New models of 17? notebook computers featuring the AMD Turion64 X2 architecture were launched - the L730 and L735. The Turion64 X2 is AMD?s latest generation of highly efficient 64-bit dual core platform, which fully supports all 64-bit software applications available, including Vista, said MSI.

In terms of graphics processing performance, the L735 uses the nVidia GeForce Go 7600 high-end independent display chip (L730 uses the nVidia GeForce Go 6100). Whether you are playing 3D games, working on 3D graphics or industrial designs, or doing anything else that consumes a lot of hardware resources, the L735 is always up to the task with plenty left to spare, bringing you smooth and delay-free video playback. They are also equipped with 5400 RPM high speed hard disk to minimize data storage and access time.

Furthermore, MSI?s exclusive ACS (Advanced Cooling System) is a revolutionary heat dissipation technology. It enhances dissipation of heat inside the chassis by physically exchanging heat. When further coupled with ventilation holes and heat exchange conduction medium, ACS is capable of maintaining low operating temperature for extended operation. This way there is little need for the cooling fan to kick on, significantly reducing noise and conserving power at the same time. This is a desired feature for quiet user environment, such as when working late in the office, or when watching a DVD movie. The users will be better able to experience the ?ultra silent? operation of MSI notebook computers. ?The exclusive ACS heat dissipation technology is better than any of our competitors equivalent. When working in conjunction with a large capacity 9-cell, long-lasting battery pack, the L730 / L735 can operate up to 4 hours long. You no longer have to carry another bulky battery or even a power cord with you when traveling away from the office, giving you less and making your trip a more enjoyable one?, declared MSI.

The L735 uses an ultra bright and high-precision mirror-like material to deliver vivid color saturation and incredible details and sharpness. In terms of screen aspect ratio, the L730 / L735 screen is of the optimum 16:10. In contrast to the traditional 4:3 screen ratio, the wider screen is unquestionably a better display medium for videos and photos. More importantly, the wider screen can display multiple windows in cascaded or tiled format. This significantly minimizes the time required to switch back and forth among windows or to scroll up and down a window itself. Users may use the Excel spreadsheet application to create tables and charts, while at the same copying and pasting them to a PowerPoint slide. Working more efficiently has never been easier!

DualView Dual-Screen Functionality The L730 / L735 both provide the DualView dual screen function. DualView supports video output to both the LCD screen and another externally connected display device such as projector or monitor. Two display equipment mean their refresh rates, resolution, and color quality can be adjusted separately and independently, while running separate software applications.

When running software applications, you can use one screen for PowerPoint presentation, while using another screen for Excel spreadsheet and looking up numeric data. Suddenly your work scope is no longer bound by the screen of your notebook computer, and is instead extended to the screen of a second externally connected device. This function gives you a broader perspective on your tasks, and also saves you from switching back and forth among different windows on the same screen. Working smarter means you can work less hard with greater efficiency, added the manufacturer.

Furthermore, to get you in the theater-like atmosphere, they feature 4.1 Channel Surround Sound with Sub-Woofer. The L735 is the first to be equipped with 4.1 channel hi-fidelity stereo speakers, as well as a built-in sub-woofer. MSI added: ?Whether you are watching DVD or enjoying on-line 3D gaming, the L735?s crisp high pitched tones and deep, low pitched bass sounds in combination with our 17? WSXGA+ super sized mirror LCD screen (with 1680 x 1050 resolution) are bound to knock your socks off.?

Also worthy of our attention is the 1.3 million pixel web cam built into the L735 just above the screen. You no longer need to bring along an external camera or mess with the connection and wiring. In addition, to make converts out of desktop users, the L730 / L735 both provide separate numeric key pads. ?These make the notebook models the best desktop replacement solutions, and put our users who are accounting and finance professional at great ease?, according to MSI.

A built-in Digital TV Tuner is also on the list. The L730 / L735 are not just notebook computers, they are also a widescreen LCD TV. All you have to do is connect a DTV antenna and you can start watching digital TV programs right away. The L730 / L735 also come with infrared wireless remote control, making it a snap to change channel or adjust the volume. ?In addition, the DTV software that comes with the tuner allows you to pre-program and record a later program. You can record for as long as you like on the hard disk?s available space. It is now easier than ever before to enjoy your favorite programs, and you can even burn them onto a DVD using the built-in 8.5 GB DVD burner for sharing with your friends?, concluded the producer.
