MSI launches PR200 ultraportable in Korea
Recall that quietly seductive PR200 we saw way back in January? MSI has gone and launched the 12-inch ultraportable in Korea, given it a dark outfit, and thrown it into the ever-expanding MEGABOOK lineup. The finalized machine will reportedly sport Intel's 965 Express chipset, a Core 2 Duo T7300 processor, 2GB of RAM, 802.11n support, integrated GMA X3100 graphics, a 1.3-megapixel camera, built-in microphone, and an HDMI port. Additionally, you'll find a fingerprint scanner, onboard optical drive, audio in / out, a number of USB ports, and a ginormous palm rest sticker for good measure.

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.
