Basicaly,...which one is the smallest model?, usually the MSX2 and higher models are bigger (NMS8235!  ); s I guess the smallest will be a MSX1...
Edit:
...and the OCM doesn't counts...  |

The Toshiba HX10 is a little one: 370 x 245 x 60 mm / 2,8 kg
maybe Spectravideo SV-318 and SVI-728 too...

I guess the CASIO PV7 is the smallest MSX around... But other CASIOs are also very small.

It's Not the Size that Matters, it's how you use it  |

Wow!, smaller than a centrino mobile! 
...but, hey!, the Casio PV-7 it's the only one MSX with 8Kb RAM, that's why it weights so little...  |

Well, then which is the biggest one?
Maybe some pictures of the smallest & largest machines here. For comparing. |

Without separate keyboard, my vote goes to the Philips NMS8235
 
Now we need to scale the images... |

The docking station for the PV-7 is optional, it's not part of the computer. So you can not compare it to the 8235.

About docking stations, as the one shown in the above picture of the CASIO PV7, are there others for MSX computers? CASIO has several of them, but did other manufacturers create docking stations for specific MSX models?
SVI produced docking stations too, but for the SVI 8XX series (non-MSX).
About the biggest MSX, I don't know. But regarding the most heavier, I'm pretty sure that the winner is the good'n'old SONY HB-700! Metal casing rulez |

Hehe, I know, I know; but it's the picture that fits better the size comparative...

You must be talking of the SVI 3x8 series...; if so, I remember the SV-328 expander, my brother had once one of this; but it's gone now
And indeed, the HB-700 it's pretty heavy, I'm trying to clean the case and remove the yellowing of the frontal panel (nasty SONY plastic) of my HB-700 and it's a PITA to move the machine. |

You're right, JL: for the SVI 3x8 series there were different expanders. You can check this site to view some interesting pictures and the hardware specs. I specially like the ColecoVision adapter! Sounds cool! Is there anything similar for MSX? I know about the weird Al-Amiah MSX2 computer that is Megadrive (Genesis) compatible
Any other MSX docking stations around? |

The next question will be "the lightest" and "the heaviest"  |

The "most heavy" has been discussed in this same thread. About the "lightest", the answer seems to be equivalent the "smallest" answer: CASIO's PV7. It seems to be a calculator on steroids rather than an regular MSX!
I do not include the OCM by the same reason that I do not include any Symbian-powered portable device with fMSX loaded. |
