MSI’s Thin & Light X-Slim X320 notebook is now available in the U.S. through outlets like Newegg. In case you’ve forgotten, the MSI X-Slim X320 features a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor, 2GB of RAM, 250GB hard drive, 802.11 n Wi-Fi, built-in Bluetooth, 1.3MP camera, a 4-cell battery and Windows Vista Home Premium. Intel’s GMA 500 graphics come integrated and the 16:9 13-inch display features 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. There’s also a 2-in-1 card reader built-in along with 3 USB ports, an Ethernet port, stereo speakers and a VGA-out port. If you’d rather get this than a netbook, prepare to shell out $599 USD.

Chris of Netbook Reviews tipped us that he saw a product listing of the upcoming Eee PC 1008HA at Newegg.com.  The product listing showed that the Eee PC 1008HA was supposed to retail for $429 at the online retailer. Also the Newegg was supposed to start shipping the Eee PC 1008HA on May 18. This was despite the fact that no US release date has been announced by Asus yet.

Interestingly, a moment after, Chris also found out the the link has been deactivated. The product page is still up, but a note was added that says, “This product is no longer available.”

Could this be a case of miscommunication on the part of Newegg and Asus? Is Asus planning to announce a new price for the Eee PC 1008HA?  We’re inclined to believe that we will all find out soon.

The Samsung NC20 is probably one of the most anticipated netbooks that hasn’t been released yet. Well, according to Laptop, it will finally be available in the U.S., albeit exclusive from Newegg, starting on March 16th. It will be available in black, with a 5900 mAh battery for a still unspecified price. You can use Amazon UK’s price for reference, though, and that puts it at about $478 USD.
