MSI Wind X-Slim X340 Notebook

MSI Wind X-Slim X340 Ultraportable Notebook PC is the new “Apple” of the market’s eye. Yes, the pun is definitely intended as this ultramobile PC is slim, giving competition to the Apple Macbook Air. Weighing just about 1.3kg, makes it ultralight as well.

The 13.4” TFT LED backlit widescreen display of this notebook employs the Vivid Image Enhancement technology for better image displays. The resolution offered might seem a bit low in this age of HD displays – 1366 x 768 pixels. However, there is an HDMI link on board this notebook for connecting to high definition monitors for viewing HD content. Other connections include 3 USB ports and a 2-in-1 card reader.

Internal operations are handled by the Intel Core 2 Solo processor. This processor consumes less power in contrast with other Intel processors. Moreover, it is one of the important factors for the ultra-slim figure of this UMPC. The graphics card incorporated is the Intel GMA4500MHD. A 2GB RAM and a 320GB hard drive are also present in this mini laptop. The operating system employed is Microsoft Windows Vista. On the networking front, this device is WiFi, wired ethernet and Bluetooth ready. A 1.3 Megapixel web camera is present in this small laptop too.

MSI Wind X-Slim X340 13.4” Ultramobile PC was one of MSI’s eye catching displays at CeBIT 2009, held in Hannover, Germany. This portable computer is priced at about £859 and includes a separate Blu-ray disc player in the package. Draped in either piano black, brushed silver or pearl white garbs, this notebook will be meeting the market shelves sometime in June 2009.
