For our testing today we are converting a 3.3GB 720p MKV file to Apple Mp4 format for playback on a portable device. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.
Cyberlink Espresso refused to accept the nVidia 310M as a viable platform for video acceleration, even with the latest update. The final time is down to the Intel Core i5 processor, alone.
Great looking laptop, not so sure about the keyboard flex, although more laptops seem to have this problem now. it is down to cut price support beams or something?
The pinstripe is cool, liked the close up shot. interesting how they make the pattern with dots.
Good battery life, seems all round very impressive, apart from hardcore gaming.
If they sold this with a better GFX id be all over it.
Excellent, I actually saw this in PCWORLD over here last week, and was t empted, but I wasnt sure about the performance. Hey whats with MSI putting a warranty void over the screw? thats a bad move, how are we meant to upgrade it? send it back to them for an extra cost 🙁 that pissed me off.
310M seems to suck hard. rest of it is good however. but id need something more beefy for my laptop in gaming side.
Not many ports down the sides, id like 3 USBs, 2 on one side and 1 on the other, not most of them on the back, its a pain to get there. a few other ideas I like with the design, but that pinstripe thing would hurt my eyes.
Good review, battery life is impressive considering the power of the CPU. Im not keen on the styling myself, it loks like a toshiba machine I had years ago.
What about the build quality? it looks ok, but are all the parts fitted well?
Not for me, im a sony man through and through
Temps are good and battery life. the pros outweigh the cons, shame about the lackluster gfx performance.
I have had a MSI 3 series laptop for years now and have no intention of replacing it. I only surf and play flash gameson the move. I can recommend them as a laptop they rock.
For 600 quid it seems fairly good although acer do a machine with a better gfx and the same CPU for 650.
I like it, its better than my desktop machine right now 🙁 im poor !
The overall machine looks like it would burn your eyes out in sunlight, so many reflective surfaces. good job getting the pictures taken without burning all the surfaces out! Not my scene really I like alienware.
MSI make great machines, i love their gear.
