It MSI FX400 is the first notebook we have tested boasts NVidia Optimus which basically has a discrete graphics and a GPU embedded as HD Intel graphics technology. Click the link to see the full review after the jump.

With a matte finish on the cover together with some sort of design with texture (stretching of unity to the palm rest), the FX400 seems a little elegant but nothing too enormous scandal. Even so, corrects the usual problem with smudges and fingerprints.

The keyboard features full chiclet style keyboard while seem to be shrunk a little Center when there is still enough space. It is even more convenient to use even when you're typing. There is an additional column of keys on the right side to include the page scrolls (pages above, for Dwn pages, etc.) that may be confusing, because the keyboard layout has been altered.

The trackpad is relatively wide and spacious, drain a little to the left and clearly separate left and right clickers. The trackpad is a pimpled to give you better control and there is a specific button only in the upper left corner to disable tracing.

14-Inch screen is bright and crisp but uses outside 1366 x 768 pixels. Why most notebooks of (14 & above) large settle today so that the resolution is still open to debate.?

MSI collaborated with THX sound & speakers engineering on this system. Sound quality is excellent and audio is crips even if volume is not a little moderate side.

* The specifications on the laptop sticker indicates 4 GB RAM (2x2GB) but Spectrum shows only 2 GB. It seems a 2 GB RAM stick was removed from the slot. Probably because it is only a drive engineering and review. Available has a slightly different specifications.

Drive performance is good. Evaluation of Windows experience provides the i5 CPU of a sub-score 6.8 core while NVidia GeForce GT 325 earned a sub-score 6.0 in gaming.

There is a specific button on the keyboard to change the system to optimize viewing movies or games in 3D mode. Button Turbo (P1) sits at the side of the power button in the middle that cranks discrete graphics card performance.

The inclusion of an eSATA and HDMI port, as well as GigaBit Ethernet is great, but lacks support for USB 3.0.

6-Cell battery can do only around 2.5 hours on a single charge when using NVidia graphics. You can extend to more than 3 hours when using graphics technology integrated.
