    The MSI X600 is the 15.6-inch entry in the company’s X-Slim series of super-svelte notebooks. Like the X340 did for 13-inch laptops, the X600 ($799) pushes the envelope of portability for 15-inch systems by offering an... Read more

    Take MSI’s impressive MacBook Air knockoff, the X340, and gently stretch it out another couple of inches. Voila, you have the X600, a 15.6-inch version of the 13.4-inch X340. Read more

    • Superslim profile and a 15.6-inch LCD (with good graphics) are a great combination. Price includes a free optical drive. Amazing amount of hard drive space. Under five pounds.
    • Keypad/keyboard mashup is a horrendous design error. Slight bendiness in the LCD panel. Mostly plastic construction.

    MSi released the X600 as the larger cousin of the X340, a line of ultraportables that are slim, inexpensive, and look very good for their price range. Read more

    • It’s under $1000, Has a great deal of hard drive space, Can actually play games, Looks great, Has multitouch trackpad
    • The LCD is fairly bendy. Very bendy, in fact, Cramped keyboard because of the numpad, Completely made out of plastic, A deaf audio system

    Providing excellent performance in a large yet thin and light chassis, the X600- 055UK offers a great compromise between size and power. Read more

    • Good performance, Battery life, Build quality

    In the end, the MSI X600 suffers a bit from platform confusion. Is it an ultralight? The performance is about on a par with systems in that class, though the battery life can't compare. Is it a thin and light? Read more

    The MSI X600 is satisfyingly slim and sleek. The ultra-low-voltage processor seems misplaced on so large a laptop, but it's a strong performer and has a positive impact on battery life Read more

    • Surprisingly good performance, Gorgeous looks
    • No internal optical drive, Screen could be clearer

    With a maximum thickness of 25mm and a weight of less than 2.2kg the MSI X600 215UK MS-1691 is surprisingly portable for a 15.6in model. Toshiba’s T130 may be smaller and lighter – but it’s only a 13.3in model. Read more

    There's nothing intrinsically bad about the X600, but its appeal seems somewhat limited and there are things it could do better. Still, if it does tick a few personal desires, this is a solid, if unremarkable machine, whose... Read more

    This is a great laptop. Sound is incredible and speed is quite good. The keyboard configuration is a little odd to allow for the numeric keypad. I would highly reccomend this computer and Frosty's. Read more
