Computex 2013 has finally concluded last week and we’ve been swamped with a lot of stories that we covered in Taipei, Taiwan the whole week. If you missed some of our stories, here’s a complete round-up we’ve made.
Windows 8-powered hybrid ultrabooks come in different forms and designs. We have those that folds, twists, and slides just so it can transform from a laptop into a tablet, and vice versa. The MSI Slidebook S20, as the name suggests, caters to the latter design. Cool design, yes, but what else does it have that [...]
Our first day here at Computex in Taiwan and we covered the MSI Press Conference. One of the tablets they showed here in the exhibit is the MSI Primo 81.
The MSI Slidebook S20 is a Windows 8-powered convertible ultrabook that has the capability to transform into a tablet using a sliding mechanism. It was first announced in January during CES 2013 and is MSI’s flagship Windows 8 ultrabook.
More and more handset are now trying out Intel’s Atom chips for their handset. The latest announcement is from ZTE with the ZTE Geek packing a dual-core 2.0GHz processor.
MSI’s latest ultrabook is also a convertible tablet, a form factor that we’ve also seen with the Sony Vaio Duo 11. The MSI S20 lands with a retail price of Php49,995.
As the year is nearing its end, we look at the last 12 months and wonder what Filipinos are frequently looking for especially with gadgets, phones and websites. We got in touch with local Google reps to get some pretty interesting information.
I’m sure everyone’s already eager about the annual MSI-ECS Warehouse Sale this December 2 to 7, 2012. We’ve just received the entire price list of all items to be sold that week.
I often get these types of questions from readers — why are gadgets bought in other countries (HK, SG, US) not supported for warranty repairs and replacement in the Philippines? Well, it turns out this is all about the economics of the distribution system.
SteelSeries is one of the most recognizable brands when it comes to PC gaming accessories so it comes to no surprise that they’ve partnered with a renowned professional gaming team such as ‘Fnatic‘ to redesign their popular 7H gaming headset.
In the realm of gaming laptops, Dell’s enthusiast-oriented Alienware is one of the most well-known brands aside from Clevo and — the newcomer, Razer — brands which all come with stingy price tags. For those who are looking to spend less, Asus, MSI and a bunch of other [Asia-based] brands have all made their own [...]
Along with the ZTE Skate that was launched yesterday, MSI-ECS will also be carrying the ZTE Light Tab 2. Though still running an outdated Android Gingerbread, the Light Tab 2 comes with 3G function.
The folks from MSI-ECS sent us a couple of their new Belkin Wireless N routers to try out. The cheaper one, the N150, promises LAN speeds of up to 150Mbps while the faster one, the N300, can do up to 300Mbps on the local wireless network. We tested them out to see if they can [...]
This is probably the first AMD-based tablet we’ve seen so far and it’s even running Windows 7. I have to give it to MSI for putting out some of those odd yet interesting combinations and the MSI WindPad 110W is one of them.
MSI-ECS is doing another warehouse sale this coming November 28 to December 2, 2011 and will mostly feature notebooks and desktop PCs from HP. The sale offers discounts of up to 80% off of the suggested retail price.
Just like its 7-inch baby brother, MSI’s WindPad Enjoy 10 comes with Gingerbread pre-installed and sells for under Php15,000. Looks like a decent tablet with a decent specs which might interest folks who fancy custom ROMs.
MSI usually puts out windows-based tablets to separate itself from the rest of the pack but it looks like it also has it own Android tablet as well. Announced in June this year at Computex Taiwan 2011, the MSI WindPad Enjoy 7 has arrived in local stores for a retail price of Php11,995.
Since early this year, we have not heard nor seen any new nettops announced locally. After the craze on netbooks several years ago, companies like Intel were banking on nettops as the next major market.
One of the most anticipated sale events that we look forward to every year is the MSI-ECS Warehouse Sale. On September 13-16, the MSI-ECS Sale will again happen at their warehouse in Libis. But before you go, check out the price list below.
We’ve been using MSI’s newest monster gaming laptop, the MSI GT-780R, for the past 2 weeks and enjoying it a lot so far. Not only did they put everything they can think of inside the rig but also added some really sleek exterior features as well.
Our last entry about Nokia being the top brand in the Philippines caused quite a stir, not only here but also in our FB and Google+ entry. So I thought why not do our own little survey too?
In expectation of newer generations of tablets, the current ones available in the market have made some price adjustments of late. I’d like to share this little round-up to give you a better picture and help you decide if you’re not still sold to the idea of owning a tablet.
Looks like MSI also got their own 3D capable laptop, the MSI FR600-3D, and is selling it at under Php40k which makes it the cheapest 3D laptop around.
So we got our hands on the new MSI WindPad W100, one of the very few Windows 7 based tablets. With traditional tablets of this kind, expect a combo of an Intel chip and Win7 to cater to a specific market or niche.
First shown back in May 2010, MSI’s Windows 7 powered tablet — the WindPad W100 — has now landed in the Philippines. Got the note from MSI reps yesterday and am expecting a review unit tomorrow.
