereas in others 4700HQ wins by 0.5-1%. This much is acceptable between even same proccys.
So much for trying to prove me wrong. *sigh*. Try not to be so self-righteous, be humble and post with an open-mind.
core i7 HQ is the better proccy only when both are overclocked using expensive Thermal pastes and additional copper heatsinks but in real world usage both processors give the same performance.
core i7 4700MQ overheats without OC in Y510p. These proccys won't overheat 17 inchers but OCing them definitely will. Besides both of them are very powerful and don't need overclocking.
Overall imo core i7 4700MQ is still better as this one is not soldered to the mobo and can be upgraded later if need be.
A
Intel Core i7 4700MQ Notebook Processor - NotebookCheck.net Tech
As I said before, do some research and verify your facts before calling others a "noob".
The 4700mq turbo's upto 3.4 ghz on a single core,3.3 ghz on two cores and 3.2 on a quad core config(no of active cores).Overclocking it will run the 4700mq at 3.4 ghz on a quad core config, similarly a 4700hq will run at 3.6 ghz on a quad core config when overclocked.
And no, overclocking these proccys by such a small amount does not require expensive heat sinks and thermal pastes, an efficient cooling system of a gaming laptop should be enough to handle the extra heat.
Read this and enlighten yourself !
4700HQ overclocking
And just so you know, I always post with humility until people start calling me a noob(on more than one seperate occasion, that too without reason) and start writing/shouting "WRONG" in caps.
Cheers!

You did not specify in your first post whether you were talking about one core or 4. Not my fault. I assumed you were talking about one core for which the TB is 3.4 Ghz.
What are you trying to prove through your link? I see a bunch of guys trying to overclock a core i7 4700HQ with temps as high 96-98 degrees. That's very hot. Temps like those will damage the mobo. For some one who has no experience in overclocking, you sure do create a lot of ruckus.
- - - Updated - - -
FYI benchmarking with Cinebench doesn't check CPU overheating because benchmarking lasts for 1-2 min. Running Prime95 for 30 mins is a real test of CPU overheating.
A
Whatever you say, Mr pretend-to-know-it-all.(but even a guy with zero experience in computers knows that when speaking about overclocking we consider all the cores and not just one).
The guy in that thread who was running a temp of 96 degress had a bad paste job and sent his laptop for mantainence, the rest of them were running a temp of 86 degrees, but whatever you say....
That's your assumption. Some people try to OC just one core to see its limits.
For the past 2-3 hours, you have been frantically searching the internet to find proof of how the core i7 4700HQ is somehow better than core i7 4700MQ just to prove that you are correct and I am wrong and you call me Mr pretend-to-know-it-all, such hypocrisy.
I went through that thread again and it does not have anything to prove that CPUs are overheating or not. They are just running Cinebench which runs for say 1 min most? That's not even enough time to get the CPU warmed up. Heating occurs slowly. If all the cores are being used 100% for say 30 mins and the temps get very high, only then you know there is overheating in the CPU.
A
Have a looksy at the thread again, then you will realize who is trying to prove what.
My first statement was that intel is releasing two different lineups with broadwell a mainstream lineup with suffix m and a high performance lineup with suffix h(which infact is true), and somehow you managed to connect that to 4700mq and hq which are haswell generation processors.
Then I mentioned the subtle difference between both(I never said one is better than the other) and yet somehow you managed to connect it to overclocking and performance.
Looks like your RC skills need some work.That being said I am going to settle this "which is better" debate once and for all.
4700HQ is better than 4700MQ purely in the terms of specs and all round usability because.
1. Higher overclocking capacity
2. Slightly higher GPU clock
3. It supports "Intel I/O Virtualization Technology", which 4700mq doesn't making it the ideal processor to run VM's on(If you dont know what that is, google it)
And for cooling an overclocked 4700mq in a gaming laptop, we will need a cooling pad at max as mentioned in this thread.
*forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/5542-4700mq-overclocking.html
You are the one who went off topic. How the hell did Broadwell even land here? This was a discussion of MSI laptops which will have Haswell proccys. Broadwell is still a long way ahead.
You went ahead and posted benchmarks claiming core i7 4700HQ is better than core i7 4700MQ. Stop contradicting yourself.
Wrong again.
the 4700 line is never meant solely for creating VMs, the XM line is recommended for that.
1.Bad idea to overclock Haswell.
2.These CPUs come with dGPUs so no need of iGPU performance.
3.point.
4. 4700MQ is user replaceable which opens the possibility of upgrading CPU to core i7 4930MX for workstation purposes.
In a real world scenario, both CPUs will perform equally no matter what. Suppose the core i7 4700HQ is OCed to provide better performance then it will slow down due to thermal throttling.
4700MQ is still better considering the massive advantage it provides.
- - - Updated - - -
When adequate cooling is supplied, then overclocked core i7 4700HQ is better as mentioned before.
A
You started the performance debate, I just joined in.
Anyways, this is from one of your earlier posts.
Update:These guys are serious about launching gaming laptops at a low price.
They are considering pairing core i7 4710QM with GTX 860M. That's pretty solid.

Do you think 4710mq is a haswell chip ?, LOL ! ..I am beginning to think that I am wasting my time here
And xm/mx(same thing) series for Virtual Machines, LOL !.
Sure, lets use the Intel extreme series for running VM's and Intel Xeon series for playing games.
4700HQ has better virtualization capabilities than its counterpart is what I mean't, and now I seriously don't give a damn about which is better, but I will rest my case by saying that notebookcheck ranks the 4700hq above the mq.
I won't comment on 4710MQ which is something rhyansy requested me to keep confidential. Rest assured for you it doesn't exist.
XM is a mobile processor line whereas Xeon is desktop. Seriously.....now I feel I am wasting my time.
A
Confidential eh ?, I agree, lets keep a mainstream quad core processor from Intels upcoming Broadwell lineup confidential.......Oops !...Oh No ! , now the CIA will come after me,anyways tell your friend rhyansy that we would appreciate the inclusion of Broadwell's high performance lineup(suffixed with H) and not the mainstream lineup(suffixed with M).
Now while we are on this subject, let me educate you about Intels Xtreme lineup, the processors from this lineup are suffixed with X and include both desktop and mobile CPU's.These processors are meant for demanding applications and games, on the other Intel Xeon is a series exclusively built for servers and and powerful systems meant to run virtual machines, but these are very expensive so people on a budget have to use normal Cpu's
Okay, the is getting out of hand, CPUs issues aside, there's not point arguing it now here as the main point is whether MSI will re-launch gaming laptops to India or not. Just wait for the official release by Intel and compare as you please.
For now, back to more relevant topic, as mentioned earlier, we will start to release GT70 and GE60 only an initial re-launch. As for other gaming laptop models, they will follow once market acceptance is good. Please also understand the business stand point that our main problem is bringing expensive gaming laptops locally is not easy task as it posses so much risk for the channel partners. If it do not sell well, how do you think will we continue?

Hello AbhMkh, I appreciate your ideas for MSI gaming laptops. Regarding CPUs aside, if you need more information about more relevant info about our gaming laptops, feel free to chat with me at MSI India Club in Facebook: *www.facebook.com/MsiIndiaClub

Back to the original topic, please give only relevant feedback about MSI gaming laptops to help in re-launching in India. It will help all lot on how to plan this out in our part. Thank you!
Will the screen resolution be limited to fhd? It would be great if we can get resolution greater than fhd.
I think the 3k one will cost a lot. At least more than 1 lakh 40k if rest of the config is set to minimum.
Calm down everyone.
Stick to the topic.

[MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION] what about pricing? will it be cheaper than say alienware or other overpriced brands and will there be customisation options like how USA laptop sites have?the timing is just perfect , i was looking for a laptop to replace one of my beasts who gave in last week and MSI would be a no brainer for me if its cheap ,gives customisation and after sales warranty etc
Alienware people are daylight robbers. GT 750m in lowest alienware laptop for 1 lakh 18k
Alienware people are daylight robbers. GT 750m in lowest alienware laptop for 1 lakh 18k
+1 to this. They don't even give customisation options at that price.
K
yeah i have a higher opinion of MSI over alienware hell even my dell inspriron turbo had better customisation options and value for money compared to alienware india+1 to this. They don't even give customisation options at that price.
i nearly bought the alienware m14x instead of my dell but was dissapointed with the vfm and config
the dell was very close to the m14x except for gpu and design ofcourse but benchmarks were nearly as good as m14x
MSI's withdrawal and return to india will revolutionise the laptop scene if MSI retains its lower pricing and customisation
my friend had an MSI laptop from USA which has an older config but still runs exceptionally well and smokes most other laptops available here
Believe it or not, Alienware was once a Clevo reseller until they did so good that Dell bought them.
K
yeah i know infact clevo and alienware still have similiar design and configs but price difference and on board software(alienware FX etc) are different
I really hope they do well in India. My plans for my next laptop was to import one, now I guess I can get one from India. I think I'll buy core i7 5000MQ(Broadwell) and Nvidia GTX 980m next.
Well if the become successful it will be good for all in one way or another.
Yes, for LCD, it's FHD, but 2K resolution and anti-glare. Going up to 3K is a big upgrade and as of now, even in developed countries, acceptance is still not that high because the cost is still a bit steep. Hope this solves the case for screen resolution.
- - - Updated - - -
Hi there! MSI's pricing will be relative to those given in other countries, taking in considerations taxes and shipping costs.
As for customization, we do offer a whole lot of range of gaming laptops configuration for most people's needs, but as of now, we do not have customization offerings yet, if this means built-to-order type gaming laptops. Actually, may I ask how customizable is customizable?
As for after sales, we have SmartLink as the third party service provider, which covers almost the whole country. BUT we aim to improve it to make it on call so people can reach us efficiently. It's the lack of accountability that doomed us before in this segment. Give give your feedback regarding this matter and we're very happy to listen.
IMO customizable laptops have:
choice of:
1.CPU
2.GPU
3.RAM
4.Blu ray drive/DVD drive/HDD/SSD on bay.
5.HDD/SSD
6.msata SSD
7.Glossy/Matte display
The should(not necessarily) have choice of:
1. Wifi card(Killer and Intel Ultimate ones).
2. Thermal Paste(Arctic Silver V or IC Diamond)
K
hey thanks for ur reply, customisation as in what [MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] mentioned in the previous post + maybe smaller add ons like backlit keyboard,choice of type of keyboard(chiclet or full size with number pad) and battery(6-cell or 9-cell)
though even MSI 's default configs sound superior to other laptops available here at the moment,customisation would be an excellent feature as well
hope to see more MSI in India!(i have a few MSI motherboards in 2-3 of my desktops already,oldest being 8-9years old and still a solid system

All MSI laptops have custom backlighting. Their Kbs are steelseries ones.

So [MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION] , any update on the release dates? I'm more interested in a ~75k model, with FHD and maybe a 850M or 860M. A model at this price range would be very popular I bet.
Also, an option to buy an OS less config would be good, provided the difference in pricing is significant to the customer. (I hate windows 8)
As mentioned earlier about the release of GT and GE series, it covers a full range of specs even though it's not fully customizable.
(1) CPU --- All MSI gaming laptops that will be released in the future are i7-4710MQ/HQ. (A gaming laptop must have the best processor, no questions, no customization needed.)
(2) GPU --- this is customizable in a sense in which you can choose which model at once (body of laptop, either GT or GE) GT covers high-end GPUs in GTX880M/GTX870M and GE covers GTX860M/GTX850M.
(3) RAM --- customizable. MSI will offer basic 8GB of RAM, upgrades can be up to 32GB for GT and 16GB for GE.
(4) ODD --- Not customizable. They come prebuilt to the lappy. And who needs one in this day and age!
(5) HDD --- customizable. MSI will offer basic 1TB of memory, upgrades up to Super Raid 2 384GB SSD for GT and Super Raid 256GB SSD for GE.
(6) LCD --- Not customizable. It's not recommended to have this option at all.
So that wraps it up! It should be fine this way. We can cater to everyone's needs.

No updates yet on official release dates. BUT pricing will be relative to other countries, taking in consideration taxes and shipping costs.

We can offer all lappys as free DOS. This is no biggie.
OP is a damn good representative 
no OS means savings of at least 5k right?
Came here to say this. I would like a Windows 7 pre-installed or a No OS/Linux option. The best Laptop I could find without the mess that is Windows 8 was the HP Pavillion 15-n204tx and I was about to buy it but then I saw there were no Windows 7 drivers provided by HP. :/
So please consider releasing a No OS/ Windows 7 pre-installed laptop and do provide the drivers for Windows 7 in case of the former.
Aren't you guys demanding a little too much? Let them first setup their business here.
A
I am not sure what the case is with MSI laptops being sold in other countries but can we get laptops with an unlocked BIOS here in India to facilitate overclocking.I know there are various concerns about overheating and damage to components at the hand of rookies who would then come and claim warranty but if since none of the OEM's give an unlocked BIOS, this can be a plus point for MSI which is trying to establish itself as a gaming laptop brand.
I would also like to recommend a superfast dual core from intel's stables like the I7-4600M as one of the processor option(reducing the price accordingly).According to notebookcheck
Right now, the Core i7-4600M is Intel's most powerful mobile dual-core processor. Its clock speed of 3 GHz can be boosted to 3.6 GHz for both cores or 3.7 GHz for just one core, if necessary. "When compared to quad-core Core i7 CPUs, every single core is decidedly more powerful due to the higher clock speed. Only when all cores are required for a certain task can quad-core CPUs outpace their higher-clocked dual-core counterparts."
So this dual core shouldn't have any problem in handling those high end GPU's while keeping the overall price below a quad core equipped system.
Cheers!

A small review of both msi laptops

*m.youtube.com/watch?v=z_fxnCCx9_c
Win8.1 will be the staple soon as there are rumors that MS is cutting off support for Win7 soon, soon meaning it might happen this year or the next. As of now, All MSI gaming laptop can support Win7, with the drivers constantly being updated by our techies.
- - - Updated - - -
Thank you for the comment, but as much as we like to have customization in CPU level, it is MSI management's decision to choose (1) type to have the economies of scale and efficiency to produce the best gaming laptop configuration. i7-4710HQ/MQ is the one chosen as it is proven in development markets that it is what most gamers want.
As for unlocked BIOS, you did made the point that it's not provided because it posses so much issues and not many people can even do overclocking now, only a few really hardcore techies have this need.
Good decisions.
I doubt anyone will buy a dual core CPU in this day and age.
When left in the hands of an amateur, unlocked bios means trouble. One can easily mess up the system.

Oh, forgot one thing to ask, [MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION]
What about warranty? Will it be International. Will you guys be offering warranty extension packages?
What about warranty? Will it be International. Will you guys be offering warranty extension packages?
International warranty for (2) years for gaming laptops! This is double the industry standard! For warranty extension, must honestly say, we have to make a deal first with local channel partners to make the first baby step to have all these services right?

Hi rhyansy ..

I see "Active content removed" instead of the video ...
So FreeDOS confirmed? I mean I would prefer getting Windows 8 boxed from flipkart than pre-installed Win 8. I mean it's still better having a clean Windows 8 experience than having that bloatware infested crap and poorly designed recovery applications from most manufacturers. A lot of them are so bad that you can't even just reinstall the OS to a certain partition, it has to delete all the partitions.
Also, are there any plans to enter the lower end of the market? Like in the 40-55k range? This stuff is exciting to say the least.
M

I've a barebone's version of the ge40 (MSI-1492) that I had delivered to me from the UK.
So far, I'm really satisfied with the performance packed in the slim chassis. The powerful i7-4700MQ coupled with the GTX 760m packed in a light 14" body made it a perfect choice for me as I'm a hardcore gamer but also wanted a laptop that I could carry to college.
I'd very much like to see MSI launching their products in India, especially since I've bought this laptop with a huge risk - I've nowhere to go to for repairs in case anything goes wrong, nor do I have any option to get spare parts(such as a spare battery) other than importing.
I'd very much recommend MSI laptops to my friends after using this one, the ge40 and the gs60 are excellent options, at affordable prices(my custom ge40 is configured exactly as an alienware 14 which is 50k more expensive).

Alienware 14 has FHD screen and GTX 765m which is clocked higher than GTX 760m.

Also Alienware prices are BS.
+1 to this.
IMHO, FHD and GTX 765m are not worth spending Rs 50k extra. at max 10k is ok.
Actually, you can still bring any MSI laptops bought elsewhere for repair with SmartLink locally, but for a cost only. It's better than bringing back the laptop back to UK for service. Thank you for the feedback tho! It really provides us confidence of bringing MSI gaming laptops back to India.

Ah, MSI's gaming laptops are all anti-glare type in addition to at least 2K resolution!

Why does he need to pay a fee for repairs? Isn't the warranty international like you said?
You mean fhd right, cuz actual 2k is 2048x1080 pixels.
International warranty is honored in most countries around the world. BUT India's ASP contract with MSI do not have this agreement. This is because of capacity and costs to maintain the after service in India and also to encourage MSI laptops be bought in India and not elsewhere. This is very honest answer and hopefully as customers, we can also understand the vendors burden regarding this support.

BIG NEWS: MSI laptops might become available the second half of the year! Relaunching is almost certain.
Problem facing now is of certification issues, BIS certification. If anyone have any idea on how to help us with expediting this please give us your feedback.
Thank you so much for the help!
^ BIS certification is more like BS certification.
they have gone nuts and most certainly will push India back to stone-age if rules like that are continued to be made.
IMHO, OEMs like LG, Sony, Samsung, Apple, Lenovo, Dell, etc who already have a huge presence in India would take a stand against such bill and not let it be made into a norm.

So laptops from outside won't be serviced here in India, but laptops bought in India would be serviced outside India? Ok, fine by me!
The BIS thing is really BS.
The BIS thing is really BS.
Yes, it really is! I will post a separate post regarding this matter. There are so many certifications already from US, EU, JP from most electronics that adding another one is really meaningless.
- - - Updated - - -
I'll explain again the (2) scenarios.
(1) MSI laptop bought outside of India --> Can be serviced in India BUT for a fee (SmartLink ASP in India's contract with MSI)
--> If returned to wherever it is bought, as this case in the US, if the laptop is still under warranty, it can be serviced for free BUT you have to ship it back to US
--> MSI laptop bought in US can also be serviced in other official ASP. Refer to link for complete list: *www.msi.com/page/warranty
(2) MSI laptop bought in India --> As long as laptop is under warranty, laptop can be serviced for free.
--> Can also be serviced internationally for free under warranty in other official ASP.
Hope this helps!

Sorry, I had old info.
I got my MSI at 70k, THIS alienware is available at 117k. It has a WORSE card(GT 750m) and costs 48k more. The GTX 765m version is for 6k More than that..
Granted the alienware has a 1080p screen, and I had the option for that in my msi too, for about 5k more, but I chose to save the money for two reasons-1) at 14", 1080p is overkill and 2) I compared benchmarks of 760m at 900p and 765m at 1080p, the 765m at 1080p gives 10 FPS less on an average.
So in my opinion, my SkyfireIII(MSI ge 40) beats an alienware on any day.
Also, I know alienware pries are BS, but at the time of my purchase(and probably till date), there's no other laptop available in India with a GTX760 or 765...The indian market jumps straigh from a lenovo Y510P(65k) to the likes of alienware 14/17 and Asus G750JX (over 110k) so there's nothing else to compare with...
- - - Updated - - -
Glad to know that. Delhi is a lot closer than the UK...
And no,I was expecting no warranty from MSI, since it's based on barebones the warranty lies with the custom laptop manufacturer. I only hoped that MSI would service it at least at a price..

I own a Msi x460dx and I am very happy from it. The build quality of this one is awesome and it is also pretty easy to self-service, Open up and clean the vents, fans and all if you do that.
I have this laptop for over an year and have faced no issues so far. This one heats a bit with excessive gaming but nothing compared to Dell and HP heating on moderate or light use. Besides this is not built for gaming so I do not expect it to be cool like gaming models.
The only minus I thought were that, when I tried to open the monitor the wiring were not properly arranged, lots of loose cables not properly placed, but for normal use that never had any problem. I stumbled upon this when I was exploring the device.
I would 100% back you to go for Msi. Never needed a servicing till date.
When i bought the MSI I was too concerned about servicing and stuff and took a gamble and have not regretted yet. Also there are few outsourced servicing centers in India but not so widespread.

Alienware 14 with 750m is for komplete idiots konsidering it's a komplete ripoff. I was talking about 765m version. Y510p with dual cards performs on the level of g750jx but not available here.
760m has the same specs as 765m but lower clocks and can easily be made into a 765m with msi afterburner so don't compare performance at different resolutions.
i sincerely hope that after the launch of MSI laptops the competition will increase in the 65-75k range which is currently dominated by Y510p, i mean not a single option is present to the customers.
I was hoping that they could give FHD screen option for non gaming laptops having low end GPUs within 60k.
If there should be issues, please bring it to SmartLink, the ASP of MSI in India. They will service you for a fee as you mentioned.

Thank you for the positive comments. MSI laptops, especially our gaming laptops are built for quality and worldwide RMA issues are really minimal, almost non-existent. So rest assured that our products can be maximized with its ideal lifespan (3-4 years) without any issues.
BTW, we don't really recommend experimenting on the laptop. Exploring the inside of the device is not something users should be doing. You know what i mean.
- - - Updated - - -
After BIS certification is approved, I will share the model list here for reference. As of now, the product range intended for release should cover all the price range of MSI gaming laptops. So don't worry! We hope every Indian gamer will have their preference served!

rhyansy what will be your products start price range?
Will you offer customization ?

If the laptops are launched , can we expect more service centres in India? I would love to own a GE60.
Sorry for late reply, it seems for the past few days im not receiving the notifications from the forum. as mentioned earlier in the forum, customization will be in the form of a bigger product range with different prices for everyone's needs. As of now, certain to be released is GT70 series, GE60 series and GP60 series!
That's right, GP60 has been added to the re-launching models!
- - - Updated - - -
We will take note of all these concerns once re-launching is certain, hopefully BIS certification will not delay us any longer.

I've been looking around to get an MSI GT60 2OC (- 022US) from US. Since you're here I got some queries
:- GT70/GP60/GE60 will be launched but is there credible info regarding launching of GT60 series?
- if launched how much $ range are we looking into?
my max budget is $1200 ~$100 +/-- granted the BIS is all BS
but can you pls tell us more abt the launching models/dates/approx price range in INR etc via PM? oh if there's an online pre-order form i can do that stuff right away; I would've done that for ebay/amazon.com too but the import duties and any damage done is only what's stopping me from doing so
am just raring to get my hands on a gaming machine; if you guys can deliver it before end of july..I can wait to be the first MSI India re-launch customer. If you have any contact details worthy of mentioning here/PM? pls do it

(1) GT series will eventually follow but for now, GT70 is the initial relaunching model. (only screen size difference)
(2) If without delay, MSI re-launching will happen in June.
(3) As for price range, please take note of taxes, shipping costs, and warranty inclusion, many US online retailers don't offer the last one. Buying locally is still better than importing oneself.
(4) Just PM me or like our FB page for updated info: *www.facebook.com/MsiIndiaClub

I too have same budget!
Hope you release laptops with a competitive price range!!!

Still in BIS application stage, most optimistic time schedule for re-launching will be on June if all things fall in to place.

Hi there everyone! Some update regarding MSI laptop relaunching in India second half of 2014.
Great news: GS60 will be included! Whoever is interested in pre-ordering, please PM me your details so that I can forward it to Mrig Technologies, our new MSI gaming laptop partner in India.

What is the situation now ? Are you guys cleared with those BSI norms ? When can we expect GS60 Ghost ? I'm interested in the Pro model with 870M (1080p)
Need full specifications here please
BIS application is still pending...I wish this did not exist so we can offer at once...
As for GS60 configuration I will update it later on for the full spec, but it's sure to have GTX870M and GTX860M, same with what's being offered in US and other countries.
V
what could be expected price of 15.6 inch msi laptop with i7+gtx 850 or gtx 860 base model(most basic configuration).
need to know it to decide whether i should wait for MSI/y50 or not ,coz i need a lappy in first week of june.
can we expect any gaming laptop in y510p price range.?

As mentioned earlier in this thread, prices will be relative to worldwide prices (take into consideration Indian taxes, shipping cost, warranty) Final pricing is not yet out because of BIS certification still pending and will be released once it's settled.
If basing on US prices which have 0% import taxes and 12% VAT and no warranty included (India will have 1 year included).
Hope you can make a decision not basing everything with price but also the value of the gaming laptop or whatever you will purchase. Hope you understand what i mean.
Let's play the predication game.
MSI GE 60 with GTX 850m
US price=1200$.
Raw Indian price=72k
Adding ~16.85% import duties.
Importing final price=84132.
Adding 5k for BIS BS+Vat etc so
Actual Final Price: ~90,000
MSI GE 60 Pro with GTX 860m.
This should cost 5k more.
MSI GS60 Ghost
US price:1700$
Raw Indian price:1,02,000
After Import duties:1,19,187
BS BIS=8k more
Actual Final Price: ~1,28,000
MSI GS60 Ghost Pro with GTX 870m.
This should cost 10k more.
~1,40,000
Expecting the price of GT 70 Dominator Pro with core i7 4700MQ+GTX 880m to be equal to Ghost Pro ~1,40,000.
I am really hoping that my prediction will be false and at least the GE 60 falls below 80k.
PS:I don't know the exact value of import duties but I believe it to be somewhere in the late 20s. Also I think VAT here is more than in US.
[MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION] if my prediction post offends MSI AND/OR seems unnecessary AND/OR deviates from the actual launch price by a big margin then I will remove the post as soon as you say the word.

Appreciate your rough calculations. You forgot to add the warranty inclusion of about US$150 Amazon is charging for 2 year warranty. India models will include 1 year international and 1 year local warranty.

May's coming to an end
[MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION] time to rise 'n shine
humble req.: jst don't let your lowest model for launch go over 75k INR because that would be a real competitor to y510p..you know what i mean?
Update:
hmm...75k INR should be good enough for an MSI GTX 8xx 2GB variant but
if it's a 4GB variant and under 79.99k INR am game.

Will MSI provide service in india for laptops bought from outside india? eg USA (locallly or from website)
it's already been answered..somewhere in the forums by Rhyansy.
Yes, the laptop can be serviced in India (by MSI's authorized partner) but for a price if it's not a desi purchase
All MSI laptop(s) purchased within India will get standard warranty just like in US but it's just that those purchased in India can be serviced for free in US if under warranty but that's not valid for the opposite..
T
then its not worth it, because if any damage it would cost min of rs 5000 to repair it.
I had a chat with lenovo rep, he said servicing and warranty extension is both valid in india if bought in usa.
I had a chat with lenovo rep, he said servicing and warranty extension is both valid in india if bought in usa.
yes and yes.
But be advised: I wouldn't trust much on *any* company's cust. rep. for International warranty matters better if you check it specifically for a particular lenovo model from their International warranty Check page.
Moreover there is absolutely no guarantee that a particular part no. is available in India of the model is brought in from US.
So, better confirm them first; I too was/am tempted but let's see..
T
where are you telling me to check particularly? i am inclined to buy Y50 or MSIg70 aphache in august !!
Let's not deviate from Thread's topic.
Sometimes parts are not available/international warranty isn't covered properly by some companies so that's just abt it
Sometimes parts are not available/international warranty isn't covered properly by some companies so that's just abt it
Just on a side note, if anyone ever decides to get the GTX 860m then he should know that it can be safely overclocked upto GTX 780m level of performance without much rise in temperature. This is why Maxwell is awesome!

Welcome to Acro Engineering
Welcome to Acro Engineering
what time-frame for launch are we looking at rhyansy?
We're looking at July EST for launching if everything went smoothly. Will go for online shops first for availability (Flipkart / Snapdeal)
^ it would be great if two or more online shops (flipkart AND Snapdeal/Amazon) are included for initial launch as sometimes flipkart refuses to deliver in certain areas.
erm..EST?
I'd take it as mid July then
Asus has launched the G56JR and it is competitively priced with freebies too.
can you pls shed some light on MSI's pricing again with latest updates?
pls

hey any update on launch date or price?
Actually I am in dilemma right now as I will be leaving for germany in August for my masters and my old dell inspiron is almost dead..
Anyway I need to purchase a laptop ASAP and budget 75 K.
Other wise I have to go for either Dell 3537 i7 variant or Y510P i5 ( not a fan of Lenovo at all)!!
So guys please suggest.
@[rhyansy] will you honour international warranty in Germany if I buy it from India?

Why not buy in Germany? You can get a custom laptop made from Clevo resellers there.

You'll get a lot of good stuff there in EU that too comparatively cheaper in terms of config/quality/VFM

Hey thx for your reply.
Actually as my old lappy is as good as dead I have no option other than to buy one immediately for my pending assignments and work. I still have more than two months left for Germany.
Also there are some problem with money transfer as for students I have to create a blocked account there and deposit 8040 euro only there and can withdraw 670 euro per month. Making other bank account and then making deposit is cumbersome as per EU regulations.

I think you should revise your Advertising standards because here in India your this teaser won't work!
People like frank advertising with sober design!
& comparing the girl !
Gosh you should hire MBA marketing from Indian B-Schools
^^+1, if this is nearly a gaming laptop, show off the prowess in appropriate manner, gamers dont give a shite about slim and sexy, they care about the stuff under the hood.
Slim and Sexy are attractive for "OMG you got an iPhone, which android version it runs on" type of customers. For serious techies and gamers at least please elaborate the specifications.
Will update as soon as we can..sorry for the delays...

Sorry about this...our HQ has released this teaser already. We will take note and improve in the future. Thank you so much for the honest reply.

There is a new review for MSI GP60 Leopard 010 in 'Notebookcheck'. If this laptop will be released at around 50K without OS, it would have been great.......This model is available in US at around $850 in NEWEGG and XOTICPC with OS and 2 years warranty.
Model here is with Nvidia 700 series, it's EOL now. Models to be released in India will be up par with international standards of release. Unlike other competitors who still offer 1 or 2 generations back, MSI will only offer the latest ones.
Please wait for the official release as BIS is in its final stages now. We will announce the final product line up and prices thereafter.
Are you guys planning to launch anything in the 50k range? or just 70k+?
I've heard worse ideas than this from MBA grads even from upper tier colleges, usually associating a product with some celebrity. Some ads work in some parts of the continent, some doesn't. Some make some ads for the lulz. Having an ad that displays your main MSI-oriented features and then talking about z-axis height has better impact over genuine customers.
Just to give an idea, most part of this ad is more helpful.

Haha! This just say something about Taiwanese brands. BUT please take remember that MSI is the real gaming brand for laptops. In other aspects, you can count on Asus.

Ohh..sorry.... My bad.... lolz....
Neways.... since I am embarassed now.. lolz.... It's better if u guys can suggest me Ultrabook from MSi...
I am on a Survey Spree right now before I make a buying decision in the next 2 months...
edit: Btw guys...any idea for the same i.e. for ASUS UX301LA or UX302 Ultrabook
It's alright. With the relaunching of MSI in India, our new slim gaming might be your choice, the GS60 Ghost Pro and Ghost.
As BIS issues in the final stages, we are optimistic to bring our best in India soon.

a question to both, if I buy from USA (my relatives coming in a few months), some model which is released in India, will I get warranty from MSI in india?
thanks.
UPDATE : Announcing that the EST July re-launching of MSI Notebooks will be delayed to August, 2014 because of unresolved matters regarding BIS certification. It has been going very slow and out of our control. Thank you for understanding.

Yes, our authorized service partner in India, Aforeserve.com, will be able to serve RMA but with charge. Thank you for understanding that different countries have different contracts with third party service partners.

thats too bad, if I have warranty I should be allowed to claim it for free.
Also I had a chat with Lenovo, they are saying they will provide free service for a laptop which though bought in USA has been released in India.
P
An extension of TheGUNNER's question......
Will I get warranty support for MSI model not to be released India like (GT70/GT60). If yes, who will provide it? and contact of the service provider so I can get the cost structure beore making the purchase?

As we are just relauching again in India, the fact that there is no service center set-up prior to this, buying from USA was a risk itself.
We suggest you buy locally products that will be made available to avoid such hassle and problem.
Unless this model is not to be released in India, you can still contact our official distributors mentioned above (Mrig Technologies and Acro Engineering) for special order.

Everyone, please be patient for the release of instructions, products, prices, after service procedures. Once BIS certification is completed, we will start with the campaign.
only if MSI could revise/rethink/redo their price range it'd really be a "top choice"..
moving on>>

What's the price?
GE60 1LP+ (though I still have hope that it'll fall down after initial launch but then again
)highly disappointed..all for that single fan version?
Also, chkout P34G V2 (CF2) now I would recommend this to anyone going in for $1400-$1700 USD AND for those who can import/buy it directly from abroad (heard somebody praising #lowyat in KL,malaysia
)
Well, worldwide if talking about gaming laptops, MSI is already one of the best.
Here's a link to PC Mag's top 10 gaming laptops, and only MSI gaming laptops have 4 on the list!

I don't think he is doubting MSI laptops' performance but instead MSI laptops' price and that too only in India.
PS:I am still buying the next iteration of MSI GS 60 ghost pro.
Reading so much buzz about the MSi's Ghost/Ghost Pro series... I just couldn't hide my queries...So here it goes..
1.) Which is better ?(Ghost or GhostPro),
2.) Rough/Tentative Tech Specs (for both, if possible),
3.) Approximate Price in INR incl. approx.Tax(es) (although it has not yet been launched).
Cheers n e-peace....

ditto. It's not the performance I am comparing/saying abt..it's the friggin indian launch price
I had my eyes set on GS60 but seeing/knowing the launch price of a GE40.. my dream went *puft*
[MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION]
reg. GE40:
it's not the perf. but temps(current/future OC'ing potential depends heavily on single/dual fan & board's design (yes i consider it as a viable factor
)) vs launch price factor. perf is in no way a deal breaker. period.
I have quite a few friends in th/my who are pro gamers and they too had advised me to go eyes closed for an MSI notebook but that was a GS60
Here goes a quick info bites of GS60:
(1-2) Ghost Pro is better than Ghost --> Biggest difference in naming is the graphic cards suited in. Ghost Pro has GTX870M and Ghost has GTX860M/GTX850M
For more technical info : Ghost Pro (MSI Dragon Army Site | Gaming Motherboard, Notebook, Graphics card, AIO) and Ghost (MSI Dragon Army Site | Gaming Motherboard, Notebook, Graphics card, AIO)
(3) Pricing in India will be announced once everything is settled. Please stay tuned..

Actually, if you compare GS60 with their peers of slim gaming notebook group, it's quite reasonable for something of an engineering marvel. Of the bunch, GS60 has the lowest price for similar specification. (the group includes a small elite brands of MSI, Razer, Aorus)
that is true..GS60 does performs well but I am sure it'd out of my budget even after 1-2months after launch
V
Y50 already been launched at an aggressive pricing, MSI needs to come out sooner if it has to provide us a serious alternative , we are already waiting for a long time ..
Of course! Lenovo is only offering ONE model in their packaged entertainment series under gaming. MSI will provide the better range as this is our comparative advantage in this segment. Gaming Laptops = MSI Gaming.
K
The Q. Is when???
We are eagerly waiting for it!
Specifically liked the GE60 and if it launches for 80-90 k it's definitely a steal!
I would still prefer a Rs.60K-70K price Bracket for an MSi Gaming Ultrabook, More than Rs.70K would be really steep (My personal Opinion, Though) : )
Cheers n e-peace...
V
GTX starts from 850M
yea my bad.
That is the dream, but GS60 will be over 90k. It's a gaming laptop in an ultrabook body! Stay tuned next week, we will have a BIG announcement coming.
P
Next week, Does that mean the process with authorities is complete?
[MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION], please provide clarification on warranty? will we get 2 years India warranty or standard 1 year global.
(I m considering importing GT70 Dominator - 895 which has 1 year global warranty. Is it possible to get conversion to 2 year India warranty like u get 2 year warranty in US. Or can i get warranty extension)
U mentioned above Mrig and Acro can help getting these models. Please provide contacts as i cannot find their websites.
Please wait for the announcement next week together with where to buy.
As for international warranty claims, please read the thread for some explanations. To put it simply, no international warranty can be claimed in India because of our contract with the third party service partner. Warranty cannot be converted or extended either in India for something bought elsewhere.
P
What is the point of international warranty then?
wrong.
Lenovo has Y510P and Y50 (and even the y40 under its "gaming" subsection; available atleast in US that I know of)
As far as individual models are concerned..Lenovo US and other countries are present where we can have different configurations for the same model out of which unfortunately India is excluded.
This right here is the opportunity for MSI! The price range 70-80k, the multiple configuration for same models(customized models) is what gamers want.
90K+ INR for GS60!?
well many would still buy but it'd be contended by Lenovo Y50 given it's price bracket of < 80K INR that too with 3yrs of warranty+freebies(dont really care about this one)
Hi there! MSI is very down-to-earth and honest with our policies. The nearest international warranty outpost of MSI closest to India is China, Malaysia, Thailand. You can claim it there as we have full support outpost there.
Other brands also use international warranty is able to claimed but it is not the case. Hope you can understand.
N
[MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION] Where is this week's promised "BIG" announcement?
Can you at least reveal the prices (especially for the Ghost)?
I hope it won't be too expensive. The Y50 is pulling me towards it. I don't think I can hold out much longer.

Please wait. ill open a new thread for it.
Please do understand that this is a premium ultrabook gaming laptop, current competitors of Razor Blade and Auros are not even available in India. Compare the right models and pricing will be right. MSI is providing world class products without compromise to India. Regarding the comparison thread, will just go to other thread *www.digit.in/forum/laptops-netbook...0-ghost-pro-ghost-launching-announcement.html
