GT70 0NE vs GT70 2OD

So, I honestly can't decide. The 0NE comes with GTX680M, but the 2OD comes with an GTX780M. Also, as far as I know, the 2OD is not avaible in my country (the Netherlands), but the 0NE is. Also, soon I will go on vacation, and I would like to have a high-end laptop before that time.

Does anyone have info if the 2OD is avaible in the Netherlands (or any other country near it like Germany)? I can't seem to find it anywhere, any help would be much appreciated. Please don't tell me to order from America, the taxes and shipping costs way too much.

Also, can I upgrade my 0NE with an GTX780M? And which one of the 2 do you recommend (the 0NE or 2OD)? And is the 780 realy that much better than the 680?

 

The 2OD is not officially released yet, although some people are getting them early. We expect them to be officially released in the next couple of weeks.

From information released so far it appears as though the 780 is somewhere between 25% to 35% better than the 680m.

If you can wait for the 2OD do so, if not the 0NE is a very good laptop as well.

 

Allright man, thanks for the info. I gues I will play the waiting game and see if it will come out before the start of the summer vacation, if it won't I just buy the 0NE. Do you also know if it's going to be released in the EU? This is maybe impossible to know, but well..

 

I can't imagine it not being released somewhere in Europe. Try checking out MSI's website http://msi.com. They should have a list of resellers somewhere. It would be a pretty safe bet to say that any place selling the 0NE will sell the 2OD.

 

Ye I know about the site of MSI and the list of reseller's. But since I thought the laptop was allready released (cus I saw the "owner launge" thread) and couldn't find it on any Dutch resellers sites, I thought it wouldn't be avaible in my country. Again, thanks for the help.

 

Soon (tm) worth the wait imo.

 

You better be right .

 

Nothing official on upgrading a 680M equipped unit to the 780M but studies are underway.

780M is the same Kepler architecture as 680M, but other reports I've seen " claim" that the 770M is up to 55% faster. I imagine colatruck's numbers on the 780M's potential in comparison are more likely accurate.

 

Allright dude, thanks for the info :thumbsup:.
