Sadly the slim profile means there’s no room for an optical drive, and unplugged runtime is disappointing considering the large battery pack. If your needs are more gaming oriented, the graphics power available in the MSI X600 215UK MS-1691 means...

One of the more curious developments in the whole consumer ultra-low voltage (CULV) movement is the existence of large, 'thin and light' laptops. Call us practical and sensible if you like, but anything much larger than an A4 sheet of paper is...

The X600-055UK is the second machine we've seen from MSI's ultra-slim X-series range, following on from the smaller X340. With a 15.6-inch screen, this machine is a more rounded package, while still providing excellent mobility. The 15.6-inch...

MSI's X-Slim X600 laptop is aimed at folk who don't mind paying a premium for a product that's not just a run-of-the-mill model. Priced at £799 for the review sample, the X600's fairly standard in some respects, shipping with a...

The MSI X600 is satisfyingly slim and sleek. The ultra-low-voltage processor seems misplaced on so large a laptop, but it's a strong performer and has a positive impact on battery life...

The X600 is part of the MSI X-Slim series. This range puts the accent on having a nice, light, sexy line. MSI talks about allying "technology with design" and is promoting it as an indispensable accessory for the style conscious that you can take with...

A CULV processor is an odd choice for so large a laptop, but it’s a surprisingly capable performer and it means that the MSI X600 is both slim and relatively long-lasted on battery power....
