Eric Kuo, associate vice president for global sales, MSI Notebook, noted that the 20+ additions to be shown will include the awesome G Series gaming laptops, the high performance F Series, the deluxe multimedia C Series, the gorgeously slender X Series, and the highly mobile U netbook series. These stylish machines all pack the newest generation of either Intel or AMD's CPUs and advanced visual-display units.

Like supercar-class Dynaudio, cinema-grade THX TruStudio Pro, and premium multimedia SRS PC Sound for the home, programs designed to satisfy the audio-visual entertainment needs of users from around the world, will be on display in Hanover.



Gaming laptops to awe crowds at CeBIT
Kuo went on to say that G Series laptops with 2nd generation Intel Core i7 quad core processors to be displayed at CeBIT 2011 will include the 17.3-inch GT780 and GX780 as well as the 15.6-inch GT680, GX680, and GE620. They all pack high-end discrete graphics cards, some come with MSI's exclusive overclocking technology, and top models also sport accelerated dual solid state drive (SSD) architecture. The awesome computing power of these machines is expected to awe CeBIT visitors.



Intel Core i7 quad core processor: The six new additions to MSI's G Series of gaming laptops-the GT680, GX680, GT780, GX780, GR620, and GE620, all feature Intel's most advanced 2nd generation Intel Core i7 quad core processor. The GT680, GX680, GT780, and GX780 also sport the nVidia GeForce GTX series discrete graphics card, while the GE620 packs the top-end nVidia GeForce GT Series discrete graphics card. The impressive hardware is one reason these NB computers are the ideal choice for serious gamers.

TDE overclocking technology: The GT680, GX680, GT780, and GX780 feature MSI's own TDE overclocking technology (Turbo Drive Engine technology) designed to throttle up system speed. The GT680, in particular, recorded the highest laptop score ever (18,162 points) on the PCMark Vantage test, making it the world's fastest notebook computer.

MSI Premium Sound: If you're of the opinion that laptop computers just can't offer an enjoyable audio experience, then think again. The MSI G Series is going to shatter that stereotype. Driven by unmatched technical expertise and strict sound quality standards, MSI created Premium Sound technology for laptops to satisfy even the most demanding audiophiles. Now, you can experience sound performance like never before. MSI also worked closely with world-renowned sound system designers at Dynaudio to carry out extensive study and countless calculations to find the perfect location for speakers and to obtain obstruction-free sound transmission on the GT680, GX680, GT780, and GX780.

THX TruStudio Pro smart wrap around sound: The GT680, GX680, GT780, GX780, GR620, and GE620 laptops come equipped with professional cinema-grade THX TruStudio Pro smart wrap around sound that, along with the internal speakers, allow G Series NBs to faithfully reproduce every note played on them regardless of music type or frequency band.

Superior performance from new F Series laptops
Kuo pointed out that MSI will be showing at CeBIT 2011 three new additions to its F Series, including the 15.6-inch FX620DX and the 17.3-inch FX720 and FR720. They all come equipped with the high-performance Intel second generation Core i5 processor. The FX620DX and FX720, in particular, come with the nVidia GeForce GT Series discrete graphics card with 1GB of display memory and support DirectX11 which greatly enhances picture resolution for a richer multimedia and game experience. The FR720 comes with Intel's built-in HD Graphics 3000 display chip. These powerful new chip provide improved display performance on par with that of discrete graphics cards.

2nd generation Intel Core processor: The FX620DX, FX720, and FR720 all feature the 2nd generation Intel Core i5 processor for better performance and the new generation Turbo Boost 2.0 vastly enhances performance in each core. The Quick Sync Video revs up efficiency when ripping, synchronizing, and editing multimedia files.

GPU Boost: Discrete-graphics models FX620DX and FX720 feature nVidia GeForce GT540M and GeForce GT520M, respectively, and support DirectX 11 high performance nVidia GeForce GT520M discrete graphics card with 1GB of display memory.

When performing general word processing tasks or browsing the Internet, it automatically cuts to the power-sipping integrated graphics chip mode, striking the ideal balance between performance and battery life. THX smart wrap around sound: To meet the highest standards of sound quality, MSI developed Premium Sound for laptops. It also worked closely with internationally renowned sound designers at Creative to develop top-end, cinema-grade THX TruStudio Pro which produces high-quality wrap around sound, so you are guaranteed crystal clear sound regardless of the music type or frequency band your laptop is cranking out. While the speakers reproduce each note faithfully, the Smart Volume and Surround technologies let you to create the perfect ambiance to go with it.

The powerful CX640 and CR640 boot up in half the time required by conventional laptops, so you don't have to sit around twiddling your thumbs.

Flat black metal brush finish: Inspired by the latest trend in high-end sports cars, MSI's design team incorporated a chic flat black texture into the CX640 and CR640, giving them a unique flat black metal brush finish. So not only do these NBs exude a metallic luster, their touch control panels have also undergone crystal diamond polishing and the recessed speakers give them a layered look. The way the brush finish plays with the light and shadows is sure to catch the eyes of visitors to CeBIT.

Push start power button: Taking inspiration from F1 racecars, the design team opted to incorporate a push start power button into the side of the CX640 and CR640, so that turning them on is evocative of firing up a racecar.

2nd generation Intel Core processor: The CX640 and CR640 feature Intel's more powerful second generation Core i5 processor and new generation Turbo Boost 2.0 technology to accelerate the computing capabilities of all cores.
