MSI EX300 Series Notebooks US Availability [MSI EX300-018US & MSI EX300-024US]

Since the initial press releases concerning MSI's EX300 entertainment
notebooks back in August there has been some speculation as to whether
they would ever eventually see a US release but we can confirm that both
MSI's MSI EX300-018US and MSI EX300-024US are indeed becoming available
US based consumers (the MSI EX300-018US having just become available
with the MSI EX300-024US being offered for pre-order).

Based on the PM45 + ICH9-M Express Chipset and powered by 2.0Ghz Penryn
P7350 Intel Centrino 2 Processors, both the MSI EX300-018US and the MSI
EX300-024US sport 13.3' WXGA (1200×800 resolution) TFT displays,
utilise ATI's DDR3 256MB Radeon HD3450 graphics and come with 4GB of
DDR2 RAM, 250GB SATA HDDs, integrated 802.11 a/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
V2.0+EDR connectivity and come with DVD Super Multi optical drives.

Additional features include built-in 3-in-1 card reader, embedded
fingerprint reader, a 2 megapixel webcam with microphone, and 3 x USB,
1x E-SATA(USB Combo), 1 x RJ45 and, naturally, HDMI output.

Bundled with Vista Premium and offering lightweight alloy construction
and measuring in at 11.9'� x 9.1'� x 1.18'� and weighing just 4.5 lbs,
the difference between both models appears to be merely the color finish
(blue or red).

The red MSI EX300-018US is already available to order via Amazon whilst
those looking to avail themselves of the blue MSI EX300-024US can place
pre-orders now though no actual date of shipping has, as yet, been
issued at the time of writing).
