MSI Introduces EX460 14" Gaming Notebook

Hitting the sweet spot between netbook and full-sized netbook is this, the EX460 from MSI. Checking in with a 14" LED backlit display and an Intel Core Duo CPU, this 4.4lb. machine packs a 6-cell battery and a classic, minimalist style. Within, you'll find an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 GPU (512MB), which is pretty darn impressive for a 14" notebook.

Cleary designed at casual gamers and multimedia junkies, the EX460 boasts MSI's proprietary Vivid image-enhancing technology and an ergonomic keyboard with keys that are 51% larger than keys on conventional notebooks. There's also an array of touch-control shortcuts allows the user to switch between Gaming, Cinema, Presentation, Word Processing and Turbo Battery modes to automatically adjust the screen brightness and processor resources for the optimal balance between performance and power consumption. The full specifications are posted below, but sadly there is no price or release date to discuss.
