MSI's EX720 is a large beast of a machine — big enough to be qualified as a media-centred laptop. It doesn't really make a big deal of this, in fact only a few media control buttons near the screen and the small sticker showing it's 'Dolby Home Theater' certified really give it away, otherwise it's just a big, 17-inch laptop.

The screen is passable, being glossy and not particularly bright. It's a lower resolution than one would hope at 17 inches, coming in at 1440x900. The requisite webcam and mic are at the top of the screen, while beneath it on the chassis are the aforementioned media controls, buttons to turn the Bluetooth on and off, wireless and webcam functions, and two quick launch buttons — all of them touch sensitive.
Featured here is also MSI's 'Eco' button, which simply gives quick access to MSI's built-in battery profiles for different applications such as gaming and movie watching. As usual, some of the presets seem completely out of kilter with what you'd actually want, so you may wish to customise this yourself — or at least, you would if MSI included any tool to do so. As it stands, you'll have to use the Windows power management utility, which never lists all of MSI's options in one go, requiring you to first set the power option through the Eco button, then edit the profile through the Windows tool.

The keyboard isn't the best we've used, the coating in particular caused fingers to slide over it more than usual, resulting in more typos than strictly necessary. Keys on the right-hand side between the main keypad and the numpad are also horizontally squashed, although most people use their smaller fingers to press these keys so it may not present much of a problem. Still, it seems the only reason they are squashed is that MSI has installed a strip on the left-hand side that only has one function — to house the tiny power button, which realistically could have been moved anywhere else.
The trackpad is usable enough, although curiously the Synaptics software isn't bundled for configuration, nor is there any indication it's a Synaptics touchpad. While the driver is easy enough to find for the experienced user, the novice is going to wonder why the touchpad scroll function doesn't work in every application, and why every time they type text seems to randomly select, or the cursor jumps to a random spot on the screen and they start typing in a different area. The answer is that the touchpad sensitivity is too high, and there is an option to compensate for palm swiping in the Synaptic drivers — so we're curious why MSI did not include them.
The wrist rest of the laptop is brushed aluminium, with the mouse buttons being a part of the wrist rest itself. The rest of the chassis is a mixture of matte silver and black, except for the area around the touch-sensitive buttons which is piano black, with speakers set on either side.

The speakers do attenuate slightly on loud volume, but the laptop features a small subwoofer which overcomes the typically weedy laptop sound. While an admirable volume is achieved by the speakers, they are nonetheless still laptop speakers, and an external set or a set of headphones will gain you much better sound quality.
Features
During the Windows Vista set-up we were introduced to something we'd not seen before — an option to not install some of the crapware included with the laptop, including an 'Office Trail Work8.5 for English [sic]' (which turned out to be a full version of Microsoft's Works suite as far as we could tell), and ReAllusion's CrazyTalk. While Ulead's BurnNow was in the list, it was unable to be deselected.
