Quality of GX630: Honestly. do u believe this laptop has a long life span?
1341536
The quality of the GX 620 and GX 630 is the same. On rare occasions items show up defective it happens in ALL products, you cannot expect 100% of anything to work, including vehicles furniture and the people around you. But if you are wondering overall quality of MSI made laptops it is very high end compared to most companies, I have had mine for about half a year now and it runs amazingly with equal/more power than laptops that cost 3x as much.

So far it has been a great laptop, I preferred Windows 7 and it was configured with this version. I had a HP laptop and this one seems solid, besides the HP motherboard died after about a year and a key broke. It's fast, I'm not a gamer so if this is your main hobby I have no idea what it will do.

This laptop is works great with programs like photoshop, running smoothly even when I use tons of high resolution layers. I have not had any experience with video editing but I do not foresee it being problematic. It has the i7 processor which is something that would be very helpful for video editing and also has the very nice GTX760 graphics card, which though not the best out there, is still not shabby and I would expect it to be at least sufficient for video editing. It also has two slots for RAM so if the 8 GB doesn't end up being enough you can replace the RAM it comes with to get up to 32 GB of RAM.

I have two D830 units and they are the best laptops I've ever owned. I bought them used (about 4 years old). They are built sturdy, are fast, and there's really nothing I don't like about them. They are kind of heavy but to me, that feels like quality. The keyboards are much better than the new stuff out there too. They only have 2g of ram, which may not be enough for very graphic and computing intense needs. I use them for my income tax software, surfing the net, listening to music, reading Kindle PC books, journaling, etc. For the price I think they are a Best Buy. I put an SSD in one of them and it is even faster than before. Five stars from my perspective. I have two D830 units and they are the best laptops I've ever owned.

@Ron, Alienware systems, in my experience are built to very high standards. The frame is solid and it's rather heavy. I had an M14 about 6 years ago and my Seagate HDD failed. The Tech Support helped me to figure out the problem and replaced the drive no questions. They were very knowledgable and nice. I think when considering a purchase like this, it's much more than just a piece of equipment. The machine is well built and quite stable and support is top notch. I'm not a gamer but I have great confidence in the quality and have no doubt that this system will perform at or above expectations. I do however suggest an extended life battery or backup if you will be without an outlet for &gt;3 hours. So far, that's my only real complaint with this system.

The problem with laptop has always been the same. "How long will this last...?" Not being able to change any hardware (other than RAM and/or Storage) if you want to buy a gaming laptop, I always thought you better buy the best hardware that is out. As far as I've checked, this laptop has the best hardware as a stock computer. From this, you go to SLI and custom hardware laptops that go to the 4K+ area.As they said before, with technology is kinda hard to predict, but I believe you will be good with this hardware for 3~5 years before this GPU falls below "minimum requirements".

It has the power to run the games fine and on high graphics settings. But if you're intending to use it for long periods of time, 3-4 hours settings, I'd go for something else. The problem I've been having with this model is the power port becomes overly heated and has become disconnected from the motherboard. I've had to repair it twice.

Th laptop is fast runs fairly cool under full load considering its a laptop, never got concerned about the temp. Screen quality was fine too. All this considered i sent it back because the overall build quality felt very poor and it was just a lot bigger then i was willing to put up with.

I have no problems with mine. In fact I have 3 Asus laptops (me and my two kids). This G75VW-DS73-3D is my daughter's and she has had it for 8 months. No problems with hers booting up. I hear others have the boot up problem like you do. None of mine have the problem, however, and they all work just fine. The other 2 I have are from the exact same family, the G75VW-AS71 and the G75VW-DS72.

no, but it's actually pretty good is an excellent laptop, I have not had any problems so far.

No, me personally I've owned this laptop for about a year now, and haven't had any problems. If you do, you can send it back to Asus and they have amazing customer service imo.

Mr. Johnson . . . I'm about to buy the HX-1 but now I'm wondering if you think a Powerbook G-4 will have fewer issues like the ones described above. Fewer issues-- but maybe more? Uh-oh!Looking forward to your reply!

Your wish for an answer from me, has arrived to a costumer that bought one new , but wasn't intended for my personal use , I bought it for my granddaughter , so I am sorry I can't give my opinion about this product, but I bought it by reference as being the old IBM and new LENOVO , I think quality is there no matter what.
