My review:-
I have been with this babe for 2 months now and i don't regret buying this over Dell XPS M1730. Ok you may think i am a fool but trust you shall belive me.
As i the stated in the config this babe is a mean machine. Its meant for gamers only who like to keep things lite but not loose any performance.
The Vista Index rating is 5.2(Who Cares)
I have played Crysis, Crysis Warhead at meduim Settings Currently Playing Burnout Paradise and HAWX @ High!
This notebook has a good cooling solution too but still you will feel the heat on ur pad but not much to stop u from playing!
This notebook comes with an Eco mode as it is (Centrino 2).
When ur plugged in u can click Turbo and enjoy overclocking on the go. It reaches around 2300 Hz from 1998 Hz.
While in Battery mode there are modes like Gaming mode, Movie mode, Presentation mode, Office mode, and Turbo Battery mode.
The lowest is 1700 Mhz save power.
The Battery life is good enough can stand upto 3 hrs in Turbo battery mode. Actually can stand well I started playing Burnout when i had 21 % battery left and i played almost 20- 25 mins
Comparing with Dell XPS M1730 OHH!
Dell is rated 5.0 by vista ok thast is due to bad Memory
Processor:-5.7
Memory:-5.0
Graphics-5.9
Gaming Graphics:-5.6
HDD:-5.4
MSi GX400
Rated 5.2
Processor:-5.2
Memory:-5.9
Graphics-5.9
Gaming Graphics:-5.5
HDD:-5.4
So got my point ok i agree dell is an sli model but less games support that tech plus some games don't hav an increase in performance if there any it's bout 20-40% max
Plus it is bulky weighs 3.5 KG+ while GX400 weighs 2.2 Kg Only.
Pricing
MSi Gx400 costs 63000 Rs including tax
while XPS cost 1.29 Lac w/o tax (I would buy an MSi notebook and build an gaming rig from that price LOLZ)
Cons
The models avialable in India are without O.S(Its an Pros to me)
as i save 10 K plus, if they give it would be 32 bit Vista Home Premium.
But if not go for an 64 bit system as it is build for it.
How do i get this babe?
you could contact the dealers Priya Ltd/ Topnotch.
They are not keen much the make you wait for pricing etc.
Or you may contact Mr. Ajay Bajaj, Sainath associates, Kartar mansion 2, Off Lamington road,Opp Police Station,
Mobile no:-9223291871
If he asks who told u bout this notebook/contact say Kaustubh Surve.
There is also another series of this laptop launched i guess GX600 the only difference is it has 512 Mb 9600M GT DDR3 GFX card and the pricing is around 65000Rs not sure.
