Enjoyable Great Performance and Long Battery Life

The CX623 has MSI GPU boost which is equipped with NVIDIA Optimus Technology. The MSI GPU Boost Technology can automatically switch the mode to achieve great graphics performance and superior battery life. While you are editing images or conducting graphics-intensive programs, this smart technology turns on which enables smoother operations. For other daily works, graphics mode is off and therefore you can enjoy a longer-lasting battery life.

 

 

The Joy of Stylish Design

Classic Cross-Hatch Design


msi's concise and refined classic cross-hatch design uses high-tech color film print technology for a dazzling look. The sparkling, scratch-resistant enamel provides a high degree of rigidity. Under different light sources, this finish will emit a multitude of color variations that create sparkling visual effects and evoke a minimalist undertone of taste and style.

 

 

 

 

Easy-to-Carry Thin and Light Design

Abandoning the stereotype of thick-and-heavy traditional notebook, msi CX623 offers thinner and lighter solution for more convenient usage. Furthermore, it is easier for you to take it on the move.

 

 

msi Chiclet Keyboard

The stylish chiclet keyboard design reduces typing errors and increasing comfort, when compared to regular keyboards. In addition, the chiclet keyboard is designed to damp key-press sounds. Whether typing or gaming, the chiclet keyboard means you no longer have to fret about disturbing those around you with keyboard clicks and clatter.

 

 

 

 

 

Exclusive Color Design

Exclusive msi classic colors allow you to effortlessly show off your more noteworthy traits. Succinct and fashionable silver, low-key and reticent black and bold and elegant gold clearly distinguish unique personality traits.
