The specs you want with a 3800+ and x800 can only be found in a DTR.

I think Snorre is right about it being an MSI m635. I'm pretty sure this will be offered under Averatec brand in the US. Again, to bad about the low res. screen.

Not a real big fan of Averatec. Their products are good but mostly geared for low end bargain consumers. The M635 looks good but i'd at least like 128 Mb x700. I could live with the screen and the lv 3000+.

Too bad it comes with such a bad screen, otherwise it would be something to consider.

Arima is better feature wise aswell, it has bluetooth and TV-tuner. But the m635 will probably come at an oustanding price.

The notebook comes for 1500 Euro (with 1024 MB Ram) in Germany ...

This question is a little of topic, but I'm guessing Sykra is from Germany, can anyone tell me why you can find the MSI S270 only in Germany same as the MSI S260, nice laptops, 12.1" and nice looks, too bad the features are not so good, well I would like to know why Germany is always ahead of everyone selling things, and the worst part is they don't deliver to the US.

@xchus:

No, i'm not from Germany but from "their" neighbour Austria.

Just found out, that next week, a discounter will offer this notebook for about 1399 Euro.

XGA resolutions is perfect for a 12" screen, and the integrated ATI Xpress 200 graphics is twice as fast as Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 and also perfect for a ultraportable. The chassis is also made up of solid magnesium alloy so it's an incredible ultraportable priced very reasonable in my opinion

I would like to get that S270, but I don't seem to find it here in the US and I try writing emails to the german sites and only one site replied saying that they don't ship to the US. Snorre if you know more about where to buy it and that ship it to the US and when is it available, it would be great. I appreciate all the info given. I don't like that it does not have a S-Video output, I mean thats always important.
post #31 of 53
MSI has a good standard warranty aswell, 2 year pickup and return, just like Acer. I wonder how do you contact MSI to ask if and when they might supply the s270 to the US market? I think I could have use for the s270 while waiting and deciding on a powerfull DTR notebook. Price is low too!

Be aware that Gericom is the reseller of that notebook!
Their service has a very bad reputation.

I just know I read somewhere X2 showcased the MSI megabook s270 at CES. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe the source got the info wrong.

Why X2

Ok, so it will be available in the US shortly then. However, I noticed this lame comment from your link:

The prospects: We're not keen on X2’s choice of processor--the typically underperforming AMD Mobile Athlon 64. However, the Mega Book S270 should do the trick for anyone longing for a stylish ultraportable minus the high cost usually attached to lightweight laptops.

By Joshua Goldman, staff editor, Computer Shopper
Underperforming, what load of crap is that? We all know that the Mobile Athlon 64 series perform very well indeed, so I wonder what rock Mr. Goldman has been hiding under the last year...
post #39 of 53
I think that he's been hiding under a rock made of money that once was in Intel's hands.
post #40 of 53
Hopefully X2 will release that laptop soon. I crave it, I want it, I need it......
