UPDATE

MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R9 390 GAMING 8G

Pros: Great price, looks good, performs well.

Cons: None at this point, save perhaps the weight/size and a bit of noise under load.

Overall Review: I had written a review earlier with a concern on the card's drivers not being able to handle a Cintiq monitor. Turns out it was a '1 meter problem', as the VGA/DVI switch on the Cintiq was inadvertently switched to 'VGA' instead of 'DVI' (yes, I can admit my mistakes). Tried to update the original review but only found this mechanism. The new drivers actually allow the switch over between monitors better than before. The card is big/heavy especially with the backplate but is solidly built. The only thing I can't explain when I was having Cintiq setup problems is why, with the Cintiq switch on 'VGA', I was still able to see the bootup ASUS logo as well as the Win7 logo.

Great laptop

Pros: - Much thinner than my outgoing unit (MSI GT72 Dominator), with the same screen real estate. - While its case and materials are more austere than my old unit, everything feels solid/well-assembled. - Haven't experienced any overheating yet as some users are saying. - While the screen is officially rated at 45% NTSC, I'm quite happy with it thus far.

Cons: - At this point, it seems the battery life isn't as good as my previous unit but it's way too soon to tell for sure. - Also, I wish it had dedicated page up/page down buttons as opposed to having to press the 'Fn' button and some other key to do this. Apart from that no really big downsides so far. We'll see how it performs overall with time.

Overall Review: Bought this unit late last week to replace my old MSI GT72 Dominator I got more than 5 years ago as one of its hinge and one of its fans were on their way out. Newegg shipped the new laptop stupid fast and I got it about 24 hours after placing the order. Really impressed with that. Keyboard feel is fine.

As advertised.

Pros: - Easy to install - Fast

Cons: None, save maybe for the drive not being automatically recognized by Win10. Had to use some freeware to get it going.

Overall Review: Unlike another marketplace seller's product, this one actually showed up at my doorstep. Super fast too.

Great card!

Pros: - Good performance. - Low operating temps. - Zero issue install (I did use DDU).

Cons: - Only one thing: some coil whine. If it wasn't for that, it'd be a 5-egg review.

Overall Review: My coil whine is very minimal and mostly (90%) goes away after the PC's been 'on' for 5-ish minutes. If you play with headphones or with loud settings, you won't notice. Also realized that putting a tiny bit of pressure on the card makes it go away. Would consider placing a foam block in but again, the coil whine is very minimal for me so I'll just leave things as is. Will not RMA the card over this.

Great mobo

Pros: - Look great. - LEDs are a cute touch if you're into that kind of bling - Excellent mobo/CPU price combo

Cons: Was building a new system from scratch. Mobo saw the new SSD but didn't see the DVD drive with the Win10 install disc. Turns out the default BIOS settings didn't recognize the DVD burner but making that change solved the issue. I guess it's an "id10T" error code on my part.
