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 $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!

    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.
