MSI’s C series family now has two new members with the launch of the MSI CX620MX and the MSI 420MX.

There’s no big difference when we talk about performance between these two models, but the CX620MX has a larger screen. It comes with a 15.6 inch HD LCD display with 1366 x 768 resolution. Under the hood, it hides an Intel Core processor and a HM55 chipset, which means it offers enough performance and low energy consumption. The graphics will be provided by an ATI Mobility Radeon HD545v with 512MB of DDR3 VRAM.

The MSI CX420MX has almost the same specification, but it features a smaller 14 inch LCD display with 1366 x 768 resolution.

Other features include 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, 1.3 megapixel webcam, HDMI, 2 x USB 2.0 port, microphone and headphone port, Bluetooth  and other.

ViewSonic’s latest notebook, the ViewSonic ViewBook Pro, has just entered the market. The notebook has a 13.3″ LED backlit with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and it comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, 320 hard disk drive, integrated DVD drive.

The ViewBook Pro also include Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, a 1.3 megapixel camera, VGA, HDMI output, multitouch trackpad, card reader, audio jacks, ExpressCard slot and its 6-cell Li-Ion battery should keep it awake for about 8 hours.

So the ViewSonic ViewBook Pro notebook is not bad at all, considering that it packs so many features in its thin case. The notebook retails at Amazon for $889.99

Finding a laptop anywhere in the $300-$400 price range is a real achievement, so it’s hard to believe you can have one for only $65.

But the Chinese from Creation Tech have really pulled it off. Their CTEB7G laptop retails for $65, but is far from being among the most competitive machines on the market. It features a 7-inch, 800×600 pixel display, a weak 33 Mhz processor, 128 Mb of RAM and just 2 Gb of flash memory, as storage. The CTEB7G does have WIFI, 3 USB ports and runs Windows CE.

This barebone laptop could be useful if you;re only thinking of using it to run word and occasionally open a web page, but don’t even think it’s capable of running advanced applications like Adobe Photoshop, for example.

It’s safe to say there’s nothing spectacular about this laptop, except for its $65 price tag. Unfortunately, yu won’t find the CTEB7G laptop anywhere outside China.
