MSI X340 now with Lower price and Bigger battery

On one hand, we have costly ultraportables, where one has to pay a high price for the thin and lackluster battery run times. Whereas on the other hand, we have the MSI X340 which now packs in a new 8-cell battery! Good news does not end there as MSI has also dropped the price from $899 to $799. With its increased battery capacity, MSI claims that it will run for 8 hours and 48 minutes.

However, now the MSI X340 has a little protrusion on the bottom of its chassis. For the existing X340 owners,MSI is offering the 8-cell battery as an upgrade for $99.

MSI X340 is still a great ultraportable and comes with Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 CULV, 2GB of RAM and 320GB hard drive. Note that this SU3500 CPU is more powerful than the Intel Atom processors.

MSI X-Slim X340 now shipping at $899

MSI is now shipping the X340 to US at a less than a thousand dollar price tag. MSI X340 is a notebook with very slim design lines and is infact less than an inch think in some of its areas.

It comes with an Intel ULV SU3500 processor, Vista Home Premium, a 13.4-inch 1,366 x 768 resolution display, GMA 4500MHD graphics and 2GB of DDR2 RAM. There’s also a 320GB hard drive, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, 4-cell battery (an 8-cell is optional), 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, twin USB 2.0 sockets, VGA / HDMI outputs and an SD / MMC card reader.

MSI X340 review

The MSI X340 may look too big to be considered as a netbook but since it has an ULV (ultra low voltage) processor, we are covering it on Gadgetmix. The MSI X340 has a 13.4-inch screen and weighs just 2.9 pounds.

As you can easily see in the above picture, the MSI X340 is an extremely slim netbook and looks a LOT like the Apple Macbook Air. But, there is a HUGE price difference between the price of Macboook Air and MSI X340. The Air retails around $1600 while the MSI X340 costs just $900.
