MSI X460, X460DX Laptops Highly powerful, highly portable and ultra slim

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
MSI introduced back in early July (the 6th to be exact winknudge.gif ) its new generation X460 and X460DX notebook computers with optional Intel Core i7 quad core processor and the latest data transfer technologies, including Intel Wireless Display, Bluetooth 3.0, and USB 3.0. The X460 tips the scales at just 1.98 kg and is less than one-inch thin. Both laptops mark the beginning of a new era in light, powerful laptops.

The 14-inch X460, for example, is less than 1” thick and tips the scales as just 1.98 kg—currently the lightest Intel Core i7 quad core processor packing laptop out there. Also worthy of note, a second internal hard drive is optional with the X460 and X460DX to greatly enlarge storage capacity and if you go with the optional SSD hard drive, you’ll kick up system performance. This pair of laptops packs plenty of punch.

Note: the X460DX comes with Intel Core i5-2410M processor and nVidia GeForce GT540M discrete graphics card. It also supports the latest DirectX 11 for powerful graphics performance.

Dual graphics card switching: The X460DX also supports MSI GPU Boost technology, so when it’s processing high load programs, the system automatically switches over to discrete graphics card mode to provide powerful graphics processing, but when performing general word processing tasks or surfing the Internet, it automatically cuts to the power-sipping integrated graphics chip mode, striking the ideal balance between performance and battery life. The X460DX comes with a graphics card switch indicator light next to the power button to keep you better informed about what’s happening under the hood.


Both machines are now available stateside between $800-$1100!

???? it all depends on the configuration - maxing out the specs, the X460DX would be higher than its sister model

Well I would take the specs from the press release with a few grain of salt laugh4.gif

The X460DX starts with a core i3 and minimalist of ram in real life
