MSI Launches GT70 Mobile Workstation

After the first launch of GT60 Mobile workstation in December 2012, MSI will soon deliver a 17 inch Intel Haswell Platform Mobile Workstation . GT70 2NH equipped with Core i7-4700MQ Processor and Nvidia K3000M Quadro Graphics Card. Its CPU performance compare to last generation of Intel Core i7-3630QM has 10% improvement. K3000M under SPECviewper 11 tests and most of the OpenGL professional graphics design usage has more than 15~25% Graphics Performance improvement than K2000M. That could give profesional designer faster experience and save more time on complicate rendering works.
If you know about MSI last generation workstation GT60, then you must know MSI unique feature- Super Raid, which enable two times of SATA3 mSATA SSD plus one 2.5 inch HDD storage space. This time it's even better ! GT70 provides new technology Super Raid 2, which contains up to three 128GB SSD plus a 2.5 inch HDD. Three SSD can provide around 1500MB per second access speed and up to 800MB write speed. When you have to work with content like CAD engineers, photographers, designers, artists, video editors or whoever need to work with large images or video & audio files can definitely benefit from using SuperRaid 2.
Another big plus feature for multi tasking users, especially for DCC industry, is Multiple Display! MSI GT70 ships with a Mini Display port, VGA & HDMI connectors, so users can have the ability to output to an array of three external displays simultaneously from one GPU. Heavy CPU or GPU loads users can also benefit from MSI latest Cooling system- Cooler Boost 2, especially for those who have higher demand on heavy-load modeling, rendering or editing ; users can simply by pushing one button then access to system cooling controls.
In 2013 MSI will continuingly expand workstation product line and sales, marketing activities in order to offer more invaluable features to professionals.

The ASUS G75VW and G55VW series have not been Discontinued and just started being released at the end of April 2012.
They are available at many places. The Best Buy - Asus model G75VW-BBK5 sells at $1200. But rather get the better G75VW-DS71 / 72 or 73 (BB doesn't have yet) which is much more $1700. In my opinion it's the BBK5 unit that Asus no longer makes.
MSI has made a large leap into the Laptop market since they are nearly the new kid on the block on PC's.
Best Buy doesn't sell a large selection of Gaming or 17 inch laptops due to cost and customer affordability.
Most Gamers use Desktops cause they are easier to upgrade, keep cool, and stock the better performing High End Graphics Cards also use of Multiple Monitors. As laptops will always be a notch below what a desktop can do for Gamers.
A gaming Desktop is cheaper in regards to Laptop Price.
The main advantage with a Laptop is portability - pack it up and go.
Several Online Venders that Customize Builds to your requirements are expensive but could be worth a look into.
The most noticable, reliable, quality made gaming PC's that BB carries are ASUS, Dell-Alienware, MSI and ( Levono for the average-budget minded gamer).
As far as BB still having the product in a few months relies upon many factors. The sooner you get it the better.
Remember to do your Homework and Research before purchasing anything. Stay within your means and budget.
We've all heard " What is here today, may be gone tomorrow ".

Ummm...what? I think you have 3 or 4 different topics all mixed up in there, but without any punctuation I am unable to understand you.
I think you cannot find the AppWorld icon on your BB, so please try this sequence:
1) Remove AppWorld from your BB
KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld

Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works.
I think you also have some problem with backups, but from your words I cannot even guess at what that's about. Hence, please see the link in my auto-sig on this post for proper backup instructions, and use that as a better guide from which to ask for help.

I got the chance to visit Computex this year. I also visited the MSI booth and I found some really cool things--Tobii and the 3D holographic projection of the MSI dragon. I played a demo of game in an open world environment. With Tobii where you look the character looks. It is a new form of eye tracking that is so precise that no one even has to show you how to use it. Here are a few of my own pictures of the show.

Open the color box you will find 2 black boxes inside.
One on the left is the GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS, the right side one is full of surprise! These gaming style accessories only comes with Super Pack version, not every GT60 Dominator Pro will have these great gaming gears together.
The gift box comes with Gaming headset, Gaming mouse, Gaming pad and Top Player Top Choice stamp tool. SteelSeries is really great and famous on gaming gear devices; MSI is also great on gaming notebooks, they are too professional to co-work with SteelSeries!
The SteelSeries KINZU gaming mice, 3200dpi/1600dpi, very accurate optical mouse for 3K resolution monitor.
Put the mouse on the mouse pad, with the fancy Dragon tattoo makes me feel I am ready to play games, Top Player Top Choice!
The SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming mouse, this is high quality headset and customized version for MSI gaming notebooks with fancy MSI dragon tattoo!!
Take a look on the customized artwork, the dragon tattoo on the metal cover of both set, and the Dragon gaming logo in the headset as well, that makes this headset more gaming style and looks powerful!
This Gaming headset belongs to MSI notebook accessories! The sound quality is really good, detail is clear on mid and high frequency, subwoofer is powerful and really suitable for gaming, even you wear for hours still feel comfortable and stable, overall quality makes me feel it’s over $150 value!
Very special stamp tool, I would like to put chocolate on this and stamp on the Dragon Gaming Cake!!
Let’s start to reveal the first lady, no, the real steel of GT60 Dominator Pro!!
Look at the surface of the design, Dragon logo with light from darkness on the cover, and the metallic material on top cover and palm rest side, which makes the GT60 Dominator Pro looks high quality and gaming style.
Take a look on the cover side, the Dragon Gaming Logo is really fancy and stylish with backlit. Brushed metal design makes the cover looks high quality and solid.
Sound by Dynaudio speaker system, the best famous mobile sound system on this top level GT60 Dominator Pro gaming notebook is really amazing, great on sound detail and real good acoustic of human vocal and great sound stage presents!
We put all the accessories together and boot up to check further detail on GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS version! The display quality is vivid.
Let’s take a look on the detail spec., 384GB SSD Super RAID, Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, top level GTX880M 8GB GDDR5 graphics, 32GB RAM. It’s all top level and could use for 3 more years of ultra-quality games!
When first time to use MSI gaming notebooks, you will feel amazing about the SteelSeries keyboard is really good typing feeling and solid based. It comes with multi-color backlit and move the windows key to right side, that really professional design as a gaming notebook keyboard, and the only one with real gaming design.
Take a look in the SteelSeries Engine, the exclusive gaming software only for MSI gaming notebooks. This macro keys software built in Keypress macro, Text macro, 1 key launch program and Disable key function, besides F1~F12, all other keys could be used for macros setup, and 4 layers of keyboards o setup 4 sets of macros with 4 sets of different backlit combinations, so this is really a great software for smarter and stylish gaming experience.
With CPU-Z tool to check, the upgraded Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, TDP 47W, 4 Cores 8 Threads is really great performance, CPU Boost could up to 3.5~3.7GHz.
Because of Core i7 4800MQ and GTX880M, the 3D benchmarks comes with breakthrough scores than ever on the notebook platform, 3D Mark Fire Strike: P5351 pts.
The GT60 Dominator Pro on 3D Mark 11 gains P8461 pts, it’s whole new level of the gaming notebooks, and It’s over 15% faster than GTX780M!
The 3D Mark Vantage boost up to P33115 scores, it’s 14% faster than GTX780M!
Then we check on other software of DirectX11 3D performance, the Heaven Benchmark is world’s 1st software tool to test DirectX11 effects, this time we use Heaven Benchmark version 3.0 to test.
Set the Tessellation on normal to enable DirectX11 effects and run Benchmark, the Full HD resolution could get 78.2 FPS(Frames Per Second) high score result.
Since this GT60 is 3K IPS panel edition, of course we have to try 3K resolution, you could see that the result block is smaller at 2880x1620 resolution, the result is 42.7 FPS with same setup, so we could say that 3K resolution will reduce over 45% of the FPS rate in this test, but GTX880M is too powerful, so still over 40FPS, and most games we need to get over 30 FPS to play and feel smoother, at least 20 FPS to play a game, if lower than 20 FPS, that will makes people feel lag obviously and feel dizzy easily.
Since we tried some benchmark, of course we have to try at least a famous game to the real world experience. Battlefield 4, the biggest FPS game title since end of 2013, is one of the heaviest loading games on PC platform.
First we made Battlefield 4 detail at 1920x1080 with Ultra Graphics Quality setup.
The gaming frames is 46 FPS, really smooth and around 20% faster than GTX780M.
Once we tune up the resolution to 2880x1620, the FPS drops a lot because the Ultra mode also set 4xMSAA (Anti-Aliasing), that will impact the performance a lot in higher resolution, also make graphics memory demand around 3GB~4GB, seems the 8GB GDDR5 with GTX880M is prepared for upcoming games with such as 3K or even higher resolutions!
We could see it’s about 24~28 FPS under 3K resolution with Ultra Graphics Quality, most time it will reduce over 40% FPS rate of the gaming performance.
Seems to set the Battlefield 4 with “High” graphics quality on 2880x1620 resolution is more suitable to play the game smoother in every theme.
It’s about 42 FPS, close to the 1920x1080 Ultra graphics quality. So if we want to play heavy loading games at 2880x1620 resolution, set to High graphics quality setup is a good option for 3K gaming!
After these 3D and gaming tests, let’s take a look on the temperature of the cooling system. The room temperature is 25 degree C, the temperature of fan out part is 71.2 degree C, it’s not a surprise because of GTX880M and Core i7 4800MQ, even it’s a bit lower than most gaming notebooks with this 2 combinations. The palm rest and keyboard side is 30.6 degree C, it’s really cool for users to hands on.
After the fabulous experience of great 3D performance, let’s take a look on the benefits of “Super RAID 2”, normal 2.5” HDD is about 80~100MB/s, single SSD is about 400~550MB/s, BUT, GT60 Dominator Pro boost over 1536MB/s and average is 1477MB/s, that’s 15x faster than single HDD, almost 3x faster than single SSD.
If we check on the AS SSD Benchmark tests, you could see more detail of the storage access performance is amazing, the Sequential read is 1116.76MB/s, write is 786.79MB/s. 4K-64Thrd read is 665.09MB/s, write is 461.18MB/s, it’s ultra fast!
The GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition comes with Killer Doubleshot LAN and WiFi, it provides faster response time of gaming experience, when you at different LAN/WiFi environment, Killer software will ask you to make an internet speed test, this will fine tune your LAN/WiFi for smoother and faster online experience.
MSI also got a new software tool called “Dragon Gaming Center”, this tool is also good for hardware monitor and utility launch tool. Also could show the status of Hybrid Power enable or disable.
The ultimate weapon for enthusiast gamers:
The GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS version is extremely powerful, it comes with most of the features that a great gaming notebook could have, 3K IPS panel is really great effect of vision quality, SteelSeries keyboard with SSE is amazing for gamers to play their games smarter, Sound By Dybaudio present really good detail sound quality, Killer Doubleshot is faster for online gaming, of course the GTX880M is awesome for gamer to play Full HD even 3K resolution games, the backlit of Dragon logo and keyboard is really beautiful.
Conclusion:
The overall score I will give this GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition with Super Pack is 95 out of 100, this is really great machine for any hard core gaming or power user usage, I would recommend any one to must-have this notebook if it’s affordable for you!!

Ok either you work for MSI or you changed the settings in 3dmark11. I only scored around 5K with my GT60 2PE 3k. Any idea why I'm scoring 3k below you? Laptop was plugged in btw. Also how can you enter bios settings with this laptop? I suspect that maybe the hybrid gpu thing is affecting my score, and the Pc is probably not fully utilizing the GTX 880M, maybe in bios I can disable the integrated CPU's video card??? Please let me know. Thanks.

MSI GT60 review for music production (former MacBook Pro user)

Due to the upgrade limitations of MBPr (Macbook Pro Retina) I decided to try Windows after 7 years of using OSX. I chose the MSI GT60 over a Mac product by a close Margin and I still have doubts about windows 8.
The GT60
The hardware:
1. The casing - coming from a Mac, this casing is disappointing. It's not cool, sexy or anything. It's "plastiky" and the design looks like something from the late 90s. you're not impressing any chicks with this one and it's nothing I'd take to Starbucks.
2. The Keyboard - Excellent. It has a nice feel and the lights are kinda cool, but don't make up for the ugly design.
3. The Mouse pad - too small and cheap looking. It tries to hang with a MBP mouse, but it's not as responsive and fluid.
4. Connections - I can't think of any other connections I would want.
5. Ram Capacity - Blows away the Mac at 32GB. This comes in handy for music projects loaded with plugins and is one of the major reasons I went for this box over a Mac.
6. Super raid 2 - This is another cool option Apples don't have in their laptops. The ability to add 3 ssds in addition to another storage drive really makes this a lucrative music machine. Loading samples quickly greatly improves workflow.
7. Screen - This screen is good, but vs a retina...well...you know.
8. Optical drive - Mine is ...strange...sometimes it works sometimes it don't. Maybe w firmware update will fix it?
Performance - I loaded a Cubase project that even my Older 12 core Mac Pro had to wrestle with. That Mac Pro had 40GB of ram. Well, this GT60 pass with flying colors and with the most resource hungry plugins loaded it operated at an average of 60% CPU and 10 of the 12 GB of ram. I'm interested to see if more ram may help improve performance and/or reduce CPU usage.
Heat Myth - I read in other forums (and ofcourse ASUS) of the
so called" heating issues with the MSI Laptops. I do believe, by theory the ASUS gaming box may run cooler, but all the jibba jabba of overheating I never experience. The GT60 is not loud and it's not hot.
Overall, I find this to be a cool laptop for music production but if I didn't need all the extra ram or drives I'd probably stick with a MBP. They look way cooler. If MSI had put this hardware inside of an enclosure like that GS70 (but bigger), It would be cool.

While this is a review, let me just comment on a few things....
Part of the reason that half of what you get is possible, is because of how large it is.
You wouldn't be able to get 3 mSATA SSD's if you didn't get a GT60/GT70.
You wouldn't be able to get 32 GB of RAM if you didn't get a GT60/GT70 (actually, I guess the GE60/GE70's can handle that too).
The GT series also has a more beefy video card that requires more cooling than the GE or GS series laptops.
Either way, the GT60 is a great notebook overall. The screen could be better, but it's not bad by any means either. Compared to many other similarly or higher priced notebooks, it's just as good or better IMHO.
The keyboard is actually very nice, and while the backlighting is somewhat gaudy at times, it's nice to be able to see the keys in the dark.
The biggest downfall (personally) is the screen hinge and the back of the screen and how flimsy it is. That's honestly my biggest gripe about the notebook. I always feel or think I'm going to break the screen when I open or close the notebook.
Have you messed with the built in sound card at all? Got any thoughts on that?
