Hybrid netbooks cannot have XP

Laptop Pimp — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:21:00 +0000

Fortunately, there are not too many hybrid laptops around, the only one that is popular and available is the MSI’s 10-inch Wind U115 Hybrid, this uses the 8 Gb solid state drive (SSD) and also at the same time has a 160 Gb hard drive (HHD). This means that the user can switch between the two in order to save on power usage, by disabling the HHD the user can effectively get more out of the battery, which can come in very useful, when power is limited. However, Microsoft does not seem to agree and are trying to ban the computer makers from using Windows XP in laptops that have a hybrid storage system.

Laptop Pimp — Fri, 29 May 2009 03:33:00 +0000

The official page going up for the MSI U115 Hybrid means that this is really on the way and going to happen very soon.

MSI U200 Review

Laptop Pimp — Wed, 13 May 2009 23:43:00 +0000

The mini laptop as with many other types of technology is beginning to grow, now it seems that the manufacturers are looking to create larger models but still manage to keep in with the spirit of the mini laptop theme. Initially the price has been set at around seven hundred dollars, but we would have think that the price is likely to fall to get this machine into the US market.

Review of the MSI GT725

Laptop Pimp — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:43:00 +0000

You can tell just looking at the GT725 that this has been created for gamers, the price tag is also a slight indication of that too although it is not always possible to judge things by price alone. It is understandable as why these computers are priced at the level they are because gamers are so demanding on the specs. Therefore, this is a machine that is high on the spec level and the amount of money that MSI have spent designing and producing the case.

MSI X340 Review

Laptop Pimp — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:35:00 +0000

For MSI it looks as if it is Apple who lay down the benchmarks and MSI try to get a close as they possibly can to these specs. However, at the same time manage to hold back on the total price making them very affordable and there is no denying that the MSI is good value at $899 when it is compared to the Apple at $1,799, which is a hell of a difference. The design of the X340 is second to none with the exception of the keyboard with could have done with some extra work to make it feel worth spending you cash on, after all it is the keyboard that the user has contact with all of the time.

David Allen — Tue, 05 May 2009 16:00:43 +0000

The worse thing about finding a new machine on the market is that lack of information that is around and this is what has happened with the MSI X400 a fourteen inch slim laptop. From the images the laptop has a nice look to it, is has great lines and fantastic design. The information will be coming out as soon as the machine goes on show at the 2009 Computex in Taipei in Taiwan.
