MSI X340 (silver)

Pros: Slim, attractive design ; cheaper than other slim 13-inch laptops ; uses Intel's new ULV processor

Cons: Flimsy keyboard feels cheap ; shorter battery life than we'd expect from a low-power system

Verdict: MSI's superslim X340 offers the slick look of a MacBook Air or Dell Adamo, but cast in plastic for about half the price.

MSI X340 (021US)

Pros: Razor thin. Incredibly light for a 13-inch laptop. Plenty of ports, including HDMI and three USBs. Generous hard drive capacity. Very inexpensive

Cons: A bending keyboard. Noisy mouse buttons. Single-core processor is behind the times. 2GB of memory seems meager nowadays

Verdict: For the MSI X340 you spend about half as much as you would on the MacBook Air, but you get only half as much in design and craftsmanship.

The MSI X340 (021US), which debuted at CES 2009 as the X320, is nearly an identical twin to the Apple MacBook Air (Nvidia 9400M GT). Other than colorour review unit was black, and there's also a silver versionit's hard to tell them apart at first ...

MSI X340 - Review of the MSI X340

Pros: Incredibly slim, attractive design, Snappier performance than netbooks, More than 3 hours of battery life

Cons: Flexing keyboard, Weak graphics performance

Verdict: The 1.3-megapixel webcam above the display provided clear images in a video call. The other caller could make out our new hair cut and hear our voice clearly with the built-in microphone located to the left of the cam.

MSI X340: Samsung NC20

Pros: Everything a netbook should be: Offers the best performance available from a computer this portable and inexpensive. Very usable keyboard. Good quality audio. Includes three USB ports, 1.3-megapixel webcam, and SD card slot

Cons: LCD could be a touch brighter and quality sharper. Chassis design is a bit boring

It's not quite a netbook, not quite an ultralight PC. Whatever it is, Samsung's NC20 is a dazzling feat of engineering: an extremely usable 12-inch laptop with epic battery life, impressive specs and a downright mystifyingly affordable price tag.
