I am no Apple fanboy, but even the Rev A MBA at $1000 would be a choice for users wanted a more durable machine and faster processor.

The HDMI out is nice though.]]>May 13th 2009 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-reviewed-loved-on-despite-the-flexy-ke/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-reviewed-loved-on-despite-the-flexy-ke/
Rev B is much better but expensive compared to this MSI. But I agree with you this laptop is overpriced for it's specs. ]]>May 13th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-reviewed-loved-on-despite-the-flexy-ke/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-reviewed-loved-on-despite-the-flexy-ke/May 13th 2009 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-reviewed-loved-on-despite-the-flexy-ke/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-reviewed-loved-on-despite-the-flexy-ke/

You can get all sorts of ultra-powerful laptops for just as cheap as this MSI if you're willing to go the refurb route.

Why don't we just talk about how you can do better on Ebay next?

for: expose, siwthc apps, minimize all windows, 3 finger swipe navigation, 2 finger right click, scrolling, etc.

imo, those are pretty useful. you must have not ever used multitouch on a macbook air? trust me, apple touchpads really do rule and i'm mostly a windows/vista boy.

I always wanted something in between a crappy Atom netbook and a $3,000 ultraportable. Intel finally making some decently priced ultra-low-voltage chips is a great news and should push more development of this segment.

Give me:
- 11" or 12" LED-lit screen. 1333x768 or 1440x900
- 1.4Ghz Core 2 Duo CULV
- 4GB RAM
- 128GB SSD
- 2 USB + USB/eSATA combo port (common on ultraportables and a good space saver)
- < 3.5 Lbs
- < 1" thin
somewhere around $1000 and I'm sold!
