Megabook L730, AMD Turion64 X2 TL-50 1600MHz, 17" WXGA TFT, 1024MB DDR2, 100GB, DVD SuperMulti, Gigabit Ethernet LAN, Windows Media Center Edition, black
As an expert in the dual core processor platform technology, MSI has led the industry in introducing two new models of 17" notebook computers featuring the AMD Turion64 X2 architecture, the L730. The Turion64 X2 is AMD's latest generation of highly efficient 64-bit dual core platform, which fully supports all 64-bit software applications available, including Vista, Microsoft's next generation Windows operating system. Users no longer need to worry about incompatibility between hardware vs. software.
AMD Turion64 X2 Dual Core Processor
To deliver true high performance computing power, the L730 not only use the highest performance AMD Turion64 X2 processor and DDR2 memory chips (expandable up to 2 GB), they are also equipped with 5400 RPM high speed hard disk to minimize data storage and access time. You can really feel the difference in stability and speed of the hard disk when doing graphics processing, retrieving large sized files, or burning an optical disk.
Advanced Design for Energy Efficiency and Quiet Operation
MSI's exclusive ACS (Advanced Cooling System) is a revolutionary heat dissipation technology. It enhances dissipation of heat inside the chassis by physically exchanging heat. When further coupled with ventilation holes and heat exchange conduction medium, ACS is capable of maintaining low operating temperature for extended operation. This way there is little need for the cooling fan to kick on, significantly reducing noise and conserving power at the same time. This is a desired feature for quiet user environment, such as when working late in the office, or when watching a DVD movie. The users will be better able to experience the "ultra silent" operation of MSI notebook computers.
The exclusive ACS heat dissipation technology is better than any of our competitors' equivalent. When working in conjunction with a large capacity 9-cell, long-lasting battery pack, the L730 can operate up to 4 hours long. You no longer have to carry another bulky battery or even a power cord with you when traveling away from the office, giving you less and making your trip a more enjoyable one.
17" Ultra Bright Wide Screen Mirror LCD
The L730 uses an ultra bright and high-precision mirror-like material to deliver vivid color saturation and incredible details and sharpness. Overall performance is crisp and life-like, giving you unparalleled visual enjoyment each and every time. In terms of screen aspect ratio, the L730 screen is of the optimum 16:10. In contrast to the traditional 4:3 screen ratio, the wider screen is unquestionably a better display medium for videos and photos. More importantly, the wider screen can display multiple windows in cascaded or tiled format. This significantly minimizes the time required to switch back and forth among windows or to scroll up and down a window itself. Users may use the Excel spreadsheet application to create tables and charts, while at the same copying and pasting them to a PowerPoint slide. Working more efficiently has never been easier!
DualView Dual-Screen Functionality
The L730 provides the DualView dual screen function. DualView supports video output to both the LCD screen and another externally connected display device such as projector or monitor. Two display equipments mean their refresh rates, resolution, and color quality can be adjusted separately and independently, while running separate software applications.
When running software applications, you can use one screen for PowerPoint presentation, while using another screen for Excel spreadsheet and looking up numeric data. Suddenly your work scope is no longer bound by the screen of your notebook computer, and is instead extended to the screen of a second externally connected device. This function gives you a broader perspective on your tasks, and also saves you from switching back and forth among different windows on the same screen. Working smarter means you can work less hard with greater efficiency!
4.1 Channel Surround Sound with Sub-Woofer
The L730 stops at nothing in pleasing those who demand the best. For audio and video entertainment the L730 uses hardware components with the highest specifications. It is the first to be equipped with 4.1 channel hi-fidelity stereo speakers, as well as a built-in sub-woofer. Our audio package gives you nothing short of a total immersion experience. Whether you are watching DVD or enjoying on-line 3D gaming, the L730's crisp high pitched tones and deep, low pitched bass sounds in combination with our 17" WSXGA+ super sized mirror LCD screen (with 1680 x 1050 resolution) are bound to knock your socks off!
Built-in Web Cam and Numeric Keypad
Especially worth noting is the 1.3 million pixel web cam built into the L730 just above the screen. You no longer need to bring along an external camera or mess with the connection and wiring.
In addition, to make converts out of desktop users, the L730 both provide separate numeric key pads. These make our notebook models the best desktop replacement solutions, and put our users who are accounting and finance professional at great ease.
Create a High-Quality, All-Around, Wireless Living Space

Whether you are at home, in the office, in a Café, or even traveling abroad on for business or pleasure, the L730 will get you on the Internet wirelessly every time. In addition, to create a high quality digital living space all around, the L730 also offers Bluetooth wireless transmission capability. Other mobile devices such as handset, PDA, earphones, GPS can all now get plugged into you computer wirelessly without the clutter of cables.
