MS-1039 Expected in Early March

firegl v5200 is built from the x1600 architecture. it will perform better in cad/other 3d business programs better than the x1600, but will not game as well.

 

Looks at the MSI notebook site..

MS-1039 ...
Breathtaking Performance and True Mobility Coming Soon!

Gaaaa!!!! ***Gun shots***

I can believe the MS-1039 wont be here until May!!!!!!!

Gaaaa!!!! ***Gun shots***

 

I think you'll do fine. The only thing I would concider would be adding another gig of RAM for 2 gig total. I've heard that CAD programs can be RAM intensive, but I honasty don't do anything in CAD so I could be off.

 

This thread will get 25,000 views before this thing actually comes out. By the time it comes out it will already be (almost) outdated by an even better laptop with 939 (X2 cores) and better video card. :nvidia:, :ati:


And to think, this thread was meant for "Early March"


Sometimes I hate technology

 

Yeah, and 500 posts all screaming "IS IT HERE YET?"

 

I don't know why MSI hasn't released this laptop yet. I would've bought this laptop if it had been released in March. Now I'm resigned to get the Asus W3J.

 

I am also very close to cancelling my order and getting some other laptop. I was really looking forward to getting this, but I don't think it's worth the wait.

 

There are maybe several factors for the delay, but what do you think when AMD introduces dual core X2 in July? It is almost May now. So, if MSI releases this barebone for single core, consumers will evaluate their choices whether they buy it or wait for the next X2. I think MSI does not have a good marketing strategy.

 

you think they will do it that date because they said that .... youre kidding I hope

Its ALWAYS a delay betwen THE date and the exact date

 

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..............the MSI-1039 is coming out...........................................NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JK, couldn't help myself again.

 

That, I agree !

...couple more days , and I will maybe think buy one from different companie


Someone have an idea ?

64 bit, 15.4 and a good GC (256) ?

 

just spoke to a reseller in england and they said they wouldnt have it for another 2 weeks minimum over here. :\

 

I've been thinking about getting an MSI-1039, I know that its not out, but I will be buying in middle june. Do you guys think it will be out by then, and no I will not be waiting for x2

Looks like a great computer, what model is this based off of?

 

btw, is the audigy z2 sound card in the customization needed for gaming? Or can it use the "stock" one.

 

Unless you're trying to hook it up to a home based 7.1 THX sound system the stock sound should do.

It's pretty much a refresh of the MSI-1029, just has the X1600 instead of the X700. That and a lot of cosmetic changes.

 

Maybe someone just misread the date. Early MAR could have meant early MAY

Buy the way, anyone know if the 6 cell will be the biggest battery available, or will one of their earlier 9 cells work?

 

I believe one of the resellers is planning on testing to see if the 9-cell will work.

I have been looking forward to the ms 1039 but Im sorry to say im going with the e1705 . I couldnt help it, 7800 nvidia go and a duo core with a beautiful 17 ultrasharp screen. Im ordering it today because i got a 40 percent off coupon from a friend. It expires tommorow and when you get a 40 percent coupon from a friend you gotta use it.

 

MS-1039's with the WXGA screen arrived in the states today...

 

YES!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great news!!!

(**sings** Happy Happy Joy Joy)

Edit: does this mean the WSXGA isn't here yet?
any idea when the WSXGA will be here?

Thanks again unleaded.

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Unleaded,

That's just mean.

 

What's mean?

 

You teasing them after they all went and bought Dells.

 

http://www.rkcomputer.net/store/ind...action/category/previd/featured/prevstart/12/

available 05/05

I can smell it now

 

The WXGA is shipping now, for those interested. There is no ETA yet on the WSXGA. I would prefer the actual users post reviews, but I can put up pictures and initial impressions if anyone cares.

 

If you could post a quick review that would be great as i have to decide in the next few days.

 

I would love to see some better images and get first impressions. Also maybe you can verify the audio connections it looks like there are 3 ports. Is one line-in?

 

Please CS,

when you post pictures please post a picture of the top of the laptop.

yes, i want to see the cool light up badge lol

I would love to hear some reviews ASAP even if its from CoffeeShark and/or Unleaded.

FINALY THE DAY AS COME!!!!!

 

And not posting a "quickie" review and pics isn't cruel?

 

Rofl!!!

it's totally cruel.

 

I know but I just had to say it.

 

****..... I have to wait again

Hope we will see a review soon

And then I'll buy it



Hey I didnt say **** , I said shoot

 

Someone pinch me, is this true it's out now????

 

Sorry

It will be a couple days before i get to the review, that's why I was hoping someone else could get to it. Probably Thursday or Friday for pics and testing, there are still some issues to check out before a clean bill of health can be given (checking for heat issues, build quality, keyboard responsiveness, etc). MSI has been getting better and better with each notebook release, hopefully that will continue. If the 1039 beats the 1036 in quality and build, it will be quite a system.

Maybe Unleaded or one of the other vendors will have some stuff up before then, either way, you should be getting pics somewhere online, probably see them here in the forum by tomorrow or Thursday.

 

Thanks CS,
I will be awake hitting the F5 key until then

 

Could we at least have the weight confirmed?

Thanks!

 

Geez, they don't want much do they I am curious about the 9-cell battery option.

 

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me Pharoke,
how long is the battery life?

 

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

and how much longer does the 9 cell last over the 6 cell... XD

 

Well if the 9-cell works I remember Coffee saying the 9-Cell in the 1036 lasted 3hrs 20mins doing web surfing and office tasks, so I can only imagine it would get better time on a smaller screen and more efficient graphics card.

 

PICS PLEASE... Unleaded Cmon.... Pretty Please...

 

No 9 cell for the 1039 right now, no compatibility with the other units battery packs, stuck with the 6 cell for now.

 

Ugh, lets hope that the 6-cell surprises us.

 

Keep in mind the 1039 6cell is a 4800mah battery, equivalent to most 8cell ratings, and is the only important measurement. For instance, the 1029 has an 8cell at 4400mah and gets anywhere from 2-3 hours on battery.

 

Oh, didn't see that it was a 4800mah battery. This may be better than first expected.

 

So whats the deal-io...someone re-cap for me

 

I think I was the first one in this forum to point that the battery in the 1039 was bigger then the conventional ones and because of that i hope it can lasts 3.5 hours.

By the logics this battery should last ~10% more than another 6 cell.

My dell inspiron 120 with 6 cell lasts 2 hours......
