Unusually for a consumer laptop, the inch screen is a standard TFT panel. However, with powerful graphics and impressive connectivity, it is excellent value for money, and if you're seeking a gaming laptop, this is the one for you.

The lack of HD support may disappoint some, but the short battery life is a bigger issue making it only really suitable for use when you've got mains power nearby. VAT is a light laptop and strikes a great compromise between performance and mobility. It's still a big machine, with a inch screen, but you'll be able to take it out and about if need be.

The display has a resolution of x pixels, which is lower than most of its rivals. Images appeared sharp, however, and the larger text and icons will suit some users. Price comparison Reviews on Laptops at Ciao.

The quality of the lid conforms to the standard of this notebook class. Even when applying only some force at the outside, the whole lid deflects, so, the sensible LCD is not well protected. If you carry the notebook in the knapsack, you should, therefore, especially take care that nothing heavy, e. Furthermore, the design is very sensible to dirt of all kinds. Fingerprints and dust almost stick to the shiny black plastic surface and it's merely a matter of time until there are some small scratches if you carry it frequently.

Of course the same is also true for the inner surfaces which are made of plastics. Especially the palm rest area will look used soon. However, it can be easily cleaned by the provided micro fibre cloth. The interface equipment consist of unfortunately only three USB ports , Firewire , and a memory card reader at its front side. There is a small web cam in the display frame, which is alright for video conferences.

With the provided headset you are also ready to understand you partners without problems. The integrated sound chip by Realtek has both, an analogue interface, which can be used to attach a stereo or surround system, and a combined optical out , which provides high-quality sound via a fitting adapter.

The last aspect is especially important for home use, because the MSI Megabook GX Extreme is not only a gaming notebook, but also an exemplary multimedia computer. It's as easy and trouble-free as attaching an external computer screen. So, you can play games or watch films in unbelievable size. However, transferring audio signals via HDMI with the pre-installed driver did not work properly. The movie itself can be as usual on hard disk or on CD. If you have the proper media, you'll be able to see new top quality pictures.

The difference to standard DVD playback gets obvious at once and is really impressive, regardless of whether you connect an external 32 inch screen or use the 17 inch notebook panel. So, there is, in contrary to other manufacturers, no need to spend a high amount on money on it. According to the latest developments its seems that this standard is more wide-spread than the HD-DVD format. So, it is likely that there are more and more movies in this format available in the future.

Alike most of 17 inch notebooks also the MSI-Notebook has a complete keyboard including numeric pad. Because there is too less space for keys of full size side by side, some hot keys , the umlauts of the German keyboard layout , and the cursor keys are smaller than usual. Instead of the standard size of 1. Until you got used to this, some typing mistakes are likely.

Although the keyboard clearly yields in its centre and partly clatters, the key feedback is rather definite. The design for gaming has not seen through to completion. While the W, A, S, and D keys are highlighted in red , the left Ctrl key, which is also important for gamers, is not completely left , but right beside the Fn key. Those who like jump and run games won't be pleased by shrunk cursor keys too.

If your hands are big, you might have troubles using them. The mouse pointer can be precisely controlled by the 7. The vertical scroll area helps browsing through long documents and web sites. But, if you need one, you can simply configure the driver for it.

Both of the pad's buttons are rather stiff and especially the left one clearly too loud. But, overall they work properly. The high resolution of x pixels WUXGA is uncommonly fine and it comes with a matt surface which is totally remarkable considering the GX is designed for gaming and multimedia.

At the cost of brilliance, the display does at least not reflect. The display scores average in our tests. Besides the matt surface good viewing angles get obvious at once. Especially horizontal the possible viewing angles are above average. As expected the quality diminishes faster horizontally, but, it stays just alright. The colours are slightly dull , but neural.

The contrast seem also somewhat weak. Checking games the display showed its real strong side. Even if it is not used in its native resolution, which is very fine, the displayed picture is always alright. The resolution of x pixels WXGA is brilliantly represented , so, the load on the video card can be reduced when running current games, which often do not reach sufficient frame rates for smoothly running at native display resolutions.

Furthermore, after-images are rare when running fast shooters and there is hardly any video noise when watching movies. On the contrary the measurements are not as good.
