MSI PR210 (green) Reviews

May.21, 2008 in MSI

Manufacturer’s Description An elegant and slim design in a fashionable colour! Moving away from the cold and impersonal notebook designs and colours commonly found today, the PR210 YA Edition will provide an invigorating and fresh new way to compute. Coming in a number of lively and vivid colours (Denim Blue, Coral Pink, and Wasabi Green), users will stand out from the crowd and express their own individual flair. The 12″ ACV (Amazing Crystal Vision) Widescreen Display measures in at 30 cm in length and 23cm in width, along with a weight of 1.8 kg (including battery), PR210 YA Edition is very portable. Moreover, ACV technology also gives you the most detailed and intricate images, resulting in high saturation and high definition quality for a luxurious visual sensation that’s easy on the eyes. Even after long periods in front of the PR210 YA Edition, your eyes won’t feel uncomfortable

Available in blue, pink, and green, the MSI PR210 seems destined to appeal to users who aren’t excited by the looks of 12.1-inch systems from Lenovo and Toshiba but still want a relatively portable laptop. The PR210’s attractive metallic cover and full feature set certainly seem a steal for its list price of $1,000. In fact, our primary complaint about the bulky ultraportable lies in its superbudget AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor, which failed to exceed the middling performance of the less-expensive Averatec 2371.

MSI PR210 (green) Reviews From cnet

The good: Inexpensive; lengthy battery life; choice of case colors; TV tuner and HDMI port; two-year warranty.

The bad: Underpowered AMD CPU limits performance; heavier than similar laptops; overly reflective screen.

The bottom line: The colorful, 12.1-inch MSI PR210 offers a decent feature set and great battery life, but at least one similar laptop costs less.
