Huh?

£700 for the 12" one, it's a teeny tiny white miracle :p (okay, you need a bit more ram in it but that's next to nothing at crucial anyway..)

shame he's not returned. He might have been a valuable blokey to have around :(

Actually, I think the point is that you were way off base in your assessment of the machine and in the comparisons you elected to draw. You also DID elect to call into question the integrity of Hexus' review process, and on the basis of a flawed assessment. BTW, I have NO official involvement with Hexus, MSI, Majestic 12 or any other grand conspiracy :P. Shame really, I could do with a hobby... :D If I were working for Hexus, and someone accused me of being "paid to big up" a product in a review, I might be a tad tetchy in my response as well.

Jeremy,


I don't want to get in to a heated debate about any of this with you.

Simply - we saw this notebook when in MSIs offices and I requested some pictures, because we have heard they may well be shipping it as a barebone unit. Of course our readers are interested in that.

We don't work with Sony, Tosh or any of the tier one notebook players - but more so ones targetted to the audience, such as SavRow, Alienware, And other similar notebooks

MSI do not advertise with HEXUS.

No problem - We like the fact you Format people read the news first on HEXUS :heckle: :heckle:

yes :D

Well I'd still like one, as it looks really very nice.

when are these out in the uk and how much? i have an acer 1502lmi with a travelstar 7k60 7200 rpm hardrive and 1gig of memory 15" screen runs games great and weighs a ton i would sell it and buy this beauty if the price is right.i have been looking at quite a few 12" screen models of varying makes and think this is the one for me.

has anyone got one of these.

I'm stuck between getting the S260 or S270

I'd love to hear more.

Battery life and graphics card are of detailed interest to me on both models (eg: how they perform)

What's a pity though is that neither the 260 or 270 have TV-Out. :(
