MSI notebook order thread: post your orders here

I would also prefer Germany but stock configurations come with qwertz keyboards.
I would order from US with no hesitation since we have very nice resellers there but +23% customs tax, shipping cost, customs office handling and bad currency conversion rates make this entire adventure not interesting.

Also any warranty repairs/mainetance with eu->usa shipping is just pointless unfortunately.

 

What if you buy it from within your region, and then change out the keyboard?

 

Sure but:

Trusted and recommended reseller list for EU = false

And keyboard probably is pricey, not easy and cheaply available like for my Probook (20-30USD from eBay)

 

Super excited to say that I've had the absolute best experience with HIDevolution! I knew that going straight to @Donald@HIDevolution from the beginning was a good idea . He walked me through the whole process and even offered to help me save money on things that I didn't really need in my build. Such a kind and funny guy to have on our side! Not once did I feel like I was being treated like some money bag for this company to Rip off. You can tell that from the beginning you're going to have a great experience because you're dealing with genuinely good-hearted people who just happen to love computers and laptops.

I'm still awaiting for my laptop to get shipped but I couldn't help but go ahead and write a little pre-review of what I've experienced so far.

I'm glad I took the time to come here and read all the reviews on this company because so far I am not disappointed in the amazing service I have received.

 

Specs of your laptop or it didn't happen

 

Lol!
GPU: 1080
CPU: i7-8750H
Memory:16 GB I'm a little worried I should of got 32gb just for emulation of consoles but I should be fine.

And the laptop it self is a MSI GT63 Titan. :3

Donald told me that you might be able to help me with making my laptop run a lot more smoothly, so I'm glad you commented! Would you be willing to help with that when it gets here? If you're not busy of course!

 

Sure bro, when you get it, just tag me by putting @ Phoenix without the space between the @ sign and my name so I know when you mentioned me.

Meanwhile, feel free to steal my signature including the signature image and edit it to your specs since you are now a part of the MSI Gaming Team

 

@Phoenix. Have a quick question for you if you could start a conversation. Thanks bro

 

Sure man

 

Sorry to be a bother but does anyone know how to add the image to your signature? I copied the link of the image and pasted it where it said to but it doesn't look like it's popping up.


*Update* I figured it out sorry! I'm unaware of how to delete a post, so I'm just gonna leave this update and if anyone want to delete they can. Thanks!

 

@Phoenix hope all is well! My laptop arrived today, so whenever you get some free time I'd love to have you work your magic. Thanks again homie!

 

Hey brother, PM sent

 

@Phoenix Thanks for all the help! It looks like I might be having some thermal issues and you're the only one that I really know on here so I figured I'd ask. I decided to run a few test on Fortnite because it's not that demanding with recommended setting (Maxed Out) and It these are the temps I got for my CPU and GPU. I just didn't know if this was really normal. Seems kinda high to me.

 

Hey bro, this is not the right place to post these kinda things as this is the order thread, it's best to post it in the main MSI subforum or in the
*** The Official MSI GS65 Stealth Owners and Discussions Lounge ***

It's best if you call HIDevolution's Tech support and have them walk you through the steps of undervolting it.

 

Absolutely loving my new GT75! Thermals are incredible and thank you @Donald@HIDevolution for the awesome customer service!

@Phoenix When you have time, I could use that tweaking session.

 

@Phoenix Thanks for taking the time to tweak Windows and walking me through all the programs and changes. Very professional!

@Phoenix
I'll be buying a MSI GP63 8RE 442IN unit from a MSI authorised retailer near me, in about 5 days.



I would like to ask that which tests should i perform
Would these be sufficient?
These→
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Guide-How-to-check-a-new-laptop-for-issues.232476.0.html

Or should i omit a few from them?
And any recommendations about the antivirus, setup, or in general anything?

 

Nice Choice.
As for AV Win 10 includes Win defender. You can try Eset AV if you don't like WD 4.18.x.

 

those tests should be good.

Use ESET Internet Security, it's the lightest and most secure.

Remember to follow this guide:

How to properly install an Antivirus / Security Suite in Windows 10

 

Bought the MSI GP63 8RE 442IN
Will be receiving it on 11th.

 

Just placed my order.

MSI GP63-428 @ Newegg
- Core i7 8750H / GTX 1070 8G / 15.6" 120Hz 94% NTSC TN Panel / 16G Ram / 128G SSD + 1TB HDD

Hopefully the laptop serves me well.

 

A question

Is @Phoenix tweaking session only exclusive to models bought from hidevolution?

If not then,
Please could i ask a bit of your time to tweak my gp63(when it comes) whenever you're free.
Never really tweaked anything from past 2-3 years.

If it is exclusive then may i ask the links for guide for how to do it?

 

Its exclusive to Hidevolution.
You can follow these:
Clean install guide http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/nbr-windows-10-clean-installation-guide.781178/
Tweaks and Fixes http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/windows-10-tweaks-and-fixes-index-post-1.779394/
We all follow same thing. You can use WUMT wrapper from Majorgeeks or MDL forums.
If you want/use UWP apps in future keep XBOX and MS Store app intact for Gaming mode and Store functionality.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Only for HIDevolution Gaming Team Members. I can't afford to do a 4 hour tweaking session for everyone unless you're part of the HIDevolution Gaming Team.
