MSI X600
$899.00
Released May, 2009
The Pros:Very thin 15" netbook - less than 1" thick. Very lightweight for a 15" netbook - 4.8 lbs. Excellent ports connectivity - including an eSATA and HDMI.
The Cons:No optical drive built-in. Runs hot - touchpad and wrists get very warm. Large size/weight makes categorization of this as a "netbook" questionable.
The MSI X600 is a 15.6-inch ultralight netbook that is larger and more expensive than its companion product, the MSI X340. Unlike the X340, the X600 has an eSATA port along with two USB connection ports.
