And it literally means heavy -- the MSI CX620 is in more ways like the big brother of the CX420 that was featured here earlier. The MSI CX620 is the one that's really a desktop replacement unit with a 15.6" (diagonal) display screen with a full-sized keyboard coupled with a dedicated numeric keypad.

I'm a bit curious why it only has 2 USB ports but MSI added an HDMI port and eSATA port at the back as well a 4-in-1 card reader and ExpressCard. The MSI CX620 has a suggested retail price of Php39,990 in stores. Earlier this month, we discovered the MSI Wind PC as the desktop version of the popular netbooks.
