What you see above is MSI’s recently announced GT640 gaming laptop which the manufacturers are touting as the “world’s most powerful gaming notebook”.

Under the hood of this beast is a 1.6GHz Core i7 720QM processor and a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 with 1GB of dedicated RAM. Couple this with a 15.4″ 1680 x 1050 resolution display, up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 500GB of hard drive space, a Blu-ray burner, 2MP webcam, HDMI port, eSATA input and last but not least 7.1 channel audio output.

Now, there was no mention of a release date but considering it is shipping with Windows 7 preinstalled, we can only assume that it will go up for sale sometime around the software’s October 22nd release date.

It looks like MSI is not all about netbooks and laptops! The company has a 3-inch PMP ready to introduce to everyone. The MT-V656 is the device in question and it will offer you a 3-inch display (most likely finger friendly but unconfirmed so far), a silver casing, video output, FM tuner, voice recording capabilities, various media files support, 4GB of storage space upgradeable via memory card and support for gaming. The device will be available for just $42 which is a very affordable price but we have no idea when MSI will actually make it available. Would you get a MT-V656 PMP instead of the Zune HD or the iPod touch 3G?

MSI has big plans for the netbook business especially considering that Windows 7 is soon going to be available worldwide. The company plans to launch what looks to be a totally hot netbook next year. The U150 will use Intel’s Pine Trail chipset and will offer you a resistive touchscreen. We don’t have all the features just yet but the U150 already looks promising. We’ll be waiting for CES 2010 to see Intel’s Pine Trail chipset at work and we’re counting on more netbook makers to start planning for this new generation of touch-friendly netbooks which will be running Windows 7.

MSI will be unveiling a new netbook soon and it is called the MSI Wind U150 Notebook. What makes it so special? The new MSI Wind U150 netbook will make use of touchscreen technology as well as the new Pine Trail Atom platform. The new MSI netbook is expected to be unveiled at the CES.

MSI is hoping to be the first company to land the Pine Trail Atom since Intel has not officially launched the latest Atom processor in the market. The Pine Trail Atom seems to be one of the marquee features of this latest MSI Wind netbook since it reportedly shows improved graphic performance and improved power consumption.

And the other marquee feature is the touchscreen, 10-inch convertible U150 with Windows 7. But before all that happens, MSI will be unveiling the 12” Wind U210 which makes use of the AMD platform. It will be available in two variants: one with Windows XP, 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive retailing for about $379 and another running on Vista Premium for $429.

The U210 will be available in the U.S. this coming September.

We’ve known about MSI’s ultrathin X340 notebook since March and at the time, it looked like a very capable device. However, enough users must have had gripes about it because we were recently notified that MSI has made some hardware changes.

The X340 will come standard with an 8-cell battery, as opposed to the previous 4-cell, the device’s keyboard will be getting an update which Laptop Magazine says will make it “no longer act like a trampoline”. And finally, MSI will cut $100 off the X340’s price tag making it now available for $799.

Any buyers?

We have one more X-Slim laptop coming from MSI and we’re ready to show you its features. The X600 is an ultraportable, extra-slim laptop, ready to be taken anywhere you’re headed and you will be able to choose from to versions of it.

Version 1 will bring you a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Solo processor, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, Bluetooth, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics card, HDMI connectivity, three USB ports, a 15-inch screen and a six-cell battery. This version will cost $1,320 and it will be available in June in Europe.

Version 2 is cheaper as it will cost $1,120 and it will be available in June in Europe but for that price you’ll get a slower 1.2GHz Intel Celeron processor, 3GB of RAM and a 320GB HDD. Version 2 will also lose that Bluetooth connectivity so if you want it you should better go for version 1.

What will you choose?

Sure you could always choose one of its direct competitors, the Adamo from Dell or one of the X-Slim laptops from MSI, but for those of you with a bigger wallet, the Air is probably the best way to go.

The cheapest version will offer you a 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, a 9400M graphics card and a 120GB HDD. For $1,799 you get a 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, a 9400M graphics card and a 128GB SSD.
