MSI has officially launched its MSI X-Slim series of ultra-thin notebooks for the Asia Pacific region in Japan. At the CeBIT 2009 expo in January, MSI had shown its X-Slim X340 and X600 models. Along with these two X-Slim models, another new 14-inch MSI X-Slim X400 model was also launched.
MSI's new X-Slim series ultra-thin notebooks are equipped with Intel's Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) processors. MSI X-Slim 400 was the one that caught the attention since, X340 and X400 had already been announced earlier in January.
As we previously mentioned, MSI X-Slim X340's ultra-thin form factor reminds us of Apple MacBook Air. Andy Tung, MSI's director of U.S. Sales, mentioned that MSI would be using Intel Montevina platform based CULV processors for better battery life and lower thermal power ratings.
Tung stated that X340 is expected to be priced around $750 (Rs. 37,500 approx.) and hence we expect the new 14-inch X400 and 16-inch X600 to be somewhere above Rs. 40,000 price point. Unfortunately, no further details about the pricing have yet been disclosed.
Amongst the line up of notebooks, we'll find a new sub-segment of slim and ultra-thin notebooks with Intel CULV processors. This is just the beginning and it would be interesting to see the competition when MSI's rival OEMs launch their respective models.
