MSI Wind U100

摘要

In the new budget ultraportable laptop class, the $499 MSI Wind U100 strikes the best balance yet between portability and performance. Powered by Intel's 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, the 2.3-pound Wind performs better than netbook competitors like the early Asus Eee PC models and HP's 2133 Mini-Note PC. It includes 1GB of RAM and currently ships with Windows XP Home Edition; the company's planning a lower-cost SUSE Linux version, as well. Storage comes from an 80GB hard drive-roomy compared with the solid-state drives used in some budget netbooks-but as with those other systems, there's no optical drive on the Wind.
