MSI Unveils Classic Series CX705 and CX605 notebooks

MSI has added large 15.6″ and 17.3″ notebook computers equipped with ATi Radeon HD 5470 discrete graphics card to its Classic Series. Lightweight and chic, the elegant CX605 and CX705 laptops are encased in lustrous, wear-resistant color film print with a timeless cross-hatch design as well as MSI’s own 45-degree beveled edges.

MSI Director of Marketing Sam Chern points out that the CX605 and CX705 come with ATi Radeon HD 5470 discrete graphics card for ultimate video performance. In addition, these models boast the double advantage of both large screens and light weight—the 15.6″ CX605 is a mere 2.5kg, while the 17.3″ CX705 tips the scales as less than 3kg. Highly portable with MSI’s fashionably classic “cross-hatch” design, these laptops are ideal for film viewing.
