MSI 15.6-Inch X-Slim X600 Laptop

via Gizmodo by Dan Nosowitz on 6/13/09

We're not really sure about the market for a svelte-yet-comparatively-large-screened laptop like MSI's 15.6-inch X-Slim X600, but now we've got the full spec list so you can decide for yourself.

The sub-inch-thick laptop will be packing one of two variations: One's got a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Solo proc, 4GB RAM, and a 500GB hard drive, and one will have a 1.2GHz Celeron, 3GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive, as well as losing the more powerful version's native Bluetooth. Both will have the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics chipset with 512MB memory and HDMI out, which isn't too shabby, plus Windows Vista and a 6-cell battery.

The laptops are a bit underpowered, though that's the price you pay for such lithe bodies. They'll cost about $1,320 and $1,120 respectively when they're released in Italy at the end of June, and should make their way Stateside in a reasonable timeframe.

Toshiba's NB205, similar to the�NB200�available in the UK, will be coming to the US, and given Laptop Mag's�glowing recommendation�as possibly "the best netbook yet," we've got reason to be excited.

It'll feature the same specs as the NB205: LED-backlit 10.1-inch screen, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, full-sized keyboard, and Intel's Atom N280 processor, along with the supposed 9-hour, 6-cell battery. Available in late June, the NB205 should come in at an MSRP of $399. [Toshiba]
