MSI is improving its line of new laptops with the release new ultraportables.

The company initially revealed its MSI X320, which looks like a MacBook Air last month at CES. It’s a 13.4-inch laptop powered by 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530.

The news is its early successor, the new x340 which packs more power but consumes lesser electricity. The computer belongs to the Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) line of processors that could be the next big thing in mobile computing.

Andy Tung, MSI’s Director of U.S. Sales introduced the product to the press. “At launch you will see [the x340 with] two specs. They are both using Intel’s Consumer ULV CPUs. One is the CULV Intel Celeron M 725 and the second one will be the Core 2 Solo SU3500,” he said.

The price of these new computers isn’t clear as of this writing. According to Tung, x340 will be around $750. The x320 will be around $700.

If you’re unsure as to what you should get, Tung gave us a pointer. “To have the best battery life on this product the Z530 is the only choice, but the CULV platform will provide better performance,” he said.

They will be available in the US this April.
