To make the list of the top ten notebook manufacturers in the world this year, MSI will take part in the world's largest computer exhibition--Hannover's CeBIT, with an all new Corporate Identity Style and great products. MSI President Joseph Hsu notes that all of MSI's new products, including its notebooks, 10-inch Wind series, motherboards, graphics cards, All-in-one Wind Top models, auto-use computers, and industrial-use computers and servers will be displayed in booth E28, which with 616 square meters will be the largest in Hall 21. MSI's beautiful slender X-Slim notebook series, to be unveiled in Hannover, Germany, includes the X320, X340, and X600 models with 13 to 15-inch screens and comes in six dazzling colors.

Over the past year, MSI has been awarded Best Choice of the Year and Top 10 Gadgets at the world's three major computer shows, including Taipei's Computex and Las Vegas' CES. With these feathers in its cap, MSI will be unveiling its new logo at CeBIT in Hannover from
3 to 8 March as it strives to realize its goal of becoming one of the top ten notebook brand in the world this year and one of the top five within three years.

President Hsu explains that since its inception 22 years ago, MSI has striven to achieve perfection in its products, making it a world leader in such product lines as notebook computers, motherboards, graphics cards, and consumer electronics. To accelerate its march forward, MSI is focusing its energies on continuing to develop the best products possible, and positions itself internationally with the slogan Insist on the Best!

Hsu points out that the launching of its brand new CIS this year marks the start of a new era for MSI, so the company needs to maintain its position as one of the top two producers of motherboards and graphics cards in the world as it eyes the global notebook market.

Hsu points out that MSI is already among the top ten notebook brand names in Russia, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Taiwan, South Korea, and South Africa. This year, in addition to staying the course in those countries, MSI will strive to further penetrate the US, European, Chinese, and Asian Pacific markets, working in each area with the most outstanding marketing and channel corporations in brick-and-mortar, e-commerce, and telecommunications markets. After expanding the company's presence in these regions using various brand name, marketing, and promotional activities, MSI expects to become


---

one of the world's top ten notebook manufacturers this year and one of the top five within three.

Hsu states that MSI is also very confident about the success of its popular new AIO (All-in- one) nettops designed for people and businesses that appreciate the aesthetically pleasing. In the wake of the worldwide launching of the 19-inch Wind Top AP1900 in February, MSI will be showing its 19, 20, and 22-inch AIO models at CeBIT, computers that boast such advanced technologies as touch screens.

MSI Notebooks Marketing Director Sam Chern explains what it is that makes MSI products stand apart, the exhibition will include a cutting edge technology area, a digital life area, a multimedia area, a gaming area, and an overclocking area.

MSI will promote its G Series, the world's fastest gaming notebook and the first to break the
10,000 point 3Dmark barrier, and its complete multimedia entertainment E Series, but the stars at this year's exhibition will be the new ultra-slim X600, X340, and X320 in MSI's X- Slim Notebook Series, which boast 13 to 15-inch screens, and the full function 10-inch Wind Series. Chern indicates that the super slim X340 alone, which will be displayed in white, black, and champagne gold, will dazzle CeBIT visitors.

Cheng also asserts that MSI has no doubt that AIO nettops will be a hit in workplaces and homes alike. MSI set up a digital living area that resembles a futuristic home kitchen equipped with an AIO computer, like the Wind Top AE2200, that serves as both kitchen helper and entertainer, helping you cook creative dishes, look up recipes online, and tackle any number of other problems with just the touch of one finger on the touch screen.

Jason Lee, marketing director of motherboards and graphics cards, states that MSI will once again demonstrate its R&D prowess and unparalleled technical skills at the show. Lee is confident that MSI will continue to display better, more innovative product designs and market performance. It will display motherboards and graphics cards that fuse superb technology with digital entertainment and low power use.

The all-new X340 and X600 both feature Intel Ultra Low Voltage architecture for performance and power saving advantages. This is another new mark in the history of the notebook market!

X-Slim is the new product lineup this year from MSI. The product series aims for "Light, Slim, Aesthetic" product designs to challenge the senses of consumers and extremes of notebooks. After the X320 was introduced to the world, it has become a hot topic among consumers. Sam Chern, MSI's marketing director, mentioned that "Light, Slim, Aesthetic" is going higher up the list of consumers' notebook purchase decisions. As a result, MSI is leading the pack with X320 and will be further expanding upon the X-Slim series with more innovative ultra portable notebooks.

MSI Makes Its Way to the Top 4 Netbook Brands U115 Hybrid / U110 ECO are exhibited at CeBIT

Pictures are available on our media database

Netbooks are sweeping the market worldwide and MSI Wind Netbook is a favorite among consumers. MSI is now among the top 4 international netbook brands and the Wind Netbook - U100 was even the market leader in the industry in 2008 for
10" netbooks! MSI will have the entire netbook lineup at this year's CeBIT exhibition, and the latest U115 Hybrid and U110 ECO will also be making its appearance.

Sam Chern, MSI's marketing director, mentioned that according to research statistics, MSI is now ranked among the top 4 in netbook brands. This shows the high recognition in the MSI brand name and has won the consumers favors. Even more encouraging is that U100 is the market leading 10" netbook for 2008 over other products in this category.

Sam Chern further mentioned that the 10" form factor is becoming the mainstream among netbooks, and is still growing. We can foresee MSI becoming a competitive player in the netbook market during this fiscal year. MSI continues to invest and develop the netbook products, and has already introduced the business oriented U120 to the U100 and U90 lineup. The upcoming U115 Hybrid and U110 ECO will also be introduced to better-fit different consumer needs.

Within the market of netbooks, MSI has always played the role of the innovator and provided technological revolution for the netbook products. After leading the market with the U100 10" netbook in 2008, MSI announced the new product including U120, U115 Hybrid and U110 ECO netbooks. U120 is the first "WiMAX Ready" netbook in the market. U115 Hybrid is the world's first netbook with both SSD and HDD drives built-in, where the innovative dual storage design and ECO power saving technology extends the battery life of the netbook up to 12 hours* (with a 6cell battery)!

*12 hours battery life is tested using a 6cell battery and under ECO mode. Actual results may differ under different user conditions and product specifications.

The dual storage design of the U115 Hybrid offers you the pick of a 8GB or 16GB SSD matched to a 120GB or 160GB 2.5" SATA hard disk. As the U115 Hybrid's operating system is loaded on the SSD, boot times and performance are greatly increased. This also ensures that the operating system can run smoother as well. The SATA hard disk on the other hand provides you with all the storage you need. An unusual feature is the ability to temporarily shut down the SATA hard disk in ECO mode. All data access and storage is handled by the SSD instead, allowing the U115 Hybrid to achieve up to 12 hours of battery life.

The U110 ECO making its debut at CeBIT features the Atom processor on the Intel Menlow platform. With the MSI exclusive power saving design, the netbook features up to 9 hours of battery life when using a 6cell battery ­ the "Crown in Power Saver" among netbooks. In addition to the 9 hours of battery life, the U110 ECO is also fairly thin and light at just 1kg and the size of a piece of B5 paper (26cm x 18cm).

Not only that, the U110 ECO supports 802.11 b/g/n wireless networking and Bluetooth technologies.
