#msi cx620

We got 3 units of MSI notebooks powered by the latest Intel Core i3 processors (CX620, CR420 and CX420) but despite having varying form factors and configurations, they all basically look alike. As such, we'll start the review of the MSI CX620 and go from there. The CX620 is so far, the largest notebook under MSI's Core i3 series with a 15.6" display screen. It only has 2 USB ports though but MSI added an HDMI port and eSATA port at the back as well a 4-in-1 card reader and ExpressCard. What's most intriguing is the sub-score for the CPU which is just 5.9 -- it's significantly lower compared to the 6.5 I got with the MSI CX420 which has the same CPU as the CX620. The MSI CX620 is one of the more affordable yet capable laptops running a Core i3 processor couple with a discreet graphics. 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.
