It is almost time to go back to school, and with it a slew of supplies are being bought. One item that has been trending lately is the laptop. Some schools are using them on a regular basis, and at home they’re replacing the desktop for homework use. The trick is to find a notebook that is powerful enough to utilize all the functions needed for school, but also be a good bargain. MSI

The MSI EX630 is a place to start, and might be a notebook you want to look at for going back to school.

Processor - AMD Turion X2 RM-70(2.00GHz)

Screen - 16″ WXGA

RAM - 3GB

Hard Drive - 250 GB

Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS

Video Memory - 256MB DDR3

The Good - While not the cheapest laptop available, the MSI EX630 is a notebook that’s a bargain for what you get. There are a wide array of ports available with it - SD card reader, wired/wireless internet options, fingerprint scanner, HDMI port. The LCD screen has a nice, crisp display. For those who like a full number pad this notebook has one.

The Bad - Has a pretty low battery life, but it’s to be expected with a notebook this size. The software that comes standard with the notebook has very little documentation, so some technical know how is required.

Bottom Line - The MSI EX630 is a laptop that you really can’t go wrong with. The large screen might sway people from it, but if you like a big screen then it’s fine. The price tag again is larger than other notebooks out there, but you’re getting much stronger components as a result. With back to school, your kids are going to probably be using more extensive programs on it than you might realize.
