HOT: Saples MSI X340 Pro Laptop under $400

[right4you]

Staples is selling MSI X340 for under $400. Besides the following features, it has Bluetooth, Built-in Gigabit Ethernet LAN, 8 cells battery, wired mouse, leather case and eligible for Windows 7 upgrade. It has been OOS online as usual but you may find some in store. I think this is a very hot deal. Good luck!

It only comes with a 4 cell battery instead of 8 cell.

This is the un-upgraded older model with lots of flex in the keyboard.

There are still tons of these instore.

Mine has BTY-S31. It looks like a 8-cell battery.

Besides memory, what kind of upgrade do you want to do on a netbook? I believe 2GB is sufficient for this baby so I think it has every thing that a netbook should have.

Why is mine a 4 cell :( Picked it up today as well.

I mean it is the un-upgraded model with the flexing keyboard. The new model with the 8 cell came out in July with a keyboard fix, but mine flexes horribly, and is a 4 cell, so it is the older model.

No way to hackintosh these = fail. ;)

But a good deal for Windoze users. ;) Does this qualify for a Windows 7 upgrade?

Agree. The keyboard is not the greatest.

damn should have got this instead of x200 would have saved alot of cash

Typing on one now and the keyboard is terrible. Just...terrible.
I grabbed one for $379 ($20 coupon) so I'll live with it. Otherwise a very light, nice looking machine. Screen is amazingly bright.

Call around.
I post this deal since I saw many people were crazy about Acer Timeline deal at $450 a couple of days ago. I think this deal is comparable if not more decent.

They will all have a 4 cell. Though apparently you can buy the 8 cell battery for US$99.
