The MSI EX625 Thread

Sorry by contrast ratio i meant that the screen on notebookcheck gives a 160:1 contrast. Another laptop with twice the price however will have a contrast of like 600+:1. Regardless though at half the price, and about 6.5k-7k for benchamarks its about 65-70% the performance of a sager 8662... Its quickly running out of stock too.



Sounds reassuring. Thanks do you know if it will be faster than old gen processors... say the t7700?

I would say faster because of the FSB 1066Mhz.

What does the FSB mean?

Front Side Bus.

Nah, I really doubt a boost from 800MHZ to 1066MHZ on the front side bus is going to out pace 400mhz clock speed.

Clock speed is overrated

Clock speed is overrated

Only till a certain extent, faster is always better in my book but the stock CPU is not that limiting.
I wish it came with a factory OC option like the GT627

O so i guess its a shame that the ex625 doesn't come with the OC option... now i know.

Even without the OC it's still pretty good.

Congrats man! Let us know when you get it we would love to hear your impressions

Right that was my point. When comparing a T7700 (as bestbacon mentioned) to P7350, the clock speed does not really matter. Of course if it was 2.0 vs 2.8, thats a big enough difference to matter. The heatsink is so small on this laptop, I wouldn't dare want MSi to have an OC option for it.
