Taipei-MSI recently added the CX705MX, a supersized 17.3″ laptop equipped with the ATi Radeon HD 545V discrete graphics card, to its Classic notebook computer series. It is clad in color film print (with MSI’s exclusive classy cross hatch design) for extra protection against scratches and wear. The 45-degree beveled edge construction is unique to MSI. Mobile computing was never so classy.
MSI Marketing Director Sam Chern points out that the CX705MX comes equipped with the ATi Radeon HD 545V discrete graphics card for excellent multimedia performance and that, despite the oversized screen, this notebook is a lightweight, tipping the scales at less than 3kg. Add to that the stylishly elegant body, graced with MSI’s own cross hatch design, the CX705MX allows you and your friends to enjoy an audio/visual feast whenever and wherever you like.

It’s not easy to launch a new product category, especially if devices don’t have a magically-delicious hook, but that’s not why ARM thinks it’s taken so long to deliver the smartbook. In an interview with ZDNet UK, VP Ian Drew said Adobe’s blame was undeniable — Flash didn’t deliver ARM optimization in time for subnetbooks to be viable. Compounding the issue, the tablet craze has manufacturers all atwitter, he said, diverting smartbook resources to the iPad party instead. As far as netbooks are concerned, Drew cited poor adoption of Linux; he reminded us ARM smartbooks can’t do x86. Asked if Atom (which can) might be the real reason for delay, he said absolutely, positively no way. The executive said manufacturers apparently hadn’t brought up that idea even once. Guess we’ll have to take his word on that one.
