So far the worst product I have ever purchased...
Out of the box performance with Win 8 is worse than my netbook. Can't even run benchmarks properly with out glitches...if they open at all. This laptop is so slow it is almost unbearable. The ssd install was another trip to hades...almost liked to have never got the bios to recognize it. The bios...what a joke. Two different Win 7 installs and still half the components don't work...hoop after hoop searches for drivers. Utility/driver disc is useless for Win 7. No compatible drivers available for Win 7...Win 8 video driver not recognized by Futuremark. I'm just about to the point of boxing this pos up and putting it on ebay. Utter failure for a laptop. |
Damn, let down. So...is it running latest bios and having this troubles?
|
At this point I would not even trust MSI with a bios update. Think I will just cut my losses and move on. :thumbdown:
|
Sending it back ? Did you contact MSI ?
Seems like it has the hardware to rock and roll if you can get them on point .... I would at least try to talk to them nice of course until it is time to not talk to them nice Best of luck bro, that really blows |
Take 3 deep breaths and count to 10 ...... Jk :laughing:
|
Tbh, I blame most of the problems on the pos OS installed, and the lack of MSI/vendor support. Seeing as how all I really wanted was a Win 7 OS I can see no reason for me to keep it. I can't very well ask MSI to take it back because it won't play nice with 7...don't think they would care what I think about 8.
|
I would send it back to Wallmart .............
No way would I eat that if at all possible .... |
Can't you just return it in store ? You should be able to
Windows update doesn't give you the drivers ? |
Purchased online, not a stocked item in store...not sure what the return policy is atm.
Btw, the "Turbo" overclock function has never worked regardless of OS, Speedstep enabled or disabled. I agree that with the hardware in this laptop it should be a performer, but it is hamstrung by the buggy OS, inability to refresh drivers and poor software support. If I consider another laptop in the future it will likely not be a stock model. I would like to see some bios screens of a Clevo model and personally talk to someone from a vendor such as Xotic PC before buying anything else. They offer all OS combinations including a "no OS" option, so they clearly have their units sorted out when it comes to driver compatibility. EDIT: Just went online to find the return policy and found it conflicting. All info points to no problem by mail, but when I tried to submit a request it kept coming up "item not eligible for return" lol. I seriously doubt that...sent them an email for advice and awaiting reply. ;) |
Finally managed to get 3DMarkVantage to run in Win 8 without glitching. Still no Turbo cpu and MSI video card overclocking utility refuses to open. I have removed all data and this one is going back in the box...leaving my home one way or another. :blush:

His was at stock clocks though, probably has more in the tank :thumbsup:
I typically start the bench and trow the lappy in the freezer while it runs ........... :laughing: |
Good news - Walmart.com replied to my email and said the reason for the return submission error was because the laptop is flagged as hazardous for shipping by mail (battery). Stated I could take it to a store and be processed there...only a fifteen day window so I'm hustling it to the store this morning. :thumbsup:
|
Rape it before taking it back LOL
I know most of the time the turbo only works at the highest clock at one thread apps Have you tried running super pi ? |
Badabing, Badaboom!
http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/q...MSIGT70001.jpg Walmart and Paypal FTW - No questions asked and zero hassle...for some reason they could not credit back to Paypal so I had to accept $100 bills. Ratspit...:taunt: Even got tax back, maybe out $12 when all is said and done. ;) |

LOL. Shame about the laptop.
If you ever do get turbo working let me know how to enable it on a laptop :) Never seen a laptop that went up to advertised speed. |
MSI has a "Turbo" button above the keyboard that when activated is supposed to clock it up to something like 3.3GHz. All it did for me is light up the little red led when I pushed it lol. There is nothing usable in the bios. I will most likely put laptops out of my mind now since I have the Toshiba humming along nicely with the ssd.
