MSI X340 Review

MSI X340 Review

We had our first glimpse of the MSI-X-Slim laptop at CES, but it is till now for the British public to get their hands on it. According to the fact that the UK launch, I thought you could be any interest in my first impressions of the X340.Given the importance of first impressions, MSI also has the styling of the X340. Pick-up to the X340 and 1.3 kilograms of his weight, is little more than many Netbook is also impressive.

The single-core, 1.4GHz SU3500 CULVER processor will not blow away everyone with his performance, but it’s a damn sight better than even a Singe-Core Atom CPU. It is important, however, his power – and the entire platform to it – is significantly lower than that of a standard notebook with Intel.

The 13.4in screen has an LED-backlit 1366 x 768 pixel panel – once again besting the air – which is nice and crisp and good. I would still prefer a higher resolution, but for most I think that should be about right. 2 GB of RAM and a 320 GB hard drive are not what you mean.

Connectivity is very good, with a pair of USB ports (the double of the infamous Air), both HDMI and D-Sub video output, an SDHC card and an Ethernet jack. If I were a criticism of the short time I had with an X340 is that the keyboard is a little “mushy”, but it should not be a deal breaker.

HANNspree unveils its HANNSnote netbook

Novelty TV maker Hannspree has jumped into the Netbook market, and surprisingly, the HANNS note not as an apple or a huge football.

In fact, it looks like a Netbook. Ok, glossy finish and stainless steel details, there is a premium look a little more than a large portion of the competition, but if the functions so far known, we suspect that this is no more and no less than the rest of the pack.

These features are a 10-inch LCD monitor, a keyboard, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a battery, a seriously long battery life. Details of the storage, memory and chip are not yet available, although we suspect you can, what you get.

Make your choice between two shiny surfaces for HANNS note, piano black and ice white, both will be in June.
