MSI X460 (X460-095AU) laptop
05.02.12
Weighing in at just under 2kg and housing an Intel Core i7 CPU, the 14in — and relatively slimline — X460 from MSI is perfect for mobile users who don't want to sacrifice speed, and who don't want to pay more than $1600 to do so. It's a... 2GHz, Intel Core i7-2670QM quad-core CPU, 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, a 120GB Intel solid state drive (SSDSA2CW120G3) and a 7200rpm, 500GB hard drive (WD5000BEKT-22KA9T0). These are good times for these tests and they scale well when compared to other notebooks that we've seen with quad-core Core i7 CPUs, such as the ASUS N55SF and
HP Pavilion dv7-6013tx. In our Blender 3D rendering and iTunes MP3 encoding tests, the laptop recorded 22sec and 46sec, respectively.
