Thread: MSI CR400X Laptop

While the performance of the MSI CR 400X is comparable to that of the Extensa 5630 and the Wipro Ego, it is the lightest in weight and compact. Its build and portability can be compared to the eMachines 0525. So, it's an ideal pick for people who travel and want to work with slightly demanding applications. It looks comparatively good but isn't the best, as the Extensa and the Ego are better-looking. Pre-loaded with Windows Vista Ultimate, it has 14-inch glossy screen, a 1.3 megapixel webcam as opposed to VGA, a memory card reader, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi N and a PC card slot. Other features include 3 USB and a VGA port, audio jacks and a DVD writer. Built around an Nvidia nForce 730i chipset, this laptop is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T6400, has 2 GB RAM and a 250 GB hard drive. This hardware suffices for office applications and light entertainment on the go. The build quality and ergonomics could have been better. Although the keys are large, the spacing and lack of tactility are disappointing.
