MSI Specs X-Slim X320, X340 and Wind U123
We had a clue as to what MSI's ultra thin X-Slim duo would look like, but beyond that, most everything else was veiled in mystery. Until now. This week at the CTIA Wireless Expo in Las Vegas, MSI has taken the wraps off the full specification list on the X-Slim X320, X-Slim X340 and Wind U123, all of which we'll detail below.
As for the X320, a super thin, super light ultraportable, you'll find 2.8 pounds of stylistic goodness, and within, you'll spot a four-cell battery, 1.66GHz Atom Z530 processor, Windows Vista Home Premium, a 13.4" LCD (1366 x 768), Intel'sGMA500 integrated graphics and up to 2GB of DDR2-667 memory. There's also room for a 250GB 2.5" SATA hard drive, 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, optional 3G / WiMAX (wow!), a 1.3MP webcam, Bluetooth, three USB 2.0 ports (take that, MacBook Air) and a built-in SD/MMC card reader.
The X340 doesn't deviate too heavily from those lines, though it does swap in an ultra low voltage US3500 CPU, Intel's GMA4500MHD graphics and up to 4GB of DDR2-800 RAM. As for the lone remaining machine? The Wind U123 netbook features a 10.2" WXVGA panel and gets powered by a 1.66GHz Atom N280 processor, Windows XP Home, GMA950 graphics, a 160GB SATA HDD, 4-in-1 card reader and -- here are the kickers -- a built-in TV tuner and optional 3G, both of which are new for the Wind netbook line. The full release and specifications are listed below.

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA – April 1st, 2009 – MSI Computer, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, is excited to release the full specifications of the new Wind U123 and the X320 & X340 X-Slim Notebooks. The new Wind model is MSI's first to offer a 3G solution and a TV Tuner, and features the powerful new Intel® Atom™ 1.66 GHz N280 processor.
Like its award winning predecessors, the Wind U123 offers users an ergonomically designed keyboard and touch pad for comfortable typing and an enlarged 10.2" LCD display perfect for browsing without squinting. MSI also included EasyFace identification software to protect confidential data and for the first time is offering the Wind in blue and red in addition to the standard white and gray colored models.
The X-Slim series notebooks weigh just 2.8 lbs, but come loaded with the most storage space and the largest battery (4-Cell) in their class. The X340 is among the first notebooks to feature the new Intel® CULV CPU, which uses 1/6th the power of a regular mobile CPU, significantly increasing performance-per-watt over previous single-core processors. The notebook also features a HD 16:9 Theater Display LCD with 1366x768 resolution and a HDMI port for 1080P playback for under $1000.
Starting at just $700, MSI chose to outfit the X320 the new Intel® Atom® Z530 1.6GHz processor and an optional 3G/WiMAX solution for unmatched connectivity. In addition to its superb specifications and outstanding performance, the X-Slim Series notebooks' aesthetics place it in a class by itself. Its classic exterior and clean design are available in Silver, White and a stylish Black.
