Remember that ultra-thin laptop MSI has conceived? Well the X-Slim X320 is now ready to ship to American customers for just $599. The laptop will offer you a 13-inch screen, an Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, a 4-cell battery, an Intel Menlow US15W chipset, integrated GMA 500 graphics card and Windows Vista Home Premium. Other features include a 1.3 megapixel webcam, Bluetooth, 802.11n WiFi card, stereo speakers and a bunch of useful ports: Ethernet LAN, three USB ports, a 2-in-1 media card reader and a VGA output. This is certainly the slimmest 13-inch laptop you could acquire as it’s only between 6 and 20mm thin so you should definitely get it if that’s what you’re looking for. Or would you rather get the MacBook Air instead?

We’ve shown you the MSI X320 just before CES. It’s a new device from MSI, and although it’s ultraportable, the X320 is a 13.3 inch laptop and not a netbook. The X-Slim series is schedule to arrive in April and fight against the MacBook Air.

Unfortunately for some, the first version will come with an Atom processor inside but MSI will be releasing a higher-end notebook soon which will come with a genuine Pentium processor. That means more power for your work and gaming support. The Atom-based X-Slims will cost just under $1,000 while the Pentium-based X-Slims will cost more than $1,000.

What will you choose? The Air, the Adamo or the X320?
