After the break down of my beloved Macbook I decided it is time for a new notebook. So I went out to the various markets and searched around. I was in search for something slim but still powerful. So it could be a Macbook AIR? Looking at the specs revealed it contains NVIDIA GFX, so that is a no go. Then I saw a Sony X-Series… very very slim… then my math failed and i thought it is cheap… well Sony’s are never cheap and the repair is always outrages… I stumbled across the MSI X-Series and i really liked it…

So my X-340 has a Intel Chipset and is a Centrino2, it is one of these ultra low voltage CPUs… and the Linux supports rocks. Wireless, Bluetooth, Camera (not that I need it), Sound, Touchpad, Graphics (intel gma4500) all work out of the box. The CPU seems to be powerful enough for what I want to do.

So far I seem to have made a good pick.
