processor. As you would expect from its X-Slim name, this 13.4-inch notebook

A finely-honed design that constitutes a masterly integration of high technology and high fashion
The apogee of hi-tech luxury goods: MSI's X-Slim series notebook PCs have been repeatedly refined and improved. To the solid, robust magnesium alloy structure and warm, soft supporting materials MSI has added a glittering, shiny effect created through the use of Color-Film Print (CFP) technology, giving the casing a high-fashion feel to complement its beautiful lines. The X350 weighs just 1.5 kg, and is less than one inch thick, making it the ultimate in ultra-slim luxury notebook PCs.
MSI's unique lozenge-pattern etching technique: The new-generation X350 has once again taken the integration of high technology and high fashion to new heights. Building on the X-Slim series' already stunningly beautiful chassis design, MSI has applied the company's unique, hi-fashion lozenge-motif etching technology to the top casing and the section of the chassis on which the user's hands rest while using the keyboard. The lozenge-shape pattern creates a sparkling, glittering crystal-diamond effect. The chassis is rimmed by a silver frame, complementing the lustrous, silvery, chromium-plated power switch, LED indicator light unit and touch-screen rim. All of this, together with MSI’s unique Chiclet keyboard, combines to create a trend-setting paradigm of warm, streamlined elegance and refinement.
