Msi Pr201 Laptops

The MSI PR201 notebook falls in the Professional series of the MSI group. The PR201 is black, like other business notebooks, but has nice silver insides.

This gives a really neat and simplistic feel to it, and you won’t even find stickers of any kind on it. There is a Kensington security slot, VGA port, USB, LAN port, and an optical drive on the left side. The right side of the laptop has two USB ports, a modem port, an HDMI port, a PC card slot and a flash card reader. A few problems we had with this laptop was that firstly the touchpad has no side scrolls or multi-touch functions.

Even though this laptop may be going for a plain and neat look, things like that may be beneficial at times. This MSI also lacks a FireWire port. We ran a series of benchmarks to see the performance of this laptopS.

PC Mark 05: CPU Score - 5800, Memory Score - 4885, Graphics Score - 2453, HDD - 4461, Overall - 4795. 3D Mark 05: CPU Score - 7951, Overall - 1383.

Maxxon CineBench R10 (CPU Score) - 4694. FarCry (fps) (640x480, low detail) - 51.41. The screen quality is just about decent and if it were a rating on 10 we would give it a 6.5, whereas the audio would score a 7. There are two things that stand out in this laptop.

One is the battery life: It lasted a whole 3 hours 27 mins on high performance with full brightness. The second being it’s weight: 1.8 kg. The laptop is definitely business oriented and has great processing power. But then it also lacks some features like a better touchpad and a better optical drive also.
