    The Good: Slim, attractive design; cheaper than other slim 13-inch laptops; uses Intel's new ULV processor.

    The Bad: Flimsy keyboard feels cheap; shorter battery life than we'd expect from a low-power system.

    The Bottom Line: MSI's superslim X340 offers the slick look of a MacBook Air or Dell Adamo, but cast in plastic for about half the price.

    Review Summary: Stunning to look at, lightweight and with a host of unexpected peripherals, the X340 is nevertheless let down by a sub-standard keyboard and the need for a separate external optical drive to make the most of the new Intel Core 2 Solo processor.
