What's Hot

Crisp and clear display, responsive touchpad, built-in webcam, quick launch buttons, decent battery life

What's Not

Struggles with demanding applications, a very plain look and feel, poor viewing angle of display

The Final Word

The MSI MegaBook EX600 is a solid, but far from outstanding unit. It will handle most basic tasks with ease, but will struggle with more demanding applications.
