MSI launches slim X400 notebook

During the Computex conference earlier this year, MSI already showed a number of new notebooks to the public. The line-up included the X-Slim X400, a notebook that combines a 14" size with a weight of only 1.5 kilograms. The laptop stands out due to its sleek finish and claimed battery life of nine hours. By using Intel's C-ULV platform, the X400 is extremely efficient, which means less room in the chassis has to be used to keep the system cooled down. As a result, the notebook is no thicker than 24 mm.

MSI's X400 uses a powerful Lithium-Polymer battery which should keep the laptop running about 9 hours in its most efficient mode. The notebook can be ordered with an external Blu-ray drive as well. This, the fact that its got a 1336x768 pixel HD-ready screen and the presence of the integrated HDMI output make it clear to us that the laptop's main use is to serve as a multimedia device. The compact chassis of the 14" notebook holds a cardreader, 1.3 megapixel webcam, Bluetooth and 802.11n WLAN. The integrated Intel 4500MHD IGP should provide users with the necessary 3D effects and video. The system is equipped with 2 to 4 GB of DDR2-800 memory and a harddisk of either 320 or 500 GB. A 40 Watt power adaptor is also bundled.
