MSI announced the worldwide availability of the MSI Wind U135. The netbook will be priced from $309.99 (I seemed to see the basic version at $316.99 on Amazon…). The Intel N450 processor of the netbook consumes only 7 Watts and MSI expects that the battery life is increased by 15% compared to previous models. For the performance, they announced a 10% improvement, but it really depends on what you do. To help users to manage battery life, MSI has included a utility that allows you to select multiple “modes”: Gaming, Movie, Presentation, Document and Turbo. Specifications include:
- Intel Atom N450 1.66Ghz processor
- 10-inch display (1024 x 600 pixels), Intel GMA3150 graphics card
- Hard drive from 160 to 250GB
- Wi-Fi n
- Battery of 3 and 6 cells
- Weight between 1.1 and 1.2kg depending on battery
