GX640 Owners - Post Your Temps!

[catacylsm]

While i agree with some extent, i dont think MSI will cause too much hassle.

I agree with Aintz. I currently own a GX640, Envy 15, and Asus G60VX. I haven't decided which one I'll be keeping (probably none). The MSI definitely has the worst build quality. It also heats up more than the Asus (the GPU temps are about the same, but the chasis heats up more than the Asus.

Heat is one of my major concerns as I like to use the LAPtop in my LAP. So far, none of them fits the bill. I will be getting the Acer 4820T/5820T when they come out. If those don't pull through on heat management though, I may just settle for a Acer 5740G or go big and get the G73Jh. There are rumors of a G53 as well so I may hold out for that too.

Basically, I have not found a lightweight gaming laptop that I can game in my lap.

Its strange that, but then i can also vouch for you guys, the hardwares too much for the cooling to handle on your lap (Where as the 725 works like a beast!) .

Well, if you say that gaming = high-end laptop card / midrange desktop card at the least, and laptop = use on your lap, then the ASUS G73 is basically the only gaming laptop there is, and it's far from lightweight.

Everything else is a gaming notebook, a non-gaming laptop, or a non-gaming notebook

Wise words are wise.

Note: A prime example of something that is neither a laptop nor for gaming is the Core i7 MacBook Pro.

i had a g51jx for around a month, and i dont think the build was any better than this. the keyboard of this is the only thing i see that could be better

The laptop feels sturdy enough for me, and in the end I'm happier with the year of accidental damage coverage than with assumptions about build quality that no-one will actually attempt to verify by intentionally dropping their laptops...

MSI and ASUS have very nice warranties, and to me that's worth as much as build quality.

When you guys talk about flex, and crappy build quality, can you guys compare that to the "squishyness" of a Nintendo DS Lite (1st generation Lite, the one with glossy exterior, not the new crappy one with matte sh*tty exterior), which is jsut about as durable as a macbook's exterior.

Did you see that the core i7 for the MBP is a i7 620? Pretty hilarious, there is no way to get a quad core for the MBP, it's dual core i5 or dual core i7. Hilarious, no idea why those mac heads got so excited for this supposed upgrade. The GPU still sucks also...
