MSI X340 (silver)
Slim, attractive design ; cheaper than other slim 13-inch laptops ; uses Intel's new ULV processor
Flimsy keyboard feels cheap ; shorter battery life than we'd expect from a low-power system
MSI's superslim X340 offers the slick look of a MacBook Air or Dell Adamo, but cast in plastic for about half the price.
The $799 MSI X340 is the first laptop we've reviewed with the single-core...

MSI X340 (021US)
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 ...
Razor thin. Incredibly light for a 13-inch laptop. Plenty of ports, including HDMI and three USBs. Generous hard drive capacity. Very inexpensive
A bending keyboard. Noisy mouse buttons. Single-core processor is behind the times. 2GB of memory seems meager nowadays
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) is basically your poor man's MacBook Air. Check out the...

Hard Drve - Fail
I have heard of potential hardware problems with this design. It is the early hours of the morning before work, soi I do not have time to write much, But, last night, the hard drive on my unit failed after about 2 months of moderate use. This unit is one...
Light weight, cavernous hard drive
flimsy keyboard, potential hardware problems
Okay laptop
If you travel frequently, GET IT. If you sit at home or in your office all day then look to slightly more powerful and heavier laptops. This laptop should mainly be for word processing, web browsing, and all that other business-related junk due to its rat...
It's very light and slim (obviously) and runs quite fast for an ultra-low voltage CPU. LED backlight. Far, far cheaper than a MacBook Air too, regardless of where you buy it from. Far less bundled crapware than some of the other *ahem* notorious brands
When viewed under bright light, you can see random rainbow speckles in the plastic, possibly to give it more of a "shiny" look or something. Unattractive IMO. Rest of the design is plain black. The keyboard is also stiff and flexes to the point where you'...
The keyboard and trackpad kill this perfect laptop
I bought this laptop because when I travel I have to bring my work laptop, and 2 full sized laptops in my carry on luggage was killing my back. If I had to use this more than once or twice a month for a weekend I probably would have sold it and took the l...
The size, and I'll say it again, the size. This is exactly what I wanted in a laptop for a price I was cool with. Basically it's half the speed and half the price of the macbook air, same size and I think it's actually lighter
The keyboard sucks. Flat out it's horrible. The laptop feels plasticy and a bit fragile as is, but then you touch the keyboard and it feels like they spent $5 on it as an after thought. I am reluctant to use the computer simply because the typing experien...
