MSI Computer, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, is excited to release the full specifications of the new Wind U123 and the X320 & X340 X-Slim Notebooks. The new Wind model is MSI's first to offer a 3G solution and a TV Tuner, and features the powerful new Intel Atom 1.66 GHz N280 processor.

Like its award winning predecessors, the Wind U123 offers users an ergonomically designed keyboard and touch pad for comfortable typing and an enlarged 10.2" LCD display perfect for browsing without squinting. MSI also included EasyFace identification software to protect confidential data and for the first time is offering the Wind in blue and red in addition to the standard white and gray colored models.


The X-Slim series notebooks weigh just 2.8 lbs, but come loaded with the most storage space and the largest battery (4-Cell) in their class. The X340 is among the first notebooks to feature the new Intel CULV CPU, which uses 1/6th the power of a regular mobile CPU, significantly increasing performance-per-watt over previous single-core processors. The notebook also features a HD 16:9 Theater Display LCD with 1366x768 resolution and a HDMI port for 1080P playback for under $1000.

Starting at just $700, MSI chose to outfit the X320 the new Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz processor and an optional 3G/WiMAX solution for unmatched connectivity. In addition to its superb specifications and outstanding performance, the X-Slim Series notebooks' aesthetics place it in a class by itself. Its classic exterior and clean design are available in Silver, White and a stylish Black.

I was all excited about the X320 until I noticed that it's going to lack the HDMI port. So, back to hoping that Asus will put out a version of the N10 that has a 1366x768 display. -_-

Erm no one else think that 13" is a little too small to be classed as a slim laptop?

Specs are rubbish as usual for anyone wanting to do a little more than look at web pages and msn.

The 13" is very poor specs for such a large footprint. Screen resolution should be better. And a decent anti-glare screen. And why the Z530? Isnt the N280 a better chip? The Z is typically the discount range. The SU 3500 is a nice chip. Clearly if you go for the 13" model, you need to get that version. The Z530 is just silly other than battery life. Perhaps that is what they hope to "sell" this model with.

Let me add that the SU3500 looks tasty. I'd like to see this in a mini-itx.
