MSI X-SLIM X340 REVIEW

The X-Slim X340 is a 13.4 inch super thin ultraportable laptop from MSI. It is powered by the new Intel Ultra Low Voltage SU3500 processor. Prices start at $899.

MSI X-Slim X340 Specifications:
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium
Processor: Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 CULV (1.4GHz, 800MHz FSB, 3MB cache)
Memory: 2GB DDR2 SDRAM (800MHz)
Hard Disk Drive: 320GB 5400 rpm SATA HDD
Display: 13.4-inch diagonal WXGA (glossy, 1366x768)
Graphics: Intel X4500M Integrated

Build and Design
The X340 is super thin. In many aspects the design is similar to that found on the Apple MacBook Air. Build quality is good. The display is satisfactory with the glossy screen surface offering reasonable color saturation and good contrast levels. Speaker performance isn’t very good. If you want to listen to music on this laptop you will have to use headphones.

Keyboard and Touchpad
The keyboard is comfortable to type on and the layout is nice. The missing driver support for the touchpad prevents it from having many standard features. For instance, scrolling isn’t possible using the touchpad.

There are two USB ports and an SD card slot. With the SD card slot you can expand the internal storage or transfer images from your digital camera wirelessly. Additional ports include VGA, HDMI, headphone and mic. There is also a LAN connection.

Performance
Despite using an Intel Core 2 Solo processor, the X340 isn’t very fast. Performance isn’t much better than the netbooks using Intel Atom processor. But since this notebook comes with the powerful Intel X4500 integrated graphics, it can play even 720p HD video without much trouble.
The notebook comes with a 4-cell 32Wh battery. The battery life is average at above 3 hours. An optional 8-cell is offered.
Pros:

Super thin and lightweight
Nice display

Cons:

The doesn’t doesn’t have any driver support
Keyboard isn’t very good
Not as fast as MacBook Air or HP dv2z
