Digital Home Thoughts: Super-slim X360 from MSI

"The X360, the latest step in the evolution of MSI's beautiful X-Slim series of notebooks, comes with the Intel Arrandale ULV processor to provide outstanding performance with a longer-lasting, more environmentally friendly battery. The X360 comes with the Intel Core i5 processor with Intel Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technology. The Intel HM55 chipset gives the X360 high-quality audio/video performance and 9 hours of ultra-long battery life."

Pretty nice looking. The slim profile is partially due to the lack of an optical drive, which honestly, the rise of the netbook has helped a lot of users realize they don't need anyway. So if you've looked at netbooks, but found the screen size and horsepower just a little lacking, this looks like a nice middle of the road for you. Price and availability date still TBD.
