also less than one inch thick, and boasts a nine hour battery life and the performance
of a discrete graphics processor. Both are equipped with the Intel® CULV energy-saving
platform and use the latest Intel Core™ 2 Duo dual-core CPU.
X350: Affordable, light and slim 13” notebook
The sleek X350 features a13.4” high-def 16:9 aspect ratio LED backlit screen with
1366x768 resolution, which shows full-screen entertainment while consuming 70 percent
of the power of competitors’ CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps) displays.

efficient Intel Core 2 Duo dual-core CPU combined with an 8-cell battery provides
up to long hours of computing when in ECO mode.

lightweight affordable package that is sure to turn heads,” said Andy Tung, vice
president of sales, MSI North America.
The laptop also features a 500GB hard drive, 4GB DDR2 Memory, and Windows® 7 Home
Premium.

X420: Combines best-in-class graphics with portability and long battery life
Inside its elegant chocolate exterior, the X420 combines the performance of a discrete
graphics processor with the low power usage of an integrated graphics processor
to deliver superior image quality and up to nine hours of battery life.
The X420’s 14” backlit high definition display showcases breathtaking imagery powered
by a DirectX® 11 compatible ATI Mobility Radeon™ 5430 HD graphics card. Partnered
with MSI’s exclusive 3D Boost technology, X420 users can switch between discrete
and UMA modes depending on their graphic and power consumption needs to enjoy long
battery life while on the go.
“In the past, notebook owners have had to sacrifice portability and battery life
for superior graphic performance,” continued Tung. “With the new X420, MSI is offering
our customers the best of both worlds -- best-in-class graphics in a lightweight,
ultraportable notebook that comes at an affordable price.”
With SRS Premium Sound, the X420 provides users with rich bass and clear dialogue,
while delivering high-frequency definition and an overall broadening of the sound
