MSI had a flurry of its notebook computers on display in its booth at CES. The M677 model, which is in the above photograph, has a 15.4-inch display with a native resolution of 1280x800. It is based on an AMD Turion 64 X2 processor with an NVIDIA C51MV chipset. The graphics are handled by an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 GPU. A DVD+RW/+R super combo drive with Lightscribe technology is also built in.

The MSI GX700 notebook PC is a desktop replacement notebook characterized by its large 17-inch display, which has been designed to reduce glare and supports resolutions of WSXGA+ (1680x1050) or WXGA (1440x900). The MSI GX701 notebook is similar to the GX700, except that it is based on an AMD Turion chip. Both models use different video solutions that as of yet have not been officially announced. The GX700 uses the NVIDIA NB8P GPU and the GX701 use the ATI X260 GPU.

MSI also updated its Crystal Collection Series with the S300 model. The notebook features a Core 2 Duo T7200 based on the Intel 945 chipset. It comes with 1 GB of DDR2 memory and features a 120 GB SATA HD. The laptop, like the other MSI ones we looked at, is also Vista compatible.

The photo displays the stereo system of the S300, which was discussed in the previous page. The speakers are positioned lateral to the display’s hinges. MSI has always been able to set itself apart from other Taiwanese manufacturers, many of whom tend to create products that are simply clones of each other. MSI solutions are usually aesthetically unique and look pretty slick. In the case of the S300, the MSI ring on the notebook lid is made of 120 pieces of “genuine SWAROVSKI crystal.”

MSI also has a range of portable digital TV products. The particular model in the photo is able to receive DVB-T (Digital Broadcast-Terrestrial Video) transmissions and can also double up as a media player. The device has a 4.2-inch display at a resolution of 320x240. It also comes with a built-in SD/MMC slot and an external antenna connector. MSI guarantees that the product is able to receive transmissions at up to 75 mi/h.

MSI was also displaying its AMD Live! certified multimedia systems. They are available in two versions, the only difference being changes in design. Both use GeForce 6150LE graphics, the nForce 430 chipset, and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors.
