The MSI X Series seems to draw a lot of comparison to the MacBook Air series of laptops, with some of the specs (speed, weight, etc.) of the MacBook Air usually winning out. But I think something that people overall quite a bit is the price differential between the two. There is a $600 difference between the two and I would definitely take the $600 over the differences between the two laptops.

there's only one way to go if you want FULL h.264 & VC-1 Playback:

nVidia G98/GT210/GT220

for FULL h.264:

nVidia, everything G80

for Full VC-1 and incomplete h.264 playback:

ATI

BTW: noone uses VC-1 anyway.

Thus we can conclude: ATI == FAIL.

this thing is a real peace a garbage. low battery life + slow processor= high efficiency? im getting tired of theses hundreds of laptops with practically the same crappy performance years on end always some how considered better then the last with major flaws seen from the specs alone.
