any using cx420x ?? hows the commend ?

hi~msi user i would like to ask about this laptop ~
how was the quality ?
CR400 seem attractive worth it ?
any cons about MSI ?
TQ

sorry, not sure it's the correct place to ask or not, i just want to know where can i find MSI notebook price list? and which shop in KL or PJ got MSI notebooks display for look and feel?

Thankds in advance.

I made a mistake about the CX420s' sound cos I was listening to a very soft video clip. The sound volume is definitely acceptable.

Yes, can upgrade to 4GB RAM (price is approx RM150).

Free gifts includes MSI bag, cooling pad, mouse + mouse pad, cleaning kit, kensington locking cable.

Pay by credit card in one lump sum is additional 2%. Credit card installment package is additional 5% (I think).

The price of the MSI CX420 has now dropped to RM2099 at amega.com.my. Go to Octavo at Digital Mall and use this info to bargain for a lower price than this.

Good luck. 

Latest MSI Laptops Take Market by Storm
Highly Recommended by World Media

During the world’s three major computer exhibitions held during the first half of the year, MSI unveiled a strong array of 30 notebook computers. Now that the laptops are hitting the market, media around the world have had some highly positive write ups about them. The GX740, for example, is a gamers’ dream machine which has been awarded Editor’s Choice several times and is being oohed and aahed for its awesome presence and performance. The stylish design and extended battery life of the thin and light X-Slim X350 laptop and the Wind U160 netbook have also made them Editor’s Choice. The Wind U160 has been extolled as the best netbook on the market.

30 models hitting market: In order to realize its goal of becoming one of the top ten global names in laptops in 2010, MSI rolled out 30 NB models at the world’s three biggest computer shows during the first half of the year. These exhibitions included CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; CeBIT in Hanover, Germany; and Computex in Taipei, Taiwan. These NB computer series caught the attention of the global media at the shows and have been snatching one award after another ever since. The Wind U160 and X-Slim X620, for instance, received Germany’s iF Product Design Award for 2010—the design world’s equivalent of an Oscar, and the X-Slim X360 was named Buyers’ Choice at Computex. These NBs have been receiving rave reviews by the world media almost as soon as they hit the market.

Ultimate performance

GX740 gaming notebook: Right after hitting the market, editors of many internationally renowned high tech mags, such as I4U, are not only recommending the GX740, they were unanimous in their praise of the GX740’s exceptional performance. Superior multimedia makes the GX740 more than just a gaming machine, it makes it MSI’s flagship for performance and multimedia. The editor of Tweak Town put it this way, “I really like the MSI GX740 gaming notebook… for the price, it performs very well. This machine is also very adept at multimedia.”



Leading the pack

Wind U160: The British media had nothing but good things to say about MSI’s U160 which received Germany’s iF Product Design Award for 2010. It stands above the rest in terms of performance and stylishly innovative design and it has the longest battery life of any netbook on the market. After testing it, Hexus said MSI’s U160 is the “thinnest-ever netbook in our review sample - equipped with a useful six-cell battery - weighs just 1.2kg, making it small, ultra-thin, ultra-light and suitably portable in every sense.”

It is NOT cheap! It is inexpensive. Cheap means lousy and this laptop is NOT lousy!    This CX420 is inexpensive cos for the money you pay you are getting specs & performance level comparable to other brands costing up to 30% more! 

Give MSi another year or so. It seems they are now hitting the market(Malaysian and International) very aggressively.

adz83, a bit of trivia for you. Back in the early 80's when the clone IBM's came on the Malaysian scene, the original IBM desktops & notebooks was the king of the hill. The price was rather exorbitant so not many people could afford them. The most saleable notebook then, that the above average man-in-the-street could afford, was the NEC. It was as much a status symbol as the Motorola brick. In those early days of the Malaysian notebook scene nobody would touch an Acer with a 10 foot pole. Their reputation was that bad! Acer persisted and they got their volume going so everybody talks about Acer since they have significant market share.

MSI was for a very long time OEM manufacturers of laptops whilst concentrating on building their reputation with their motherboards. When they noticed how good the demand was for their netbooks that they were making for others they decided to try their hand at marketing it under their own MSI brand. They are now very aggressively marketing their notebooks globally and some of the models have been receiving rave reviews all over the world. People are only now beginning to take notice of MSI notebooks cos for a long time they did not have any significant market share because they were not really into selling notebooks, only motherboards and being OEM manufacturers. Quantity and quality are two entirely different things. You see many Proton Kancils on the roads. That doesnt mean its a better car than Porsche that you don't see too many of. 

Go and see the CX420 for yourself. It is solidly built. The specs you are getting for the money you pay is good value for money. Not only that but I find the CX420 aesthetically stunning. It will turn heads.

I am not in anyway associated with MSI. I just happen to love their products. Two weeks after I bought the CX420 I also bought the MSI Wind U140 netbook that is now on promotion at Courts for RM989. Check out that netbook at Courts. It will give you an idea of MSI quality.

Good luck! 

thanks wongpeter for the explaination.  so, by this i can conclude that MSI was just as ggod as other brands, rite? and i see the only main factor for the inpopularity is the only fact that they doesn't have a service center here. rite? warranty does a plays a big part huh?
