MSI Unleashes Three Gaming Notebooks For the US

A few more gaming notebooks from MSI have just hit America and there's three different sizes. There's the 4-inch  FX400-063US and FX400-062US along with the 15.6-inch FX603 and the 17-inch FX700. The first 14-inch model (063US) sports an Intel Core i3 2.53GHz CPU, USB 2.0 ports, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD, and a mid-end GeForce GT 325M GPU. The other model (062US) packs the same internals but upgrades the CPU to a speedier Core i5 2.66GHz model.

The 15.6-inch and the 17-inch models are pretty much identical to each other. They both pack an Intel Core i5 2.6GHz CPU, GeForce GT 425M graphics, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD, and two USB 3.0 ports. They're all clearly not high-end gaming laptops but they'll do the job if you just want to play StarCraft II.

MSI Unveils Two 10-Inch Tablets, Windows 7 Based WindPad 100W and Android-Based 100A

MSI has just announced their latest two tablets and it's the WindPad 100W and 100A. They're both sporting 10-inch displays and the "W" stands for Windows 7, while the "A" stands for Android. So, the 100W features an Intel Atom Z530 1.66GHz CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD, and an HDMI port. Furthermore, Engadget tested this tablet out and mentioned that it was "seriously laggy and unresponsive". Windows 7 on a tablet is clearly not going to work.

The other model is the 100A which features an ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 1GB of RAM, access to the Android Market, and Android 2.2. Sadly, these specs are definitely behind in the Android tablet world which is about to be flooded with Tegra 2 along with Android 3.0 "Honeycomb". You can look past both of these underwhelming tablets from the company.

MSI Updates Sixteen Of Their Laptops, Make Way For Intel Core 2011 CPUs

Every manufacturer should be unveiling their whole new line-up of notebooks with Intel's new Core 2011 CPUs at CES by the end of this week and MSI is following up on Lenovo's onslaught. The company has just updated sixteen of their current notebooks to make room for the new CPUs along with some graphical upgrades as well. The larger G Series notebooks (17.3-inch GT780 and 15.6-inch GT680) will feature the new quad-core Core i7 CPU along with Nvidia GeForce GTX 400 / 500 graphics and dual SSDs. The GT680 will be available later this month for $1,499 while the GT780 will be available in Q2 of this year.

The F Series will also have room for Core i7 CPUs but the new base model of the 14-inch FX420 notebook has a Core i5 CPU and will launch at a $699 price point which seems like it's worth it at this point. Next up is their C Series of notebooks which is going for a whopping eight hours of battery life so you can expect Core i3 CPUs in there because they'll need to save all the power they can. Price and release dates for a bunch of these notebooks are unknown right now but that's typical for MSI.
