Re: News - MSI's ultra-thin X-Slim X600 arrives on UK shores
Is it just me or are laptops getting dearer and becoming less worth it for the amount you pay. I got one 2 years ago with a 1.66 C2D and 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Ati X200M gfx chipset and that was around £450 and at the time was a powerful piece of machinery for the price i thought. Now i find laptop prices laughable for what id class as reasonable (im not expecting them to play Crysis) and spending £450 now wouldnt get you same performance as back then i dont feel.

There's a mistake regarding the model codes for the two mentioned. It should be:
* X600-055UK – comes with 500HDD, a CULV SU9600 and an optical drive – £799
* X600-067UK – comes with 320HDD and a ULV SU2700 – £599 (no optical drive)

I think you missed the point, this one is very slim ;-)
I think that's a pretty tasty machine, I personally like smaller ones... but it's one I might tell other people to look at.

There's always the Acer Aspire 3810 TG ;)
This is pretty much comparable to the Acer Aspire 5810TG in both specs and price, but with a higher res display panel, so it seems like a reasonable deal to me. The CULV Core 2 Duos are hella powerful, and with a decent battery you should be looking at 4 - 6 hours battery life for most usage...

How about a 2GHz Dual core Athlon, 3GB RAM, 500GB HDD and Radeon 3200 graphics? Should be pretty nippy...
