Reviews for the MSI X-Slim X600 215UK MS-1691
Source: PC Advisor
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 that at £399, the X600 is very good value indeed.
