MSI F-Series Laptops Launched in India; Price Range Rs. 37000 to 53000

Micro Star International (MSI) the leading laptop manufacturer further expanded one of the broadest line-up of notebook computers in India with the unveiling of five models from its stylish and elegant F-Series notebooks. Conceived as classy, high-tech accessory for the fashion-conscious urbanite, the new F-Series topples the traditionally held view that technology products are standard-issue items bereft of human touch.

The new line-up was unveiled by fashion personality and style icon Nethra Raghuraman, in the presence of Mr. Tony Yang, Managing Director of MSI India. “The innovations that characterize the F-Series notebooks, which range in size from 14" to 17", are not limited to fashionable exteriors; rather, they also offer the user an awesome multimedia experience. MSI worked in close collaboration with internationally renowned sound system experts from Dynaudio and THX to design the F-Series notebooks so that they would be both powerful and offer amazing sound,” said Tony Yang.

Caressing the delicate details, smooth lines, artistic chocolate keyboard, and tasteful Color Film Print body of F-Series, ones senses are heightened and imbues a feeling of warmth.

A technology “first” in notebooks, MSI has introduced the WiDi in the F-Series. With the new F-Series featuring India’s first WiDi and powered by the Intel Core processor family, you can sit back and experience your favorite videos, photos and music on your TV with great image clarity and amazing sound, wirelessly.

Performance:
The FX400, FX600, FX700, and FR600 are equipped with the power-sipping, high performance Intel Core i5 processor with Intel Turbo Boost and Intel Hyper-Threading technologies which adjusts processor efficiency on the go, greatly enhancing overall system performance.

Models with discrete graphics in the F-Series all come equipped with the nVIDIA GeForce GT 325M discrete graphics card with 1GB GDDR3 of display memory bestowing them with high performance graphics processing capabilities. This is coupled with MSI’s own GPU Boost technology which automatically switches graphics processing modes. When you are using applications that require high performance graphics processing, the system automatically cuts over to the powerful discrete graphics mode to bolster graphics processing to maximize the multimedia experience. When performing tasks that don’t load the system down, like word processing and web surfing, the system automatically reverts back to the integrated graphics chip mode, greatly reducing power consumption. GPU Boost technology strikes an ideal balance between performance and battery life.

Despite using high performance processors and an internal DVD Super-Multi CD-ROM, the MSI F-Series still boasts extended battery life. MSI’s exclusive ECO engine power saving technology gives the F-Series more than twice the per-charge battery time of conventional Notebooks. Furthermore, ECO engine power saving technology allows you to select from among five power management levels—Gaming, Movie, Presentation, Office, and Turbo Battery, automatically adjusting display brightness, on/off switch, sleep mode, and processor performance settings, to maximize battery flexibility and per-charge use time.

Multimedia:
MSI's consummate craftsmanship coupled with the capabilities of world leaders in sound system design Dynaudio and THX have produced notebook computers with the ultimate in sound, so the sound experience from the F-Series is like never heard before in a notebook computer.

The extreme focus on details comes to fore in the design. Even the location of speakers has been precisely calculated to realize unparalleled sound performance. The sound technology incorporated into the FX700 was realized as a result of close collaboration with Dynaudio, extensive study, and countless calculations to determine the ideal locations for speakers to obtain obstruction-free sound transmission.

THX, the internationally renowned authority in sound system technology, worked closely with MSI in the designing of the entire MSI F-Series. The resulting high quality theater-grade surround sound speakers reproduce high fidelity sound regardless of music type and frequency range. This is then adjusted with the Smart Volume and Surround technologies to create a surround sound environment tailor-made for you.

MSI's F series boasts powerful hardware and world-class sound technology, so you can enjoy clean, crisp picture and sound. You can instantly switch to film mode for clearer pictures with richer colors with just one touch of the Cinema Pro button.

Beautiful inside and out:
MSI F series Notebooks have two DDR3 memory slots. The FX400 comes with a 1.3 megapixel Webcam, while other F series Notebooks are equipped with the high definition HD720P Webcam for enhanced image quality. Large-capacity 250GB-500GB hard drives are also available. The comprehensive array of connecting ports ensures that you have everything you need for multimedia integration and transferring files. F series Notebooks are also equipped with an HDMI port to connect with digital HDTVs hassle-free.

The brilliant chrome-plated MSI logo set in the center of the cover accentuates the textured sheer black finish exuding a refined elegance. The no-peel, textured color film print coating protects against scratching and wear, while adding that extra touch of class.

Similar craftsmanship went into the design of the inside cover and the wrist-rest areas, underscoring the overall design balance of the F-Series. In addition, details on F-Series notebooks, including high tech raised points on the touchpad and unassuming matte platinum trim around the base and speakers imbue the notebooks with class heretofore found only in fine works of art.

MSI F-Series Notebooks Prices Range from Rs. 37,000 to Rs. 53,000 depending on the model and configuration.

One clear advantage of this diverse design is light construction - Bamboo Collection notebooks pack a lot of utility without the ensuing weight, making it easy for users to become ambassadors of good taste and environmental responsibility.

Designers picked bamboo not just for its fetching looks; it was chosen after research identified it as a quickly-replenishing resource whose utilization has almost no impact on the environment as a whole. Using bamboo also cuts plastic use by up to 15%*, delivering a premium organic feel that one would usually associate with top-end designer furniture. In addition, the notebooks' green roots are reflected in the product packaging which is made of 100% natural and recyclable bamboo pulp and non-woven packing cloth.

The Beauty of Performance

ASUS has put a lot of intelligent technology into the U43Jc notebook. It's exclusive Super Hybrid Engine (SHE), which monitors processing loads and delivers just the right level of power, works alongside NVIDIA Optimustechnology to conserve energy and hence extend battery life. Optimus technology intelligently switches between high end discrete graphics and normal integrated visuals, depending on system usage. Whenever possible, more energy-demanding graphics are turned off to conserve power, prolonging battery life.

It also features Syncables technology that enables effortless syncing with a plethora of devices, including desktop PCs, other notebooks, smartphones and digital cameras. This makes it easy to share files, backup data and access collections quickly. Intelligent syncing allows users to get more done using one lightnotebook as their nexus - invariably reducing their energy footprint as less equipment needs to be powered on at the same time.

USB 3.0 is another new addition to the range, reflecting the move toward ever-faster data transfers. The new standard is up to ten times faster than USB 2.0, and is fully backward compatible to ensure that all existing USB devices can still be used. And while transferring massive content and large files in mere seconds is a plus, USB 3.0 is also good for the environment, since it charges devices much faster than USB 2.0 and requires less power to do so.

The Beauty of sight and sound

The U43Jc is rigorously tested to meet ASUS' quality assurance standards. The LCD panels come with a Zero Bright-Dot guarantee, providing peace of mind against dead pixels. The notebook also features ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology which automatically tweaks colors, sharpness and other visual parameters to ensure the best experience regardless of the content being viewed. Completing the Bamboo Collection's robust multimedia capabilities are high fidelity speakers with SRS Premium Surround Sound for pristine audio reproduction.

Asus Eco-Friendly Bamboo Notebooks & LED Monitors Launched

The Latest Range of Eco-products Lets Consumers Live a Greener Life:

In light of the environmental issues that plague us today, people are realizing the importance of adopting a green mindset and are making proactive steps towards incorporating a greener approach to their daily lives.

The Green ASUS initiative promotes green and environmentally-friendly practices throughout ASUS. Its latest products are designed to care for the environment, incorporating power-saving technologies like the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine. Steps have also been taken towards the use of environmentally-friendly materials like bamboo and recycled plastics in its products and packaging materials.

The U Series Bamboo Collection-Adding a Touch of Nature and Style to Technology

The ASUS U Series Bamboo Collection notebook is designed for the fashionable, yet environmentally-conscious crowd. With its smoky brown bamboo exterior and brushed aluminum interior, it delivers a feel of the organic world in this hectic concrete jungle—making the user feel closer to nature.

These interesting blends of natural and metallic materials combine to form an amalgamated design that delivers an elegant and light notebook.

The ASUS U Series Bamboo Collection delivers a premium tactile feel with two surfaces that are as different as night and day. With less plastics used in the manufacturing process, the nature-inspired U Series Bamboo Collection is proof that computers need not be cold, calculating machines.

ASUS LED Monitors—When it Comes to Power, Less is More

Actions speak louder than words and it's the little things we do that add up to make a difference to the environment. This can be as simple as turning off a light switch, or using a low-power LED monitor to decrease our energy consumption.

ASUS' belief in developing energy-saving products that save the Earth have resulted in the Super Hybrid Engine in notebooks and Energy-using Power (EuP) standard-compliant motherboards.

In a bid to further lower energy-consumption in its products, ASUS is phasing in mercury-free LED technology into its monitor and notebook product lines.

With a full line-up that ranges from 20 to 24 inches, ASUS' ultra-slim Designo Series LED monitors' 10,000,000:1 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio technology lets it deliver true-to-life images in Full HD 1080p. The mercury-free LED-backlit panel gives users up to 45 percent in power savings when compared to similar LCD monitors—equating to 37.2kWh and 23.6kg of CO2 annually. To put things into perspective, that is like planting 1.9 trees a year, and contributing enough oxygen for a family of four for almost two years*.

Introducing the Notebook Batteries of Tomorrow

With an eye to future proofing, ASUS is first to include the latest lithium-ion battery technology as standard equipment in its new Business Series B43 and B53 notebooks.

The green Boston-Power Sonata battery is long-lasting, faster to charge, safer, and more cost effective. It is the only green-certified rechargeable lithium-ion notebook computer battery cell. The technology has been accredited by both Scandinavian and mainland China environmental testing standards, and has received RoHS certification.

ASUS Business Series B43 and B53 notebooks now boast a battery capable of over 900 charge cycles - more than three times than traditional notebook batteries, therefore providing users with dependable portable power and extended mobility for the typical life of their portable PCs.

Coupled with the addition of ASUS Xpress Charge technology, these notebooks can quick charge a fully drained battery to 90% capacity in just 90 minutes.

Going Green beyond the Product Life Cycle

As part of its commitment to the environment, ASUS has developed SEA (Smart Energy in Action), a green solution that enables users to easily measure, monitor and analyze their energy consumption at home. ASUS SEA automatically uploads the collected data to a website, where users can study them in detail and trade tips on how to lower their energy use. And since the data is hosted on the cloud, users will be able to access the information wherever they are.

The Green ASUS initiative goes beyond the product life cycle. All ASUS products are designed to be easily disassembled and recyclable. These products feature modular parts that can be easily disassembled with common household tools, and are clearly labeled for recycling.

ASUS has a strict hazardous material management philosophy and prefers to use natural or recycled materials for its products. ASUS restricts the use of over 130 hazardous substances, surpassing the requirements of international regulations.

ASUS also believes that it is responsible for proper end-of-life management for its products, and provides free product recycling services in Europe, North America, and Taiwan.

The organization vows to continue to pursue higher green standards, with an entire range of Green Design technologies in the pipeline for its notebook, Eee PC™, EeeBox PC, LED monitor, and motherboard products.

MSI CX623 Laptop Just Hit the Market with Great Features
