14 DAY TRIAL // Micro-Star International is one of the companies that adopted AMD's Fusion platforms for some of their laptops, in this case the X370, which has begun shipping in North America.
While most laptops today are still powered by Intel's solutions, there are some that use AMD hardware, especially now that Fusion APUs are selling.
Micro-Star International is one of the companies that prepared such machines, and it looks like one of them is now ready to land in users' homes.
The product in question is the MSI X370, which has come to be on sale in North America, for the price of 599.99.
It is a 13.4-inch notebook based on the dual-core E-350 accelerated processing unit, which has a clock speed of 1.6 GHz and the Radeon HD 6310 built-in graphics.
“We designed the X370 for those who want a fully functioning notebook in a compact form, with long battery life,” noted Andy Tung, vice president of sales for MSI US.
“Most of us think of battery life in terms of convenience: time away from our office or power cord. It’s innovators like Smallbean that remind us that longer battery life also means using less power, which is what truly makes a difference in rural areas, and around the world.”
4 GB of DDR3 are present, along with a HDD whose storage capacity is of 500 GB. What's more, SRS Premium Sound Speakers were implemented, as was a 1.3 megapixel webcam and 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN.
“The MSI X370 is the perfect design for our use in areas where energy is scarce. You can’t use just any notebook in these conditions,” stated Sean Hewens, founder and executive director of Smallbean.
“This project is coming to life because of the functionality that MSI created in its X Series notebooks.”
