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!
