You knew the comparisons were inevitable, but have you braced yourself for how incredibly similar these two laptops are? MSIs new X-Slim 320 13.3-inch ultraportable is a teensy bit wider and a teensy bit thicker than the MacBook Air, but most of the dimensions, layouts and curves are uncannily alike. As for build quality, MSI obviously suffers a bit for its netbook heritage. The plastics are not stellar, and the keyboard, while delightfully full size, is a tad squishy, but there is still no denying that this is a pretty wild deal for this very particular form factor — plus that built-in 3G, VGA and Ethernet are just rubbing it in Apple face.

comparison from laptopmag:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design and Ports WINNER: MSI X340. Easy access to ports (and lots of them!) allowed us to overlook the flimsy feel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keyboard and Touchpad WINNER: MacBook Air. A solid, comfortable keyboard is conducive to a pleasurable typing experience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Display WINNER: MSI X340. The sharper colors and slightly crisper visuals one-upped the Apple MacBook Air.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance WINNER: The MacBook Air, by a mile. Clearly, these two systems are not in the same class when comes to processing power and graphics. However, the X340 was more than adequate for common tasks like surfing the Web, sending e-mail, writing documents in Word, or watching 720p video.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Battery Life WINNER: MSI X340. The Air may have better performance, but these are both meant to be ultraportable systems, not high-end workstations. You can not be too mobile when you only get two measly hours of battery life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Value and Verdict:
|
|
|
The MacBook Air certainly offers a lot of power given its svelte design; our top end configuration includes a 1.86GHz Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, Nvidia® GeForce® 9400M graphics (with 256Mb of memory), 2.0Gb of RAM, and a 128Gb solid-state drive. A lower-priced model is which offers a 1.6-GHz Core™2 Duo CPU and the same graphics chip but a slower, 4,200-rpm 120Gb HDD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conversely, X340 is nearly as good a performer but is far more wallet-friendly at sub PhP 50K less than the Air lower-end configuration. The system houses a 1.4-GHz Intel® Core™2 Solo SU3500 UL3V processor, 2.0Gb of RAM, 320Gb, and 5,400-rpm hard drive. It is build quality and keyboard are not as good as the Air, but these are trade-offs we think many consumers will be willing to make. Some may be turned off, however, by MSI limited tech support hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ultimately, selecting a champion in this contest can be tricky, particularly if you favor either the Mac OS X or Windows Vista operating system. But in terms of usability and bang for the buck, the X340 offers a similarly slim design with more easily accessible ports and better battery life for considerably less money.
