MSI X-Slim X340 gets reviewed, loved on - despite the 'flexy' keyboard

 

We've had our eyes on MSI's answer to the MacBook Air (yeah, we said it!) for a while now -- and that includes a shady, late night hands-on photo session live...

X340

 

AMD can't catch a break. First to market with a tweener processor (more powerful than a netbook, but cheaper than the usual fare found in ultraportables), its Athlon Neo CPU is now under fire from Intel's new Ultra Low Voltage chip, and one of the...

What matters in the end, though, is the value. For those who want a larger screen, maybe to watch a couple movies, and also to get some light typing done, this is a more powerful machine than a conventional netbook and will do you just fine. If you've...

MSI MSI X340

 

Decent performance ; Good size and lightweight

Feels like a MacBook Air tribute ; Mediocre mouse control

MSI's slim ultraportable X340 is the average Joe's MacBook Air.

MSI X340 review: MSI X340

 

MSI X340

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.

MSI X340 (021US)

 

The MSI X340 is a blatant knockoff of the MacBook Air, but it does come with more ports and a removable battery.

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.

Review: MSI X340

 

Let's cut to the chase and hit you with the sell: The MSI X340 is a MacBook Air at half the price. Interested? R ead...

Gorgeous design; slap an Apple sticker over the MSI logo and no one will ever know. Performance bests most netbooks, though it’s hardly top-notch. Surprisingly good graphics and responsiveness. Includes the usual goodies: 1.3-MP webcam, Bluetooth, 802.11n

Flaky touchpad. Disappointing battery life

Review MSI X-Slim X340 Notebook

 

Light, slim, aesthetic. - that is how MSI promotes their X-Slim s

Elegant, very slim design; Light, compact form factor; Fairly bright LED display; Vista installation media and drivers/tools data carrier included; HDMI port

Keyboard; Touchpad without scroll functions, etc.; Reflective display; Short battery life of the included 4 cell battery; Lack of an optical drive

How a keyboard of this "quality" can be implemented. And once again: Why a reflective display in a device conceived for mobility?

MSI X-Slim X340 Review

 

The X-Slim X340 is a new 13.4" ultraportable notebook from MSI, offering a super thin chassis and powered by the new Intel Ultra Low Voltage SU3500 processor. When the screen is closed the thickest part of the X340 is just over 3/4", almost mirroring...

Super thin and lightweight ; Nice display ; Comfortable keyboard

No driver support for touchpad (no scrolling) ; Keyboard flex ; Not as fast as MacBook Air or HP dv2z

The touchpad appears to be an ALPS or similar model, but doesn't use any special driver, only the native Windows touchpad control. The touchpad has a noticeable amount of lag as you change pointer direction or initially start moving. Without proper...

MSI X-Slim X340

 

Ultimately MSI's X-Slim X340 is a disappointment. It is reasonably attractive, but it's not worth the price due to the horrible keyboard and budget touchpad.

Attractively slim, Nice screen, Reasonably sturdy considering slimness, Stays quiet

Horrific keyboard, Annoying Sentelic touchpad, MSI still not including touchpad drivers
