The MSI X600 is a 15.6-inch ultralight netbook that is larger and more expensive than its companion product, the MSI X340. Unlike the X340, the X600 has an eSATA port along with two USB connection ports. It comes with an HDMI output as well as a VGA connection, making it a great product for consumers who already own a large screen, high definition TV they might want to connect it to. It is powered by a processor that is based on Intel's Centrino 2 platform, has an aspect ratio of 16:9 and weighs 4.6 lbs. The MSI X600 was released in China before its release in the US. MSI is a company that is based in Taiwan and is well known for computer hardware manufacture.
