MSI Launches Two New Notebooks

MSI is expanding its lineup once again, this time with two new notebooks. The new EX723 targets users looking for entertainment, while the new GT729 satisfies those looking for speed and power.

The EX723 features a 17-inch LCD with a resolution of 1440 x 900. This 16:10 screen is capable of displaying DVD caliber images for your gaming and viewing pleasure. MSI’s exclusive VIVID LCD technology helps this notebook display better richness in colors and provide all of the fine details when gaming, editing images, or watching movies.

This notebook uses an Nvidia GeForce G110M graphics card with 512MB VRAM to provide fluid, detailed, and realistic graphics display.  Other key specs include Intel Centrino 2 technology with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and the Intel PM45 Express Chipset.  With the notebook’s optional Blu-ray drive and Theater Class 4 speakers and subwoofer, you’ll enjoy movies in full 1080p with rich sound. The notebook also provides an HDMI connection.

The EX723 uses MSI’s ECO Engine to help save power and extend battery running time while performing different tasks. The ECO touch sensor provides easy access to five different modes – Gaming mode, Movie mode, Presentation mode, Office mode, and Turbo Battery mode.
