Updated MSI X340 has longer battery life, lower price

From Laptop Mag -

MSI has made some much-needed improvements to its X340, making this ultraportable much more affordable and attractive to consumers. The company is now offering it with a 8-cell battery, boosting battery life to 8 hours and 48 times. In addition, price has been lowered from $899 to $799. A minor downside is that extended battery increases the weight from 2.8 lbs to 3.4 lbs, although it is not that bad of a trade-off. Lastly, the keyboard's excessive flex has also been fixed.
