MSI Adds 2 New Skinny Laptops

MSI announced 2 new laptops in the X-Slim line: The X340 and X600.

The X340 sports a 13" 16:9 display and weighs in at 3 pounds. The X340 uses the Intel Centrino mobile platform  which provides great performance, multimedia features, and power saving advantages. Total power consumption is about 20 percent of other notebooks!

The X600 has a 15" display and weighs about 4.5 pounds.

These two systems are built to look like a Macbook Air but they will perform more like a netbook due to the Atom processor.
