MSI X-Slim X340: more minuses than pluses?

    image

    MSI X-Slim X340 - positioned as a low-cost alternative to the MacBook Air. For a while, the masses rejoiced, but then a devastating review from ZDNet Australia appeared , in which "everything was bad."

    The guys from Slashgear.com read the review and were upset. For some time they assumed that the Australians were mistaken, but since no one was in a hurry to express alternative Australian points of view, they had to take a laptop themselves and see what the Green Continent journalists did not like.

    Unfortunately, on many points - poor build quality, a cheap and ugly touchpad and a messy keyboard, I had to agree with criticism.

    But, according to Slashgear.com, in terms of style X340 on top. With a battery that lives offline for three and a half hours, the laptop looks quite thin. Performance, however, leaves much to be desired: according to users, with the Core 2 Solo processor this ultra-thin laptop is not much different in speed from a netbook. Compared to the Intel Atom N280, the X340 is only a bit ahead. To the delight of users, the integrated Intel X4500 graphics work well with 720p, even despite some of the shortcomings that are reported in laptop reviews.

    As a result, we have: a keyboard - on the one hand, comfortable, on the other - too "flimsy", poor touchpad and low performance netbook. Be that as it may, the laptop is much cheaper than the MacBook Air and costs $ 800. Let me remind you that for this amount you will get 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, WiFi and Bluetooth.
