Pagsusuri ng MSI GT660

Listen to article

Parang maraming pagsisikap ang MSI sa GT660 -- hindi lang sa mga hardware specifications kundi pati na rin sa disenyo at audio system. Basahin ang buong review ng MSI GT660 pagkatapos ng jump at tingnan kung worth it ba ang presyong Php110,000.

Buksan ang takip at makikita mo ang isang extended keyboard na may alpha-numeric keypad sa kanang gilid. Magandang dagdag ito, ngunit kung ikaw ay regular na gumagamit ng laptop, nakakalito ang orientation kaya madalas kang magkamali ng mga pindutan kapag nag-type. Kailangan ng ilang oras upang makasanayan ang karagdagang mga pindutan at matutunan kung saan nasa loob ang Enter button.

Ang mga chiclet-type na pindutan ay angkop sa sukat na may espesyal na kulay na label sa mga gaming na pindutan (asdw) at sa mga arrow na pindutan.

Kahit na ito ay glossy black sa labas, rough at textured naman sa loob -- ang palm rest ay may honeycomb finish at ang trackpad ay parang sand-paper at medyo flushed sa kaliwa. Ang left at right click buttons ay hindi hiwalay kundi hugis na nakadisenyo upang magkakaiba ang dalawa.

Sa itaas ng keyboard ay may mga light indicator na may power button sa gitna. Sa magkabilang gilid ay dalawang malalaking stereo speaker na pinapatakbo ng Dynaudio. Ang mga speaker ay nakaka-impresyon, nagbibigay ng maayos na antas ng tunog upang masiyahan ang pagtitingin sa pelikula kahit mula sa layo. Ang kalidad ng audio ay nasa pagitan ng maganda hanggang napakaganda, may matibay at malalim na bass, at malamang itong pinakamagandang speaker ng laptop na aking sinubukan hanggang ngayon.

Ang MSI GT660 ay pinapatakbo ng Intel's Core i7 720QM na may 4 cores at 8 threads, na tumatakbo sa isang base clock speed na 1.6GHz para sa bawat core ngunit maaaring boost hanggang 2.8GHz. Ang chip na ito ay isa sa mga pinakamalakas na processor na nakapagpasok sa isang laptop.

Kasama nito ang isang nVidia GeForce GTX 285M na may 1GB GDDR3 VRAM, 6GB ng DDR3 memory at makakakuha ka ng isang malakas na gaming machine. Ang GT660 ay din ang unang notebook na nakita ko na may dalawang (2) hard disk drives -- mayroon itong dalawang 500GB HDD para sa kabuuang 1 terabyte (magiging interesting kung kaya nitong gawin ang Raid 0/1 dito). Ang buong laptop specs ay nakapost dito.

Windows Experience Index ay nagbigay ng base score na 5.9 dahil sa HDD, ngunit ang CPU ay nakakuha ng sub-score na 7.0 at ang graphics ay may sub-score na 6.9. Ipinost PassMark performance test dito pero ang WEI ay sapat na para ikumpara sa iyong sariling rig.

Gayunman, ang buhay ng baterya ay nakararanasan ng pagbagsak dahil sa lahat ng pangangailangan sa kuryente. Kahit na may mataas-kapasyahang 9-cell (7800mAh) Li-Ion battery, ang notebook ay tumatagal lamang ng higit pa sa 2 oras sa isang buong pag-charge (ayon sa BatteryBar sa screenshot sa itaas).

Bilang desktop replacement at gaming rig, akala ko'y laging ikakabit mo ang notebook na ito sa outlet kaya hindi malaking isyu ang buhay ng baterya para sa laptop sa kategoryang ito, bagama't napapahalagahan ko ang pagsisikap ng MSI na maglagay ng 9-cell battery dito.

Para maging mas nakaka-interesante, in-adjust ng MSI ang ilang pulang ilaw sa paligid ng notebook upang mukhang mas matapang (sa harap at gilid pati na rin sa mga gilid ng takip) pero nalimutan itong maglagay ng keyboard na may backlight.

Ang MSI GT660 ay may premium na presyo ng Php109,990 ngunit ang mga specs ng gaming rig na ito ay napakaimpresyong sapat upang bahagyang ipagtibay ang halaga nito. Hindi ito karaniwang multimedia notebook at ang ganitong uri ng kombinasyon ay mahirap makahanap.

It seems that AMD prefer Havok even though Nvidia made Phys
– X an open standard in March 2008. It carries a
ranking of suitable for players 13 and up. The problem
is, when you rush to complete a level, you open yourself up to the problems noted
in the first examination of difficulty. Plantronics Game – Com 780
Surround Sound PC Gaming Headset – The Game – Com 780 from Plantronics is an ultra comfortable headset that puts out quality 7.

Err, MSI has been producing quality laptops for several years now. Cnet reviews called MSI’s previous generation of gaming laptops as *the* gaming laptops to get.

Alienware, though built like a tank and has a lot of sex appeal, is overpriced. MSI has a better price/performance ratio.

I don’t think the specs can justify the outrageous price. For 110k, you can book a roundtrip ticket to the US (off season) and buy an MSI GX740 or an Asus G73, which are superior in many ways to the GT660. High-end laptops here in the Philippines are terribly overpriced.

A cheaper way to get a gaming laptop is to order them online, ship to a relative, and have your relative ship it to you. You will pay maybe 100-150USD for shipping, but you’ll easily save 30,000Php.

By the way, I’m pretty sure the i7-720QM tops at 1.73ghz running with 3-4 cores, 2.4ghz with 2 cores, and 2.8ghz with one.

@noel nuguid: i think crysis warhead will run great on this one. it has slightly better specs than my g60jx which runs crysis in high settings smoothly.

@sylv3rblade: very true. got my g60jx at bestbuy last may for $999.99 and now the price has dropped to $849.99.

actually they would feel bad but not because of the new model… they’ll feel bad because the price has dropped :)

Not a problem.. :)

The best advice that I can give to people who are buying laptops/computers that have the budget is to buy the highest specs in the market this way.. they wont feel bad if after a month or two a new model is released.

I don’t have problems with MSI, in fact I like them a a lot. Despite of being a beast, I’m not keen on buying a Gaming Laptop that will only last me 2-3 years.

Don’t mind that guy. Grammar Nazis only care what’s on the skin but not what’s on the inside.

Sup Sir Yuga!

Nice review sir!

Offtopic question:

What do you think of Sony Vaio E-series VPCEA21EG/BI?

here’s the link of the specs and stuff:

http://www.sony.com.ph/product/vpcea21eg

it runs on Intel® Pentium® Processor P6000 (1.86GHz) CPU, do you think this is worth it? Is this CPU good for MMORPG type of games? Thanks a lot.

For a desktop replacement (2 hour battery) the resolution is way too low. Its hard to understand the thinking. Giving a good GPU is for gaming, but no gamer would ever game on such a low resolution.

It sure it pricey when you compare it to other msi notebook but cheaper than any alienware and even a mac book pro with similar specs.

ive been waiting for this, same as a customized alienware but way more affordable, and id rather pay for an msi prod than a dell prod. I hope they put led lit keypads. 100k even up to 150 for this is justifisable for a notebook.
