MSI MS-1029 Reviews
MSI-1029 Notebook Review (pics, specs)
This laptop isn’t perfect but what laptop is? Would I recommend this? Yes I would, especially to the buyers that don’t have a fat wallet to spend $1,900 for a gaming notebook with familiar specs. If you don’t care about the MS-1029’s simple looks then the MS-1029 would be great for you.
Review: Unleaded’s - MSI MS-1029 - Notebookforums
The release of MSI Computer’s MS-1029 was highly anticipated by many as it represented one of the first laptops mating AMD’s new Turion processor with an ATI Mobility Radeon x700 graphics processor. As such we were excited to put this system to the test when we received our first unit. We also hoped to find out if MSI, who is a more recent player in the ODM laptop space, could maintain the reputation it has earned over the years manufacturing motherboards and other components. MSI was also responsible for the m510c (now badged MS-1003) which drew very positive reviews for build quality and performance. The MS-1029 certainly had a lot to live up to and we’ll share our impressions following testing.
Is 64-bit Mobile Computing More Promise Than Reality? | MobilityGuru
magine my delight when MSI sent me one of their MS-1029 barebones notebooks to review. Somewhere in the back of my consciousness I knew about these things, but I never really had a chance to touch and mess around with one of them. Within the limits of the notebook’s barebones configuration and form factor, you can actually pick the CPU, memory and disk drive you want to install. Don’t want wireless networking and Bluetooth? Shun those options. Wow!
