MSI's new PR200 ultraportable packs another unannounced Intel chipset


That 17-inch GX700 behemoth isn't the only laptop from MSI packing a previously unannounced Intel chipset; the PR200 does that fresh Intel stuff in an 12.1-inch widescreen ultraportable form factor. At 3.96 pounds, we've definitely seen smaller in our day, but with a 1280 x 800 screen, Core 2 Duo, 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel webcam, a 4-in-1 card reader and, most surprisingly, a built-in super-multi DVD burner, it's hard to complain much about the weight. Integrated graphics, courtesy of the new 965GM chipset -- also brought to you by the letter "X" and the number "3000" -- are of the X3000 variety, but that's about the best we know for specs here. The 965 "Crestline" chipset featured in here should be busting out with the Intel Centrino Pro platform in Q2 2007, so we should probably expect this little guy around then.
