MSI : There�s no question that AMD�s new Fusion Zacate platform is pretty killer when it comes to ultraportables or notbooks (as we like to call �em), but there�s no reason the affordable, solid-performing APU couldn�t power a budget 15.6-inch system, right? Well, that�s certainly the way a few laptop manufacturers see it. Following in the footsteps of Toshiba�s Satellite C655D, MSI�s decided to cram its 15.6-inch CR650 with AMD�s latest Fusion APU. Equipped with a Zacate E-350 CPU with Radeon HD 6310 graphics on the same die (the same chip in the HP dm1 we just reviewed), there�s no doubt the rig can handle full HD and light games without a hiccup. We�re not exactly drooling over the design, but it does have the basics, including a DVD drive, six-cell battery, HD webcam, and speakers that claim superior SRS sound. It will also be configurable with 250, 320, or 500GB hard drive and DDR3 RAM.There�s no word on the price just yet, but our guess it should ring up at under $600 when it finally hits shelves.
