MSI X-Slim X320 is a 13.4″ Netbook

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 $799PHP 46,890INR 67,715EUR 761CNY 5,815 and $999PHP 58,627INR 84,665EUR 951CNY 7,271, depending on storage and RAM. Install OSX in this rig and you got a really cheap Macbook Air knockoff.

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.

That looks nice. But the price is still too high. Almost at the price range as MBA?
