Just before CES 2009 officially opens, MSI has already sent a preview of their Mac Air look-alike with the X-Slim X320 — a 13.4″ Atom-powered netbook.
Looking gorgeously slim at 0.8″ at its thickest base, the MSI X320 still manages to include 3 USB ports, a VGA port, a LAN port, and a 3-in-1 card reader.
Clearly and Air competitor, the MSI X-Slim weighs about 1.3kgs (2.9lbs) and is just 6mm thin on the tip (just imagine a wider and thinner MSI Wind U100). No other specs available except that it runs on an Intel Atom CPU {via}.
Default battery is 4-cell but MSI will also offer an extended 8-cell battery that could last up to 10 hours. (Update: Engadget adds built-in 3.5G, 2GB RAM, 802.11n WiFi and 1366×768 resolution.)
To be priced somewhere between $799 and $999, depending on storage and RAM. Install OSX in this rig and you got a really cheap Macbook Air knockoff.
Having reqd tthis I thought it was rather
enlightening. I appreciate you spending some time and energy
to put this informative article together. I once again find myself
spending a lot of time both reading and commenting.
But so what, it was still worth it!
i see competition for great products. wow
it looks like my Asus A8 though my lcd is 14.1
cnong obed un.. kapangalan ko ah…
nweiz it is really a mc air knock down…hahaha
That looks nice. But the price is still too high. Almost at the price range as MBA?
i don’t think this is still considered a netbook. its price tag is kinda expensive for an atom powered laptop.
but yeah it sure looked really nice. it’s gonna be a headturner if you’re gonna use it in a coffee shop.
Nice an 8 cell battery! How about the SIZE and the WEIGHT of that 8 cell battery? Just wondering :P
weee….. a netbook that can be use for 10 hours thats a lot of surfing and chatting time or watching movies via net. thats great.
wow! anyone here got an idea when it will arrived here in the philippines?
I would like to have an 8-cell battery that could last up to 10 hours netbook. This so far is the best.
Nice, I wonder how the other netbook manufacturers would respond to this one.
