MSI is apparently on a roll lately. The company seems to be enjoying many firsts this week.
We managed to spot one of the company’s newest netbooks powered by the much-anticipated AMD Brazos 2.0 platform.
We’re talking about an urealeased CPU, called AMD E2-1800, that has two cores working at 1,700 MHz. It also comes with 2 x 512 KB of Level 2 Cache and has 64 Bit support.
The maximum heat dissipation is rated at a very modest 17 watts TDP, while the integrated memory controller supports DDR3-1333 memory.
The integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU) is called Radeon HD 7340 and works at a default speed of 523 MHz, but since it benefits from Turbo technology, it can clock itself up to 680 MHz.
The E2-1800 is a replacement for the well-known E-450. The young brother comes with 50 MHz higher frequency and better graphics. The consumption is much lower and, most importantly, it comes with USB 3.0 support.
It is likely built at TSMC’s FAB as it has a 40 nm technology inside.
As for the rest of the netbook, it can handle up to 8 GB of system memory and has Wireless N and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR. The LAN adapter is a simple 10/100 Mb/s one.
On the connectivity side, MSI’s L2700 netbook comes with three USB 3.0 ports and an SD Card Reader.
The screen is 11.6” in size and the resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels.
It weighs 1.3 Kg, which is almost 2.9 pounds and the dimensions are 297 by 190 by 24-31 millimeters. In imperial, these are 11.69” by 7.48” by a max of 1.2”.
The pricing sits around the 400 USD mark. That’s around 300 EUR for the European customers.
