Yes it’s back to school time again and as the economy isn’t exactly booming just now, parents and students who are fending for themselves are bound to be feeling the pinch when it comes to purchases for the new term time.
These days it would seem some sort of notebook is an absolutely essential tool for educational purposes and so for those on the look out for a new laptop MSI might ease the pressure as bit.
They have just announced a back to school line up of laptops all with decent 16 and 17 inch display screens and with prices that start as low as $549. That’s got to be a bit of a bargain, provided of course the specs are up to scratch and it would appear that they are.
The Classic C series line up consists of no less than 5 different models, one of which even comes with Blu-Ray.
* CR600-013US has a 16-inch display with a 1366 x768 resolution and costs $549
* CX600-049US has a 16-inch display with a 1366 x768 resolution and costs $649
* CR600-017US has a 16-inch, display with a 1366 x768 resolution and costs $649
* CR700-012US has a 17.3-inch display with a 1600 x 900 resolution and costs $649
* CX700-020US has a 17.3-inch display with a 1600 x 900 resolution and costs $799
Four of the five new laptops have an Intel T4200 Dual Core 2 GHz processor and the fifth one, the CR600-017, is fitted with the T4300 2.1 GHz processor.
Three of the models (those in the CR range) come with GeForce 8200 M G DVD graphics; the CR600-017 also has Blu-ray. The other two in the CX range have ATI Mobility Radeon 4330 with 512 MB RAM graphics, DVD.
All five come with Windows Vista operating system pre installed. You also get a 320 GB Hard Disk Drive and 4GB Memory.
For connectivity options you have 802.11 n Wi-Fi and there’s Ethernet and of course there’s the usual array of standards such as a 1.3 Megapixel webcam, 4 in 1 card reader and 3 USB ports. The battery is a 6 cell.
With regard to weight, the 16 inch screens weigh around 5.47 pounds with the battery included and the 17 inch screens are hitting nearer the 6.6 pound mark.
You get a three year warranty on all of the machines.
Altogether not a bad buy if you want a good enough multi media experience with a larger screen size and don’t mind compromising a bit on the power.
