Pros: Thin, light, and packed with goodies, long battery life, LED backlit screen, keypad, slick look, decent integrated speakers.
Cons: mouse button, flimsy keyboard, no connections in rear, slow hard drive, overall quality.
The MSI X600 laptop is an nice laptop for the price and is loaded with everything you need for home or office use. The laptop is SLIM (just under 1″), weighs about 5LBS and looks slick. Although it does not have an internal DVD drive, MSI includes an external writable drive. For me, this works out perfect as I rarely use the drive and having an external one extends my battery life. The 320GB hard drive is decently sized.
The build quality, however, is under par compared to other laptops. It feels flimsy and the whole unit flexes if the screen is up and it is held on a corner with one hand. The touchpad uses a single plastic piece for buttons, which is awkward. The keyboard flexes slightly when typing and and is noticeable when viewed at certain angles.
Lastly, there is a “Warranty Sticker Void if tampered” sticker on the only access cover on the bottom of the laptop. This eliminates any possibility of upgrading RAM or hard drive without voiding the warranty.
If it weren’t for the issues mentioned above, this laptop would have gotten 5-stars.

This computer is great. I run some demanding software and it runs them like a charm just like that. It is very lightweight like a slim should be but with an unusual big display. So Great!
To really enjoy the sound system you need to add some accessory so it can reveal her hidden power! That will be available! The Graphic is really great for cinema!
The low voltage CPU allow to have plenty of time before recharging!
Great laptop!

I purchased the MSI X600 about 1 month ago and have been very pleased with it except for a few design issues. The biggest plus is the light weight and excellent screen. The minuses would be the processor is a little slow and the palm of my hand tends to touch the mouse pad while typing causing me to loose my place. Overall great computer for surfing the web while lounging on the couch. I would not use this for heavy typing due to the keyboard.

It’s a great machine. It’s light. It’s really thin. It performs like a big ol’ laptop. I don’t know about massive performance – I’m not a gamer… just a guy who uses a laptop for work, surfing, writing, editing pics, videos. And it works really well.
The funk comes with the touchpad and click bar. And the scroll buttons. Other odd keyboard anomalies. But with a small wireless mouse and some getting used to the layout, it’s going to be fine. (But really, the mouse and click bar thing really sucks.)
Overall I’m really happy not lugging my big heavy short-battery-life-with-a-list-of-things-that-just-stopped-working-HP 6100 series laptop around. This machine is a refreshing change in weight and function. (So many HP computers out there for so little money, but I won’t ever buy another one. What a piece…)
The included external optical drive didn’t work right out of the box, but I found the MSI tech support in L.A. to be efficient and quick with the RMA.
