Posted 04/01/09 at 06:16:50 PM by Andy Salisbury

It wasn’t long ago that MSI announced their X-Slim notebooks, but we’ve finally got some solid information as to what will be under the hood, along with some additional information on the latest generation of Wind netbooks.
The new generation of MSI Wind U123 netbooks will sport a 10.2-inch screen, a 1.66GHz Atom N280 CPU, 1GB DDR2 RAM, a 160GB HDD, a built-in TV tuner and the choice between a 6 and 9-cell battery.
As for the X-Slims, the X340 (which will start at about $1,000) will be one of the first machines to feature Intel’s new CULV platform (which is reported to only use one-sixth the power of a regular mobile CPU), and will come with a 13.4-inch 1366x768 screen, Intel GMA4500MHD graphics, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a 320GB HDD and 802.11b/g/n.
As for the X320, it’ll come with a notably less powerful 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor, the same size screen, Intel GMA500 graphics, up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250GB HDD and along with the 802.11b/g/n wireless, will have an optional 3G/WiMAX module.
No specifics yet on pricing for any of these machines, but given MSI’s past there’s a good chance that it’ll be reasonable.

It's apparently cool to like Apple computers. Someone should make one called Orange computers, and use a REAL linux distro, not the BSD ripoff.
I don't like Microsoft, I just associate with it.

Cant wait to see the New X-slim books they sound interesting.As far as the Wind Netbooks I like to check one out see how it stacks up aganst my old Wind U100 net book.By the way the name Wind has nothing to do with apple ( http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Main_Page ) it for MSI Wind (Wi-Fi Network Device).
