MSI Wind U100 Plus
MSI today unveiled a last real update to its starter netbooks in the Wind U100 Plus. The new version trades up to the 1.66GHz Atom N280 and its faster, 533MHz system bus. It also brings two new colors, midnight blue and rose champagne (light pink) alongside the existing black, red and white. MSI claims 7 hours of battery life for the system on a 6-cell pack.
Its features beyond the new processor and appearance are the same as for the previous Wind and bring 1GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive, 802.11n Wi-Fi, a webcam and Bluetooth to the same 10-inch design as before. MSI hasn't priced out the U100 Plus or said whether it will carry over to the US.
