MSI rolls out EX300, EX400 laptops

While it may seem like MSI has nothing but the Wind on its mind these days, the company is, in fact, still in the general laptop business, and its just let loose a pair of decidedly ordinary new models to prove it. From the looks of it, the "athletic and fashionable" EX300 (pictured above) is the slightly more interesting of the pair, with it sporting a 13.3-inch WXGA display, an unspecified Core 2 Duo processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450 graphics, a max 320GB hard drive, up to 4GB of RAM, and a Blu-ray drive, among other standard fare. The EX400, on the other hand, opts for a slightly less portable 14.1-inch display and some more traditional styling, along with some virtually identical specs to its more "athletic" counterpart. No word on a price for either of 'em just yet, unfortunately, nor is there any indication of a release 'round these parts.

I'm not digging the transformers look.

[Jason @ Aug 27th 2008 5:29PM]

Then I think that should read Homegirl.

same...i find it to add more height to the laptop in closed position....laptops should be sleek for carrying right?

[Jason @ Aug 27th 2008 6:59PM]

....oh, you meant for the laptops!

Looks like Crips versus Bloods to me.

[Sam Stone @ Aug 27th 2008 5:05PM]

Look, I know I shouldn't laugh at gang violence, but that was a well survyed description of the picture.

[phanbouy @ Aug 27th 2008 5:07PM]

yep and anyone who can retain any respect after requesting something come in "dazzling red"...

[phanbouy @ Aug 27th 2008 5:11PM]

Brilliantly dazzling. Not.

[steven @ Aug 27th 2008 6:16PM]

why is there a big lump on the screen
more aerodynamic?

[Jason @ Aug 27th 2008 5:30PM]

That would be for the built in Hoover vacuum that doubles as a fan.

[Phoenix987 @ Aug 27th 2008 6:43PM]

With the large fans you would hope it wouldn't overheat. Somehow I don't think that's the best way to fix any overheating issues.

Blu-Ray built in? To be honest, if they dropped that, I'd be in. I don't own any blu-ray movies so really don't care about a BR drive.

[Jason @ Aug 27th 2008 6:57PM]

iWhore 3G now!!!

Never buying anything form MSI. They cheated me on a rebate because I did not pay full price on the item. It was purchased online (duh!) you never pay full price online. I think they are just giving people the runaround w/ rebates in the hopes that they would get discouraged and give up.

Come on MSI. Pay up you bone heads!

Nerds rejoice! Now you can win all those athletic competitions you've always sucked at... with the help of your "athletic" new laptop!

[bertross @ Aug 28th 2008 4:20AM]

There's something very Dell I'm feeling about this...in a good way. Not sure about that bump in the lid.

[CONELRAD @ Aug 28th 2008 9:29AM]

something very dell indeed. it's an XPS M1330 beaten by the ugly stick.

dell comes out and produces a genuinely attractive notebook, MSI cockslaps it. fine work.

Never a moment of delay to occur, feel the excitement!
