MSI is now shipping the X-Slim X340 in the U.S.

I talked about this ultra-thin laptop on my site a few months ago when it was released in Japan. It is awesome! At only .78-inches thick, the X-Slim X340 will come equipped with the following:

• Intel ULV SU3500 processor
• Vista Home Premium
• 13.4-inch (1,366 x 768 resolution) display
• GMA 4500MHD graphics
• 2GB of DDR2 RAM
• 320GB HDD

You will also have a gigabit Ethernet port, WiFi, 4-cell battery (an 8-cell is optional), 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, twin USB 2.0 ports, VGA / HDMI outputs and an SD / MMC card reader.

With these specs, the X-Slim X340 will cost you a grand total of $899.99! Not bad for such an insanely thin laptop. You can view the full press release here.
