MSI EX310 notebook announced
MSI, maker of the “Wind” mini notebook, has revealed its EX310 notebook. The MSI EX310 is bit bigger than the MSI Wind; it packs a 13.3-inch LCD screen with native 1280×800 resolution and positions itself between MSI’s 10-inch Wind and its 14.1-inch P400. The MSI EX310 runs on AMD’s Turion X2 Ultra dual core processor and is equipped with 4GB of RAM. An ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450 graphics card with 256MB of RAM handles video duties. The MSI EX310 also has an optional Blu-ray optical drive, HDMI output and a TV tuner card.
As it is meant to be used as an occasional entertainment center, the EX310 is equipped with Dolby Surround Sound support. Wireless connectivity comes through 802.11n Wi-Fi, while Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR allows the notebook to connect with wireless mice and other short-range add-ons.
Storage capacity is optional between 160GB, 250GB or 320GB SATA drives, with Windows Vista Home Premium preloaded on either choice. Web chats are made easier with an integrated 2.0-megapixel webcam, while the noise-canceling, focused microphone makes speech easier to understand. For security, a fingerprint reader is standard fare.
While the EX310 has already launched in MSI’s home market of Taiwan with red and blue color options, neither a US release date nor pricing have yet to be revealed. The company regularly exports some of its PCs to North America.
