MSI Introduces CULV-Based X400 Thin-'N-Light
MSI shocked the ultraportable world when it unveiled the stylish X-Slim
X340 and X320 earlier this year, and now the company is pushing its
sweet, sexy new line even further with the introduction of the X400.
This "thin-'n-light" notebook is based on Intel's CULV (Consumer Ultra
Low Voltage) platform, and the whole chassis never exceeds one inch
thick. Even with the battery installed, the X400 weighs just 3.3lbs,
which is pretty darn impressive for a 14" machine.
Other specifications include an HDMI output, optional Blu-ray drive, 1080p video support (we'll believe it when we see it), 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, a multimedia card reader, a few USB 2.0 sockets and Bluetoth. There's also an external DVD drive should you need it, and the included 8-cell battery can reportedly last for a whopping nine hours. Of course, we get the feeling this is one of those "best case scenarios," but make of it what you will. MSI has yet to put a price tag on this, but we doubt style, slimness and a new platform will come cheaply.
