A couple of new netbooks have hit the “just announced” pool, and while MSI’s Wind models don’t usually grab me, the U130 and U135 do, thanks to the inclusion of Atom’s new Pine Trail processors.
Just like we’ve seen manufacturers like Dell push netbooks to the 12-inch barrier, Engadget China spotted a new offering from MSI that looks to follow suit.
MSI has gotten more official with its Wind Top AE1900—the nettop that only needs a 45W trickle of power—finally giving us a price: $US529. Which is cheaper than some “netbooks” nowadays.
New Wind offers options of the 3G/WiMAX solution, TV tuner, and EasyFace Security Identification Software!!!a
Every major netbook manufacturer has their own budget MacBook Air-like system coming to the market soon. Here’s the first look at something slightly more spacious, MSI’s X340, a full-sized 13.4-inch laptop in a petite frame.
To be honest, netbooks scare me, but nettops scare me even more. Why do I need a neutered PC that isn’t portable? Well, at least the platform doesn’t need much power—even with a monitor.
It’s been out overseas for some time, but it looks like the MSI Wind U120 has gone on sale in the US.
A netbook might make an alright Valentine’s Day gift (depending on your lady/guy), but does it really need to resemble a Valentine’s card?
Seeing that the need for a warranty-voiding Wi-Fi module switch was the only thing keeping users from easily making convincing mini-MacBooks, MSI has semi-released OS X wireless drivers for the Wind.
