MSI
MSI introduced several new notebooks with our favorites listed below.
The MSI S262 is designed for the road warrior as it features a magnesium aluminum alloy construction while weighing in at 1.9kg with the standard 4-cell battery. The system is designed around the Intel 945GM chipset with support for the Core Duo/Solo series and comes with a 12.1 inch WXGA (1280x800) display.
The S271 is a Turion 64 X2 based notebook designed to compete with 945GM/Core Duo systems. It also has a 12.1 inch WXGA display and includes Radeon Xpress 1150 graphics. We are expecting to see this notebook available for purchase within the next month.
The MSI Megabook L735 is also based on the Turion 64 X2 but features a 17 inch WSXGA+ (1680x1050) display, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics, and a built-in camera with TV Tuner for the multimedia enthusiast.
Packard Bell
Packard Bell is still around and had several notebooks based on the Turion 64 X2 being displayed in the AMD booth. The EasyNote MV61 is one such model and features a 15.4 inch WXGA display with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 graphics.
ASUS
The ASUS F2J is based on the Intel 945PM chipset with full support for the Intel Core Duo/Solo processor lineup. The unit features a 15 inch display, Radeon X1400 graphics, hard drive options up to 120GB, and DVD-RW drive. This notebook is Single-Sign-On (SOS) approved and features the ASUS Security Protect Manager, TPM and RF Biometric Fingerprint capability along with a liquid spill-proof keyboard. To top it off the notebook also has a built-in high resolution web cam for wire free communication.

I have an old ECS mainboard, and it worked great (except for some restarts when gaming over 12 hours :D )lewisc - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
MSI - 'Angelic Quality, Heavenly Performance'. Well I don't know about anyone else, but I've been looking for a graphics card for quite some time that flies better with the Big Guy.What exactly is angelic about a computer product?!

Good thing from ASrock for us people suck in agp world wanting a conroe.Rock Hydra - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
Yeah, I hope the AGP/PCIe is implemented in the same manner as the ULI chipsed does. Though, I'm less interested in AGP, and WAY more interested in DDR. Though...what would the DDR2 800 or 667 Equivalence be to DDR? Would i have to get DDR800 or DDR667, and does something like that even exist?Strunf - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
The FSB is either 800 or 1066, soo the DDR and DDR2 have to be 400 or 533...its actually written on the boards DDR400 or DDR2 667.Performance wise I would say DDR400 is on pair with DDR2 533.
