Inspired by high-end racecars, MSI´s new C Series notebook computers -- the CX640, CR640, CX480 and CR480 -- even includes an F1 racecar push start power button as well as an AC-in power jack designed to resemble a racecar fuel intake.

Along with the push start power button, MSI also incorporates a flat black case with a metallic brush finish that´s similar to luxury automobiles. It also comes with a touchpad with a crystal diamond finish and recessed speakers.

Additionally, the hotkeys on the C Series are integrated into the metal mesh strip above the keyboard and the DVD drawer button is streamlined.

The new generation C Series laptops also come with an all-new heat dissipation design, which places heat generating parts and components, like the processor, chipset, and graphics card, in the upper left part of the computer body.

The thermal block structural design then concentrates heat in that same area, so that the palm rest areas maintain a temperature on par with that of the human body to ensure comfort of use.

To extend battery time, MSI provides the ECO engine power saving technology, so with one touch; you can initiate the Turbo Battery to significantly extend battery time.

On the other hand, the ALS system, which adjusts screen brightness in accordance with ambient lighting, can also help to extend battery time when the computer is in standby mode.

However, the CX480 can operate for as long as 8.5 hours on battery power and can recharge to at least 80 percent power in about 60 minutes.

The C Series features Intel´s 2nd generation Core i processor and new generation Turbo Boost 2.0 technology to accelerate all cores.

For users who need more performance in graphics, the CX640 is a discrete-graphics model that features nVidia GeForce GT520M discrete graphics card with 1GBDDR3 and supports DirectX 11 for enhanced performance that automatically switches between graphics-intesive tasks and general, everyday tasks.

There´s also Quick Sync Video technology enhances multimedia file computing performance during conversion, synchronization, and compilation.

When it comes to audio, the new MSI C Series notebooks come with SRS PC Sound cinema-grade audio system.

On top of that, the notebooks also come with optional new USB3.0 ports as well as optional new generation Bluetooth 3.0, which boasts data transfer speeds of 24Mbps.

There´s also a Time Stamp software, which backs up or restores data with a touch of a finger. You don´t even have to turn your computer on to execute systems restoration.

The MSI new C Series notebooks is currently available and starts at a retail price of RM1,999 (with an Intel i5 processor).
