MSI MS-1037 laptop
Japan's MSI has built a 17-inch laptop with atypical flexibility in its configuration. Though the video card in the MS-1037 is restricted to a 256MB GeForce Go 7600, users can choose from three levels of CPU performance: a Core Solo, a Core Duo or a Core 2 Duo, allowing potentially drastic savings or speed boosts. The hard drive likewise appears to offer plenty of choice, with the option to install virtually any 2.5-inch SATA product. Accessories on the laptop include Bluetooth, FireWire and a six-in-one card reader, as well as both PC Card and ExpressCard slots. Prices begin at 136,986 yen ($1,154). [via Akihabara News]
