Well, this may look like a bit like an MSI X-Slim X600 and that's because it is. Except the model you see above is actually a Pro model. According to Engadget, the Pro model will feature "a new scratch-resistant surface and silver inlays." It should feature an Intel ULV CPU and the same ol' ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics inside. Look out for it to make its debut at CES 2010.

The MSI X-Slim X600 has been creeping around for a while and has already been pegged to utilize Intel's new ULV CPUs. But today, I got the full spec sheet for you. The X600 has: a 15.6-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution (720p capable), up to 4GB of RAM, up to a 500GB HDD, up to a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 CPU, and ATI's Radeon Mobility HD 4330 graphics. The CPU really does have a range of ULV CPUs to choose from, so you're not stuck with the aforementioned one. Keep in mind though, they don't get any faster than the SU3500 for this notebook.

The X-Slim X600 lives up to its name by being just 25mm thick. The X600 also has other features, such as: a VGA / HDMI out, 3 USB 2.0 slots, four speakers, Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a 6-cell battery - that is good enough for who knows how long. The MSI X-Slim X600 will launch later this month for €799 ($1,123 USD) to €949 ($1,334 USD).

The MSI X-Slim X400 made its unofficial debut a couple of days ago, but now everything is official. MSI has just announced their new X-Slim models. Both the X400 and the X600 will: have LED-backlit displays (14 and 15-inches, respectively), have a 16:9 aspect ratio, and measure in at under 1-inch thick. They will also share a couple more features, including: up to 500GB of storage, up to 4GB of RAM, and Intel's Core 2 Solo CULV CPU.

The differences are minimal between the two laptops. The X-Slim X400 will be sporting Intel's GMA 4500MHD chipset, and will have an 8-cell battery option. The X-Slim X600, on the other hand, will have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics, an HDMI output, and a 9-cell battery option.

The pricing still hasn't been mentioned, but they could be in the $1,100 USD price range. As a bonus, here's what MSI had to say, thanks to Slash Gear.

MSI Marks a New Era of Slim, Thin, and Light Notebooks With Its Latest X-Slim Series
MSI Takes the Lead to Introduce Ultrathin Notebooks With Intel’s CULV
TAIPEI, Taiwan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MSI today announced that it has successfully reaffirmed its leading position by introducing a series of X-Slim laptops of various sizes. Following the success of the trend setter X-Slim X340, MSI plans to unveil the 14” X-Slim X400 and the 15” X-Slim X600 in the second quarter of 2009.
The X-Slim X600 and X400 have set records for lightness and thinness in their size categories. The 14” X-Slim X400, which comes with a super slender Li-poly battery, weighs only 1.5kg, and the 15” X-Slim X600 tips the scales at just 2.1kg with battery. Less than one inch thick, both models boast 16:9 theater-class LED screens, full I/O ports, and Blu-Ray support. The X600 also comes equipped with a discrete graphic card to maximize visual performance.
The X-Slim X340, with Intel® Core™2 Solo ULV Processor, offers super long battery life with MSI’s proprietary ECO Engine and weighs less than 1.3kg with 4 cell battery. X340 not only provides superior functionality to end users, but also triggers another trend in the ultra slim notebook sector.
MSI’s latest X-Slim series notebook features an optional 8 cell Long-endurance battery for X340 and X400 and an optional 9 cell Long-endurance battery for X600. To catch with the current market trend, all X-Slim series notebooks adopt external ODD drivers, which further enhances the slim, thin and light characters of X-Slim series.
“I believe MSI’s latest X-Slim Series is a complete line of products designed to set new industry standards and the introduction of the X-Slim Series will further strengthens our position in the notebook market and helps us reach a new development milestone,” said Mr. Joseph Hsu, Chief Executive Officer of MSI.
