MSI CX640 Laptop Review (Core i5/Nvidia)

I have been using HDTach for many years now and always find it is an invaluable benchmark to ascertain potential levels of performance. HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access read/write storage devices such as hard drives, removable drives (ZIP/JAZZ), flash devices, and RAID arrays. HD Tach uses custom device drivers and other low level Windows interfaces to bypass as many layers of software as possible and get close to the physical performance of the device.

Again, the average MB/s rate scores under 70 MB/s with the burst rate just over 230 MB/s. This clearly shows performance limitations of a 5,400 rpm 2.5 inch ‘eco friendly' drive.

  1. Havent had time to read it all just yet, but it seems respectable for the price. a lot of the budget has gone on the CPU. so ideal for workers I think.

  2. Our local PCWORLD store has this machine I think. it looks good, but it was very dirty looking, from the people pawing all over it. Sony machines always do well in a retail store environment

  3. Nice looking machine really for the price, but I think id spend a few hundred more aim higher up their range for a better model

  4. Looks quite average, but the CPU is a good selling point

  5. Man their other models are so much better

  6. yeah, not that impressive overall. ive been contemplating one of the google laptops when they are released. to try a new operating system.
