MSI X320: serious MacBook Air competitor for only $599
If your interest on the MacBook air is based on its computer power and the Apple logo, this computer is not for you. However, if you always wanted an ultraportable full laptop with a beautiful design that is thin enough to fit a manila envelope but didn't want to pay a premium price for it, the MSI X320 might be the perfect purchase.
The X320 weighs less than 3 pounds, has a 13.4-inches display and measures only 0.7 inches thick. It comes with 3 USB ports (the Air offers only 1), 2-in-1 memory card reader, a generous 320 Gb HD and a VGA port. The 4-cell battery is supposed to deliver 4 hours of regular usage.
You may be aware, though, that this is not the best computer to edit videos or run other more complex tasks. With the new Intel® Atom® Z530 1.6GHz processor, you should expect the performance of a netbook, which might be more than ideal for most users.
It is available in Silver, White and a stylish Black at an affordable USD $599,00 price tag. You can buy yours from Amazon here, but apparently at this time only black is available and you'll have to wait for 2 to 5 weeks to put your hands on it. It seems to be worth it.
