MSI shows off bevy of new laptops at CeBIT

We already knew the GX600 would be showing itself at CeBIT this year, but apparently, quite a few siblings made the trek to Germany as well -- including the aforementioned unit's 14.1-inch sister, the GX400. Moving on, we've got the 15.4-inch GX620 and 17-inch GX720, and while the former looks to arrive in a wood, leather or carbon fiber finish, the latter supposedly arrives with a black lacquer coat and a built-in subwoofer (among other goodies). The GT-730 gaming lappie was also mentioned, but unfortunately, all we know is that it gets its graphics prowess from some form of ATI Mobility Radeon. The AMD-powered EX610 (15.4-inches) also turned heads with its integrated Blu-ray player and HDMI output, while the 17-inch EX700 sported the same along with a GeForce 8400M GPU. Hit up the links below for a couple more snapshots, won'tcha?

real wood? or the "wood" that they used as trim in those 1980's station wagons?

You read my mind!
Reminded me INSTANTLY of my old Ford Cortina Mk4, circa 1978.

I doubt - I EXTREMELY doubt - you are getting real wood here.

This will match all my audio equipment from the 70s. Silver face with simulated wood cabinet is where it's at.

They built an ugly stick machinegun?

[Geir E @ Mar 10th 2008 9:35AM]

I think they built it from an ugly stick.

That is the best use of wood in a laptop. At least styled in an appropriate style for use of wood.

Wooden style is unique but doesn't suit with laptop!!!

"And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl"*
