MSI X-Slim X350

A finely-honed design that constitutes a masterly integration of high technology and high fashion

The apogee of hi-tech luxury goods: MSI’s X-Slim series notebook PCs have been repeatedly refined and improved. To the solid, robust magnesium alloy structure and warm, soft supporting materials MSI has added a glittering, shiny effect created through the use of Color-Film Print (CFP) technology, giving the casing a high-fashion feel to complement its beautiful lines. The X350 weighs just 1.5 kg, and is less than one inch thick, making it the ultimate in ultra-slim luxury notebook PCs.

MSI’s unique lozenge-pattern etching technique: The new-generation X350 has once again taken the integration of high technology and high fashion to new heights. Building on the X-Slim series’ already stunningly beautiful chassis design, MSI has applied the company’s unique, hi-fashion lozenge-motif etching technology to the top casing and the section of the chassis on which the user’s hands rest while using the keyboard. The lozenge-shape pattern creates a sparkling, glittering crystal-diamond effect. The chassis is rimmed by a silver frame, complementing the lustrous, silvery, chromium-plated power switch, LED indicator light unit and touch-screen rim. All of this, together with MSI’s unique Chiclet keyboard, combines to create a trend-setting paradigm of warm, streamlined elegance and refinement.

A highly efficient dual-core processor and 9-hour battery run-time*

The latest Intel Core 2 Duo dual-core processor: The X-Slim X350 is just as impressive on the inside as it is good-looking on the outside. The X350 is equipped with the Intel CULV energy-saving platform, and uses the latest Intel Core 2 Duo dual-core CPU. It combines low power consumption and low heat output with long battery run-time. With its powerful processing capability, the X350 is able to perform a large number of tasks simultaneously while maintaining smooth operation, enabling the user to work more efficiently.

9-hour battery run time: The X350 uses MSI’s new ultra-thin, large-capacity lithium-polymer battery, which inserts flush with the base of the laptop, maintaining the X350’s smooth lines. The X350 also features MSI’s unique ECO energy-saving technology. Press the ECO key, and you can choose between five different power management modes: gaming, viewing video content, preparing presentations, performing word-processing tasks, and “Turbo Battery”.
