well said so now u're running win7 izzit? all the drivers corresponds well i presumed? btw, uf i'm not mistaken u just review on the built of CX420. how's the other parts, like batt life, screen clarities? and is there any significant different when swapping the gpu?

wahlaueh, swapping the gpu?! I don't play games wan, only surf the net whole day in the integrated Intel graphics mode (actually not whole day lar, only 10 hours or so and then watch a lil porn!) kakaka. Anyway I watch movies in this mode is still ok, smooth, no need to switch to HD5470.

Seriously though, I am running win7 ultimate 32bits (somebody told me that most programs are written for 32bit and if install 64bit win7 may have lotsa problems with applications in future). I just put in the cd and win7 ultimate installed everything by itself. Only thing is I had to go look for the dial-up modem driver on MSI website. I installed that too..... not sure if there is a 56k modem built in. (just in case the wi-fi ko and I can still dialup for email). All the drivers worked perfectly 'out of the box', wi-fi, bluetooth, sound etc.

Battery life is 2.5 to 3 hours or so. I am using Intel graphics mode and not the discrete Radeon HD5470 gpu. It is switchable graphics mode. If you play games then can switch to higher gear using the HD5470.

The screen is ok for me but the angle of view is critical. So if you look at the screen at a greater or lesser angle will be less sharp. I think there is a term for this type of screen. (maybe its nematic, not sure) The screen must be tilted to correct angle for sharpest display.

so dat means the screen must be moved every time u chage ur position. izzit dat noticable in clarity?

I am talking about the vertical height of the head in relation to the display. I can't imagine anyone using a laptop and bobbing his head up and down! Why would anyone do that?! Most laptop displays are like that, there is an optimum angle, give or take a couple of degrees, where the display is at its clearest. You will have to check it out 1st hand cos its almost impossible to describe. Just go look at a couple of different brand's displays and vary the angle of view. You'll get the idea soon enough.

msi is a good notebook brand or not? the price for msi quite cheap.. is after sales service good? i mean, during warranty period, msi provide nice service not??

lowyat offering RM2199 for MSI-CX420 with win7 and 500GB HDD

front page of lowyat.net talk about FX400 looks interesting...

is there any possibility to update cx420's ati driver? probably to the latest

Why not possible ?

because im afraid that my intel HD graphics cannot work after changing the driver n changing to power saving GPU

Anyone is using CR410 ? The graphic use is Ati Mobility Radeon HD4270, but there are no specific driver for this card or any /thread/ or /discussion/ regarding this card anywhere in google.

Can i know about it capability? Benchmark score?

Note : When i said specific driver, the driver that i can use is only those of 42xx series.

You can just use the driver for HD4200/HD4250..
HD4270 is just a higher clock version of those..

my friend MSI notebook only 1 month use the hdd already kaput..

WD scorpio blue 320gb..
