MSI X400 and MSI X610 officially announced – Expensive!

MSI has made public its two new X-Slim series notebooks, one of which is based on CULV platform and other is based on AMD NEO platform. The smallest 14-incher in the market, the X400 uses CULV processor and weighs 1.5 kg. It has depth under an inch at its waistline. Oddly enough, it took MSI nearly 4 months to make it official!

The X400 will ship in two SKUs. The entry level version is based on Intel’s SU2700 CULV CPU; upto 2GB RAM and 320GB hard disk drive. A more powerful version will be equipped with Intel SU3500 processor and will feature a massive 500GB hard drive. It will come with a 4-cell battery. You can also opt for 8-cell battery, which we won’t recommend as the main purpose of buying X400 would be keeping a slim profile. It will cost you around £499 for the lower end model and £569 for the higher end model.

The AMD Neo-based 15.6-inch X610 has also been made official, which comes with an Athlon Neo MV-40 clocked at 1.6GHz and features ATi Radeon HD4330 discrete graphics with 512MB of memory. You get the option to choose between 320GB, 500GB or 640GB hard drive and 2GB or 4GB of RAM. No info on its pricing.

MSI X410 now on sale in Europe, Already shipping in France and Belgium

Few days back, we mentioned about the MSI X-slim notebook and Wind netbooks based on AMD’s NEO platform and according to fudzilla, amazingly, MSI has begun shipping some of its Neo-based notebooks, right now to particularly to France and Belgium. MSI is still in a mum about their products,which is yet not made public officially.

X410 is a very attracting model, weighing just 1.5kg and it’s under 25mm thick, which makes it the lightest and slimmest of all. It has a 14-inch display and is backed by an Athlon MV-40 at 1.6GHz, has 2GB of memory and 320GB of storage, draft-n wireless and comes installed with Vista Premium.

X410 is listed by some French vendors at as low as €414 although some are shipping at higher price which is slightly above €500. While Belgian e-tailers have also listed the X400, which is based on Intel’s SU3500 CPU. However, the price difference is astonishing. Shockingly, X400 costs €650, while the X410 is listed at just €499.

The battery life of AMD-based X410 with that of X400 is incomparable as the latter offers much better battery life.

MSI X-Slim X410 at just 499 Euros – Another AMD NEO based slim notebook

Yesterday we published about the ”MSI’s AMD-based X-Slim X610”. Now, another Neo based X410 has popped out of nowhere. This new Neo X-Slim seems to be a bit cheaper than the X610.

Backed by an Athlon Neo MV-40 CPU running at 1.6GHz; integrated Radeon X1250 graphics; 2GB RAM and 320GB hard disk, this is surely not going to be the most powerful slim notebook in town, but at €499, we are not complaining.
