MSI Wind U120

Netbook aficionados will be happy to know the folks over Laptop Mag have just dropped their official write-up of the new ultraportable from MSI. The MSI Wind U120 offers up a bright, 10 inch display, the latest Atom processor, and an extra-big hard drive.

The U120 decided to go with sharp, clean angles all around, a glossy cover, and a reflective screen bezel. The travel weight totals 3.4 pounds if you factor in its AC adapter. The unit itself isn’t quite as small as the HP Mini 1000, but weighs approximately as much as the lauded Lenovo IdeaPad S10. The mouse included two distinct buttons, an upgrade from the single-click layout found in the original Wind. Users should take readily to the keyboard, which offers excellent spring-back and  includes oversized shift and backspace keys.

The MSI Wind U120 is set to retail at $379. Also, expect to get up to 4.5 hours on a single battery charge – pretty remarkable, if you ask us. MSI Wind U120 MSI Wind U120 MSI Wind U120 MSI Wind U120...
