Computex 2005: MSI, stylin it up with lappies




MSI had plenty on display appealing to a massive range of technological interests, so first off, let’s have a look at two interesting laptops they were showing off.

Meet the M645, featuring a 15.4” Super Glare WXGA screen with a native resolution of 1280x800. Graphics are powered by an NVIDIA GeForce 6600go with either 64 or 128 Mib RAM. Using the Intel 915P chipset, the M645 supports Intel Centrino CPUs.

Other features include a dual layer DVD combo drive, 4 in 1 card reader, WIFI 802.11 b/g and optional Bluetooth.



Next up is the M635, in opposition to the M645, this is an AMD and ATI powered machine featuring an AMD Turion CPU with an ATI Mobile Radeon X700. It has the same 15.4” Super Glare WXGA screen as the M645 running native at 1200x800 and having the same features as well with a 4 in 1 card reader, dual layer DVD combo drive and optional Bluetooth.

We had a similar discussion with MSI. Super Glae is just a brand name and not indicative of the screens… but it has to be said that they are far more reflective than a bog standard laptop screen.

Yeah i agree, the only thing i can think of for reflective screens is to see if there is someone watching you.

Theirs a few types of LCD's reflective, transmissive, and transflective.

Reflective LCDs use less power and absorb ambient light when available.
Transflective has a backlight and absorbs light
Transmissive is completely backlit (i.e. no glare)

My 12' powerbook though appears to have a transflective screen, but it really does not reflect as much as these new laptops do and this MSI one here.

I heard that M645 is not allowed sold in the UK Markting based on Intel company. Even you purchased it, it will not be supported by Intel. Could you help to clarify it if all of their Intel platform NB is not allowed? What about the quality about their products?
