MSI GT780DXR: Pretty Keyboard, but Everything Else Is Just Average

 

The MSI GT780DXR (let's just call it the GT780) is a monster of a machine, loaded with nearly everything you'll need to play games like a champion. This roomy laptop has a large amount of memory, plenty of hard drive space, and numerous extra features.

Gorgeous colorful, programmable keyboard ; Big, bright screen

Crappy touchpad ; Ugly shell

Assuming you're no design-fiend, the GT780DXR is an all-around solid machine, and the keyboard is so pretty.

MSI GT780 Gaming Laptop Review

 

Portable gaming power has always raised a few questions in my head. Mostly laptops are limited in processor and graphics power. Let alone that the cooling is not as optimised as the desktop variants. Last year at Cebit I already saw some nice...

Looks great.

Noisy under load.

Kitguru says: MSI have created a great gaming machine which is very powerful and packed with quality components. Our sample cooling system struggled a little, and it could get loud.

Great for the first 6 months

 

So I have now owned this laptop for about 3 years. I have had to RMA this laptop in 5 times. 1 of the times they did not fix anything. The last time was 6 months ago and I have yet to send it in because the computer will probably keep breaking and...

High memory, raid HHD, large video card. Worked awesome for the first 6 months

Flimsy case construction, garbage power supply

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Solid laptop, few issues though

 

I clean the surfaces regularly with soft cloth wipes like for phones. Because of that, the laptop still looks brand new after months of use. Only insignificant gripe there is how particles get trapped in the seams. With the right configurations for...

LCD is perfect, keyboard and touchpad are perfect. Bright vibrant image. Fast big laptop. It's more of a conveniently portable computer than a laptop though. It has a graphics-boost button which I still haven't had the need for! Runs Tomb Raider 2013,...

1. Getting the audio drivers tweaked to work properly is impossible, and I still haven't figured it out and am left with a barely noticeable tinny sound when the volume peaks on movies, this happens with both the laptop speakers AND my HDMI TV speakers...

Amazing Laptop

 

Amazingly fast, has a great gaming grade build and specs. I didn't have to spend much time tweaking it and yet the best thing is the single touch overclocking

Very large and very heavy, the power supply alone is huge so it makes it a little akward to carry around in normal laptop bags
