You need them sophisticated. You need them sleek. You need them sexy. And you wish them not make a hole in the pocket. We are now talking about the laptops and the MSI demands to incorporate all those aforementioned aspects. Let us see if the MSI Megabook S271 makes up to that claim.

This sleek laptop arrives in complete black matt finish. The”Cute”, is the first word, that this laptop has earned for itself soon after taking the notebook out of its box. The MSI name is embedded in the centre of the laptop, with a circle of silver around it. Truly speaking, the name is actually spoiling the looks of this ultra-sleek laptop. Weighing about 2 Kg, it felt very light when compared to a previous laptop, ACI Matrix that was released previously, which was approximately around 3 Kg. I am little bit inclined towards these light weight notebooks, as they define the word ‘portability’ in real. However, more often these ultra-portable notebooks miss out several features and are very low in terms of performance. This is where the MSI is struggling to strike the correct balance between the performance and the weight.

Pros

Has a decent performance, Good value for the money, Sleek, Good battery life and Light weight.

Cons

No Webcam, only 512 MB of System memory.
