Considering that both notebooks offer roughly the same weight and dimensions, we thought it appropriate to pit them in a 6-round knock-down, drag-out competition to determine which laptop is the best when factoring in price, design, value, and general usability (while leaving the inevitable Mac OS X vs.

Hey! I too own a MSI Notebook not a X series, its a wonderful technology that they sell. If you buy a MSI notebook with the similar price as Mac, you just cannot compare the technology you could own. At USD 2,499 you can get an awesome notebook from MSI. Try it guys!

I once had the MSI X340, but I changed it for an apple Macbook air… So much easier to surf the web with!

Got an X340 with Win7 HomePro and 8cell for 499Cad.

Yes cheap keyboard feel and strange plastic, but for the price you get a super light “more then enough” package with 3years warranty.

I love it!

Buy the way Mac lovers, there is a new MSI X360 with i5 and Nvidia in the same footprint.
If Mac will come with that in the Air series, it will probably (literally) be hot, same way their new i7 BoocPro’s are

Sean, are you that dense that you don’t understand the purpose of this comparison?

Most people who buy ultra portables are looking for a stylish lightweight unit for surfing while they drink overpriced lattes at some cafe amounst other people surfing and drinking lattes. Well maybe not that exactly, but they are looking for something to surf and watch videos with the portability requirement (battery life and WEIGHT)

This is why the comparison is valid. The “drawback” of x320 of having inferior componentry is not a drawback; it is a smart design choice. MSI nailed it when they released the x320 and x340, because the Majority of people won’t drop 1800 for a full size netbook, and won’t put up with the bogus unusable keyboard size of a small netbook. The x320 is even more specific — emphasis on freedom from power outlets with atom processor and the 8 cell battery.

Chris, where does the article state that they were running the battery test in Vista?

Hmm… I’m tired of PCs. I need an ultraportable! But, I’m not sure if Macs are worth the extra cash.
