MSI is showing its breezy new high-mobility notebook computers, including the U270, U160MX, X370, and X460, featuring Intel and AMD’s new generation power-sipping, high-performance processors at this year’s CeBIT in Hanover, Germany. Certain models also come with MSI’s own TDE overclocking and ECO Engine power-saving technologies. Graced with stylishly slender exteriors and boasting exceptional performance and extended battery performance, these machines are stealing the spotlight at CeBIT 2011.
MSI has added two new feather-weight laptops each to its U and X Series. The Wind U270 and U160MX as well as the X370 and X460 are being displayed at CeBIT. The Wind U270 and X-Slim X370 are equipped with AMD’s latest milestone E-350 dual core processor with DirectX 11-supporting AMD Radeon HD 6310 discrete-class graphics chip to significantly enhance the processing performance of diminutive laptops. The X460 packs the Intel second generation Core i processor and nVidia GeForce GT540M discrete graphics card, giving this highly mobile laptop impressive power.
Eric Kuo, associate vice president for global sales, MSI Notebook, explains that MSI’s latest ultra-light, ultra-portable laptops not only pack punch, they are also slimmer, lighter, and more stylish. The X370, for example, is less than one-inch thin and tips the scales at just 1.4Kg with battery. The X370 is graced with a black brush finish that, in addition to being beautiful, also protects against smudging and wear. It also comes with MSI’s ECO Engine power saving technology, Easy Face biometric software, the Easy Viewer photo manager, and the S-Bar tool bar—exclusive applications designed to further enhance your computing experience.
Lean, mean machines:
- 2nd generation Intel Core processor: The X-Slim X460 features the 2nd generation Intel Core i processor for better performance and the new generation Turbo Boost 2.0 for vastly enhanced performance in each core. The Quick Sync Video revs up efficiency when ripping, synchronizing, and editing multimedia files.

At 6.5 watts, it not only sips power, it enhances performance by 10% and extends battery life by 15%. In addition, MSI’s TDE (Turbo Drive Engine technology) instantly kicks the Wind U160MX into overdrive, so the system doesn’t bog down when processing heavy-load applications, like image processing software.
