MSI notebook unit to focus on gaming models

MSI senior vice president Henry Lu announced the company's notebook business is now focused on gaming models because these systems are more profitable:
Sources from the notebook industry pointed out that MSI's notebook shipments in 2011 decreased by at least 60% from 2010, while its all-in-one PC shipments in 2011 were also 70% below its original target, causing MSI to start reconsidering its personnel and product line up strategies.

Compared to the notebook business, MSI's motherboard business continues to perform steadily, while its graphics card business also seeing improvements in both shipment volume and ASPs, with ASPs even having a chance to break US$100, an increase of about 10%.

NZXT Cryo LX Aluminum Notebook Cooler Review

NZXT Cryo LX Aluminum Notebook Cooler Review

Introduction

With more and more laptop coolers passing through our doors, I have seen enough to get a basic feel for the market. Some coolers look like space ships with bulky plastic and rubber pieces and get surrounded by LEDs; some with and some without lighting control. If I was a teenager again, these things would all appeal to me, and at that point I know noise wasn't as much of an issue for me back then, but with lots of other things going on in the world around a PC, I like to see performance without making my ears bleed in the process.

While I was receiving coolers from Antec and Cooler Master, I asked NZXT for the Cryo LX to see what they have in store for the notebook cooling market. I mean we have just seen their LED kits, the Bunker, and those very nice looking wiring adapters, I figured they had to take some of that creativity into other products they produce, and NZXT seems more than happy to oblige me with my desire to want to see it.

Today we will be taking a close look at the Cryo LX, the "largest full aluminum notebook cooler". Not only does this notebook cooler offer an extruded aluminum construction, it also offers plenty of air flow. Even at first glance on the site or looking at the coolers packaging, it isn't hard to tell that NZXT is offering a classy looking addition to your desktop as well. I say we get to the specifics and key features of the Cryo LX, disassemble it a bit, and get to the testing to see if the "largest" cooler means the "best" notebook cooler.
