MSI Wind12 U230 Notebook With Neo X2 Platform and ATI Graphics
Bring on the Windows 7 netbooks, or in this case, not netbooks. The 12.1-inch MSI Wind12 U230, which appeared on the MSI’s web site, looks like a netbook, feels like a Netbook with 2.9 kilograms and has the same 160GB hard drive. But it promises more powerful performance. It runs Windows 7 Home Premium, as opposed to the slimmed down Starter Edition, and packs AMD Athlon X2 Neo-platform which has a higher performance than Atom delivers punch (but shorter battery life battery).
In addition to a processor that is faster than a netbook (but weaker than a dual-core Intel ULV system), it promises stunning graphics performance for the screen size, thanks to a built-in ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. In fact, the notebook an HDMI port for output of HD content is (the screen itself has a resolution of 1366 x 768). We look forward not only the performance of the system graphics card, but what kind of game you can handle it to see how smoothly and it plays 720p video clips.
Again, the compromise for this neo-based system is likely the battery life.
MSI promises only four hours, while other affordable ultraportables such as Asus UL30A, last almost ten hours. Finally, the MSI U230, which is a “de-stress, ergonomic keyboard phone calls.” We are conossieurs, type, from keyboards (and touchpads) by now, so we are, what de-stress leads exactly curious.
No word yet on when the ship or U230, how much it will cost. Stay tuned.
