The distinctive design of the MSI GX740 notebook it’s not about style, sophistication and elegance – it is about power, speed and excitement.

His thick red interior and retro-futuristic design, you can immediately know that the MSI GX740 is a gaming-Machin, a powerful and mighty to do so.

The full-size keyboard has a numeric keypad with cursor keys and the Gamer’s home keys (W, A, S and D, marked) in red. Under the MSI GX740-keyboard sits a rather standard two-button touchpad, but also we have found what appears to be a kind of radiator grille and dashboard combo sporting looks that somehow manages to strike a balance between futuristic sci-fi and 50s Americana will strike.

The grid includes two of the MSI GX740 Notebook five speakers, the rest of which a 5.1 surround-sound style audio system with a subwoofer. The dashboard is actually offering a touch-sensitive control panel with illuminated icons quick access to some useful functions.

You get Media transport controls, plus on off switch for the WiFi, Bluetooth and webcam as well as an “Eco” button that cycles through five different power management capable of different usage scenarios. The MSI GX740’s “cinema” pro “mode supports both the displayed image and the sound when watching videos, while the final control is user programmable.

The activation of these checks results in a large and attractive icon popping up on the MSI GX740-screen to make it clear exactly what you’re doing.

Gaming of course requires a lot of computing power, and the MSI GX740 comes with a 2.27GHz Intel Core i5-M430. Although a few found slower than the version in the Acer Aspire 8942G-526G64Bi and MacBook Pro laptops, and without the quad-core performance of HP Envy 15, which is still a very fast processor, the GX740 to 104 points in WorldBench 6 provide help.

The GMSI GX740 secret weapon, however, is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 with 1GB of video RAM, which is by far the fastest graphics processor of the group, against his nearest rival of 10fps in our “very high quality Crysis test at 1366 x 768 pixels .

Unfortunately, the MSI GX740 notebook is also very power-hungry, just scratching at the two hour mark on Mobile Mark 2007 (129 minutes, 126 minutes for performance settings). This is about 20 minutes behind the short-lived HP Envy 15, although with a large 85Wh battery, equipped by the back of the case stands out.

At first glance, the MSI X600-031US Slim is fascinating. At 4.6 pounds with a 5400 mA battery gives the X600-031US a truly full-size keyboard (including a separate numeric keypad) and a 15.6-inch, 1366 x 768-pixel screen with an ATI Mobility Radeon 4330 powered discrete graphics chip. Overall, that sounds like a pretty great combination, right? Well, there are a few warts.

An aircraft of this great sporting Intel’s Core 2 Solo U3500 low-power processor would be one of these curiosities. This is a CPU would typically be found in an ultralight laptop, MSI X340 is like your own. And while the X600-031US is sporting a discrete graphics chip – something that certainly helps visual quality on DVDs – the actual pixel resolution is not more than those on the smaller, lighter X340.

Performance is only what you expect for a single-core low-voltage U3500: In WorldBench 6, the X600-031USnotched a score of 62. This is actually better than the X340, but there are still traces of the Aspire Time Line, which ships with a dual-core processor.

One thing the X600-031US no more or less together with other general-purpose class machines: battery life. It takes 3 hours, 50 minutes in lab tests – about 20 minutes below the average. OK, so we have come out of the gate were two strikes. On some better news.

When running light office and web applications, the system offers very good response, given the limited CPU resources. We have started some pretty serious lag when scrolling through a large PDF file while Firefox 5.3 was opened with a dozen tabs to see run. Running standard office applications such as Word or Excel, ran well. And really, if you’re buying the X600-031US thinking, is what you’ll probably use it for, anyway are. Think of it as a netbook with privileges.

Wi-Fi performance was good for a laptop in this class. Even complex web pages load quickly, and we saw no significant problems in our environment 802.11n.

The X600-031US offers a fairly typical set of expansion ports. It has three USB 2.0 ports, although one of them has double-duty as a combo eSATA port – very handy for connecting external hard drives with eSATA support. The memory card slot is SD cards is limited (including the higher capacity SDHC cards) and MMC cards, Sony Memory Stick not handle it. The two dedicated USB ports, the memory card slot and audio input and output jacks live on the right side of the device, while the eSATA Combo USB port, HDMI output, VGA port and Ethernet jack on the left . The back has no ports.

Video performance is better than many notebooks in this class, probably because of the ATI Mobility HD 4330 GPU. DVD visual quality was excellent, although the screen itself offered limited viewing angle. We used the external USB DVD drive, part of the Serenity, Lord of the Rings to be seen: The Return of the King and the Raiders of the Lost Ark DVD upscaling looked closely, and we found no artifacts. Audio was good enough, but you are better off with a good headset. Photos also looked pretty sharp. MSI has a lean supply, external USB DVD burner, USB-powered’s – but by sliding the weight last five pounds, and the drive requires two USB ports – one for data, one for power.

At the end of the MSI X600-031US suffers from a bit of confusion of the platform. Is it an ultralight? The performance is about on par with systems in this class, though the life of the battery can not compare. Is it a thin and light? Well, it is thin, while the discrete graphics chip and with a large screen. But performance will suffer along with some other systems in its weight and price class. What does have the MSI model, because it is: an elegant form factor and full-size keyboard with number pad. If you do a lot of time typing and data entry, thereby spending, the MSI fit the bill. But we want a CPU or Hitachi in a lighter package to see. Pick one.

The MSI U230-040US Wind12 ($ 483, as August, 2010) offers the power of an ultraportable in the chassis of a netbook. But poor battery life will be a strong contender in a lame duck.

3.3 kg and equipped with a 12-inch screen, MSI U230-040US Wind12 is big for a netbook. It runs on a 1.6 GHz Athlon X2 Dual-Core Neo-processor, 2 GB RAM carries, has a spacious 320 GB hard drive and uses Windows 7 Home Premium. It has a mark of 56 in our World Bench 6 test suite, much better than the flood of scores in the mid 30’s we have used to see netbooks are earned. (For example, the reigning king netbook, the Toshiba NB205 mini-N310 strolled a mark of 36.) However, it is not in the same league with ultra portables in performance. (At the top of the ultraportable heap is currently the Alienware M11x overclocked, the zoomed to a score of 77.

The Wind12 U230-040US provides aesthetic, too. Its simple, glossy black shell is understated elegance – but also serves as a fingerprint magnet. The netbook features a brilliant 12.1-inch screen with an HD-friendly resolution of 1366 by 768, although its display quality is a mixed bag.

Perspective, is glare in order, and the display, is under typical fluorescent lighting, but just not an option in the open. Even though colors sometimes looked muted Reproduction in whole was good. I noticed a fair amount of motion blur in video playback and streaming performance was lackluster – but par for the course for a netbook.

Audio performance was mediocre, with tinny media playback. The machine has been declared to, but its sound quality dips as satisfactory at higher decibel shock. The performance of the 1.3-megapixel webcam is also less than stellar, test footage I shot tends to look more grainy.

One advantage of being in the larger end of the spectrum is the netbook space with a comfortable keyboard. The U230-040US Wind12 the buttons are large and spacious, with very little time to go to the button presses, which makes for error-free typing. Although it lacks special media keys, offers the netbook generic volume controls and accessories-function toggle with shortcuts.

The touchpad, however, was indeed smooth and react accordingly, disappointing. His small, stiff buttons flush with the chassis, and I often mashed potatoes with a finger against the Netbook under in trying to mouse Abou. In addition, lack the touch pad scroll bar functionality left – and on a Web page scroll bar or arrow keys for navigation at lower resolutions can be maddening.

The U230-040US is Wind12 connectivity options are solid, but unspectacular: a HDMI port, three USB ports, a four-into-one card reader, Gigabit Ethernet port and a legacy VGA port. You also get Bluetooth and 802.11b/g/n wireless.

The Wind12 U230-040US has to want a lot, but its battery life – 3 hours, 48 minutes in our tests – is a big disadvantage.

MSI has announced a new laptop, the X-Slim X350. CULV This laptop is light and ultraportable, promising long battery life.

The 13.4-inch X350 is very easy to carry, weighing in at only 3.31lbs and reach a battery life of up to 9 hours, but not sacrificing the full power to the lightweight frame and durability. It is a display with LED-backlit 1366 x function 768, and it will be a CULV Intel Core 2 Duo CPU power. The device is being used on sports 2GB of RAM and graphics are handled by Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics. It is HDMI (VGA optional ), as well as Bluetooth, WiFi, a card reader and USB ports. An external optical drive is also optional.

Pricing and availability are not yet known.

MSI today announced another mid-sized model on his X-Slim ultraportables. An upgrade of the X410, X430, double-up on the processor core and uses the Neo Athlon X2. There used Radeon HD 3200 graphics card with HDMI output, but should be a lower burden comes with Windows 7 Home Premium instead of Vista face.

The 14-inch, 1366×768 display will be preserved, as is the 2GB of RAM, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and webcam. Storage varies between 320 GB and 500 GB depending on the exact configuration. As with most of its publications, MSI has not given an estimate or a ship date, although most X-Slims creating the U.S., and final release for more details.

The new 12.1 “notebook from MSI offers specifications and prices, to search for something just a bit more perfectly on a netbook.

The MSI-L2100-036US laptop will feature a 1.6 GHz AMD Athlon Neo MV-40, 2GB RAM and a 250GB HDD. The graphics will be powered by a disappointing ATI Radeon X1250 with current.

The resolution will be 1366 x 768, and you will 802.11b/g/n, 3USB ports that have a multi-card reader, audio in out and VGA and HDMI connectivity. There the scales at 3.2lbs, and currently sells for $ 459.99 with Windows 7.

Bring on the Windows 7 netbooks, or in this case, not netbooks. The 12.1-inch MSI Wind12 U230, which appeared on the MSI’s web site, looks like a netbook, feels like a Netbook with 2.9 kilograms and has the same 160GB hard drive. But it promises more powerful performance. It runs Windows 7 Home Premium, as opposed to the slimmed down Starter Edition, and packs AMD Athlon X2 Neo-platform which has a higher performance than Atom delivers punch (but shorter battery life battery).

In addition to a processor that is faster than a netbook (but weaker than a dual-core Intel ULV system), it promises stunning graphics performance for the screen size, thanks to a built-in ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. In fact, the notebook an HDMI port for output of HD content is (the screen itself has a resolution of 1366 x 768). We look forward not only the performance of the system graphics card, but what kind of game you can handle it to see how smoothly and it plays 720p video clips.

Again, the compromise for this neo-based system is likely the battery life.
