MSI unveils two new laptops

MSI has revealed two new models, the CX420 and CR420. The mobile laptops are lightweight devices, powered by the latest 2010 Intel processors from the Core i series, and boast design features that complement their performance capabilities with an increased comfort, style and user enjoyment.

The newcomers are based on Intel Core i3 or Core i5 central processors, use up to 4GB of RAM and have hard drives with storage capacities of 250GB, 320GB or 500GB. The CX420 even boasts advanced graphics capabilities provided by the ATi Radeon HD5470 discrete graphics card with 1GB DDR3. In addition, the two devices’ connectivity and I/O options include Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, D-Sub, a six-cell battery, two speakers and a 1.3-megapixel webcam.

Among the aforementioned design upsides of the products are a scratch-resistant Cross-Hatch Color Film Print (CFP) patterning on the lid and palm-rest area and a Chiclet keyboard. The case of the laptops also uses MSI’s “wedge” design, which makes the notebook slimmer and lighter (less than 2.2 kg). Even the touchpad utilizes full-textured cross-hatch CFP for a maximum user enjoyment.

The CX420 and the CR420 14-inch notebook personal computers will be running Windows 7 Home Premium, but have not yet been given price tags or a release date.
