For MSI it looks as if it is Apple who lay down the benchmarks and MSI try to get a close as they possibly can to these specs. However, at the same time manage to hold back on the total price making them very affordable and there is no denying that the MSI is good value at $899 when it is compared to the Apple at $1,799, which is a hell of a difference.
The design of the X340 is second to none with the exception of the keyboard with could have done with some extra work to make it feel worth spending you cash on, after all it is the keyboard that the user has contact with all of the time.
