MSI C-Series launched in the U.S

MSI is launching five 16″ to 17″ laptops that come in various hardware flavors (see table in the full-post). They all have relatively similar CPUs but you have the choice between an Nvidia chipset and GPU or an SIS chipset and an ATI GPU… I clearly don’t see why in the world MSI would build five of these instead of two, just choose the best configurations, make it less confusing for buyers and save costs on storage, assembling and so on… [msimobile]

The new ViewSonic VNB101 may be rightly accused of aping the EeePC S101 a little too closely, but if you’re going to copy something, it might as well be something sexy. Netbooks News have gone hands-on with an early model, noting a multicard reader, space for a 3G SIM card, and a 3400mAh Lithium-Polymer battery, which should deliver about 5 hours of juice and degrade more slowly over time than its Li-Ion counterparts. Pricing in Taiwan is set for around $485, and for that you’ll get your standard dosage of Atom N280, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD inside and a red, black or champagne paintjob on the outside. Europeans can look for these later this year, but with no word of a US release, you’ll have to make do with the video past the break.

Not satisfied with a gaming laptop that can be maxed out with a top-end Core 2 Extreme Quad processor and dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M graphics? Then how about a red gaming laptop that can be maxed out with a top-end Core 2 Extreme Quad processor and dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M graphics? That, as you might have deduced, is the latest option available on the “all powerful” Alienware M17x laptop, which takes the red accents already found on the laptop and runs with ‘em (check the gallery below for a closer look). Of course, “special editions” rarely come free, and this new Nebula Red color option is no exception, with it setting you back an extra $99 on top of the laptop’s $1,799 base price.
