MSI X420

The MSI X420 packs a decently powerful punch into a slim, sexy ultraportable chassis. The laptop features a CULV (Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage) Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a discrete graphics card, along with an easy two-button system of switching between the discrete and the integrated graphics cards (for performance and for battery life, respectively). While the discrete graphics card makes watching high-def video a smooth and seamless experience, the X420 is not quite a portable gaming powerhouse. Besides the CULV processor, our review unit, which costs $799 (as of 8/6/2010), features an ATI Mobility Radeon HD5430 3D external display adapter, 1GB of DDR3 RAM built in, a 500GB hard drive, a glossy 14-inch, 1366-by-768-pixel LCD, and SRS Premium Sound. The MSI X420 also has a built-in 1.3-megapixel Webcam, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, "ECO Support" (a number of different modes for saving the battery), and "GPU Boost Technology" (a way to switch between graphics cards). At 13.8 inches long by 9.2 inches wide by 0.9 inch thick (1.4 inches thick with the battery) and weighing in at just 4.14 pounds, the MSI X420 is nicely slim and light. The notebook has a slick, tapered design that makes it look a little slimmer than it actually is.

MSI X-Slim X420

Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) laptops have hit a lull lately, as Intel took its time launching the latest Ultra Low Voltage Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors. Still, that's not stopping companies like MSI from launching them. The MSI X-Slim X420 ($800 street) purged the internal optical drive in favor of a super thin 14-inch frame. Though the Core 2 Duo U7300 processor is based on last year's technology, its two energy-efficient cores took the 63WH battery for a 7+ hour ride. But even with the two graphics chipsets - one integrated (Intel) and one discrete (ATI) - and 4GB of DDR3 memory, it was no match for the Editors' Choice Asus U30Jc-1A ($899 street, ). For such a thin laptop, the X420 takes a very conservative approach with design. Its brown, shiny plastics can easily be overlooked, as brighter colors attract more attention on store shelves. Case in point: The Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz) ($999 direct, ) effectively uses bright whites to draw in the crowds. It lacks the luxurious finish of metals, such as the aluminum exteriors found in the Asus UL80Vt-A1 ($823 street, ) and Asus U30JC-1A. Dull plastics aside, the X420 is undeniably thin and light, measuring 13.8 by 9 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighing 4.4 pounds.
