MSI Slidebook S20 Pro Reviews

Nope. Still not sold on the slider form factor. Like we've been saying, Ultrabooks with this design are flawed almost by definition, with the propped-up display usually ruining the typing experience. That's true of the Slidebook S20 too, though the build quality is so lacking that we're almost insulted MSI dared to charge $1,200 for this thing. It's also tough to recommend a laptop with high-end, Ultrabook-grade specs when it doesn't even have a mouse or touchpad for navigating desktop apps in 1080p. If nothing else (and really, there aren't many nice things to say), we appreciate that the battery life is longer than on some other 11-inch PCs with similar specs. What's more, MSI figured out how to make a slider with an adjustable display, which other OEMs should take note of -- if they decide to make any more systems with this form factor. Truly, though, we'd suggest getting another slider or, better yet, an Ultrabook with a different design altogether.
