MSI Showcases 30 Notebook Models At Computex
MSI usually delivers new machines at a fairly regular clip, but this is
just insanity. The good kind of insanity. At the Computex trade show in
Taiwan, MSI decided to showcase six major series of notebooks, with a
grand total of 30 models making an appearance. The stylish F Series,
multi-media centric G Series, handheld Wind Pad series and
thin-and-light Wind U/X-Slim Series are all there, with a bunch of
newcomers scattered across the lines.
The 17" GX740 and GT760 and the 15.6" GX640 and GT660 are being showcased to those who need a standard sized machine to handle multi-media and gaming duties, both coming equipped with MSI's own TDE+ technology to give you overclocking at the touch of a finger. The F Series is seeing a huge update, with the FX400, FX600, FX610, FX700, and FR600 showing up in sizes between 14" and 17" and boasting Intel's Core 2010 line of processors. The whole series comes with THX sound enhancements, and models with discrete GPUs are the first notebooks to be equipped with GPU Boost technology to "bolster audio performance."
The Classic series is on hand as well for the business-minded laptop buyer, with the CX410, CX420, CR420, CX620, CX623, CR630, and CX720 spanning from 14" to 17" and being coating in the company's Color Film Print technology. These also offer a chiclet-styled keyboard and a "seamless" touchpad. The newest business model, the P600, relies on a LED-backlit LCD, DVD super-multi drive, Core i5 CPU, a fingerprint reader and ECO Engine technology to save power when you aren't taxing the system.
A plethora of WiMAX-based ultraportables are also being demonstrated, but unfortunately, MSI isn't saying just when these machines will be on sale and for how much. Something tells us we'll know when an event that big happens, though.

What does it mean for a laptop computer to be the "ultimate"? Let us show you at the upcoming Computex 2010! MSI will be showcasing 30-plus notebook computers in six major series in booth L607 in the TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall June 1-5. Come and experience the ultimate in style (F series), the ultimate in multimedia (G series), the ultimate in slim and light (Wind U and X-Slim series), and the ultimate tablet (MSI Wind-Pad).
Taipei - As MSI strives toward its goal of becoming one of the world’s top ten name brands by 2011, MSI will not be outdone in terms of product innovation, stylish design, quality, and multimedia performance. MSI CEO and President Joseph Hsu states that since its establishment 23 years ago, MSI has led the world in motherboards and graphic cards and has been very popular with consumers. What's more, it has accumulated experience in product innovation, design, and R&D in notebooks and continues to introduce ground-breaking new products.
Innovative technologies, striving be world's best
Hsu points out that after being the first in the world to unveil the 10" Wind U series in 2008, MSI was first in 2009 to roll out light X-Slim equipped with the ULV core. Now, notebooks can be thin, light, and chic, while still being big enough to use comfortably. Innovative capabilities like these have caused the MSI brand to shine on the global NB market. MSI is now among the top ten brands in some 30 countries and is expected to become one of the top ten brand names in the world overall in 2011.
This year, MSI's innovative energy in terms of product development and design has gone into overdrive. MSI will be showing 30-plus notebook computers in six major NB series in booth L607 on the fourth floor of the TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall during Computex, June 1-5.

MSI Marketing Director Sam Chern states that of the notebook computers being displayed at the exhibition, those with the most outstanding performance and multimedia in the G series are the 17" GX740 and GT760 and the 15.6" GX640 and GT660 models. Of these, MSI worked in cooperation with world-renowned sound system manufacturer Dynaudio to create the newest kings in gaming notebooks—the GT660 and GT760. They come equipped with MSI’s own TDE+ technology to give you overclocking at the touch of a finger, instantly boosting processor and graphics performance for new levels of gaming enjoyment that could never be had with traditional NBs. World champions Fnatic and US champions Evil Geniuses will be present at the exhibition hall on 1-5 June. Both teams attained their achievements at the keyboards of MSI gaming NBs and will be doing battle on the GT660. It looks to be an exciting clash.
