We got 3 brand new laptops from MSI this week to test out and the first two were 14-inch laptops running on an Intel Core i3 processor -- the MSI CR420 and the MSI CX420. The CX420 comes with a 1GB DDR3 ATI Radeon HD5470 that should suffice your needs for gaming. However, if you're on a budget and don't want a discreet graphics card but still looking to get a Core i3 laptop, the MSI CR420 is a more affordable option at only Php31,999. Just before CES 2009 officially opens, MSI has already sent a preview of their Mac Air look-alike with the X-Slim X320 -- a 13.4" Atom-powered netbook. Looking gorgeously slim at 0.8" at its thickest base, the MSI X320 still manages to include 3 USB ports, a VGA port, a LAN port, and a 3-in-1 card reader. Clearly and Air competitor, the MSI X-Slim weighs about 1.3kgs (2.9lbs) and is just 6mm thin on the tip (just imagine a wider and thinner MSI Wind U100). Default battery is 4-cell but MSI will also offer an extended 8-cell battery that could last up to 10 hours. Earlier this month, we discovered the MSI Wind PC as the desktop version of the popular netbooks.
