CES 2009: MSI has introduced the X-Slim X320 13.4-inch netbook, which measures just 1.98cm at its thickest point.

ohhhhhhh nice. Hurry up and get your hands on one and give us a delicious review!

Hm, finally Menlow.

Given that its Atom and MSI it ought to be around 1/10 of the Macbook Air price..

DO WANT! Seriously, I need more details...

Finally, a netbook-type system with a half decent res on the screen... (working on WSXGA+ on a 15.4" laptop for the past five or so years has really made high-resolution screens a necessity...)

Would be very interested in this if they bring out a dual-core Atom variant.

this should have the 9400 nvidia chipset

Interesting, but I think it'll be priced like a normal laptop.

Still, it looks nice, should be light to lug around and if the 10 hours claimed battery time is true, MSI are onto a winner.

Sony are offering an interesting alternative. But it's a full laptop price level.
