MSI Takes on Apple

Looks like we got another MacBook Air contender. This here is the newly-announced MSI X-Slim 320 ultraportable. This thing oozes sexiness. It has a very simple, elegant design that could pass off as a MacBook Air. It includes a full-size keyboard, a 10-hour battery (so they say), a 13.4" LCD, and it's 0.7" thick (not to mention it weighs 2.8 pounds). Here's the best part though, it'll cost $800 when it comes out in Q2 of 2009. Yup, you read correctly — $800. It won't match the Air's muscle power (the 320 is built around a 1.6GHz Atom CPU), but it's gonna be a nice steal for anyone interested in a fashionable ultraportable, especially once we start seeing deals on this bad boy. Truthfully, this is my CES crush so far.
