MSI unveils Wind U210 netbook
It will be powered by an AMD Neo processor
Intel powered MSI Wind U200 gets an AMD powered brother, the MSI Wind U210
It seems as if MSI is busy upgrading its models. First, it was the X-Slim X610 which is similar to the X-Slim X600 except the fact that it has an AMD Neo processor. Then, we saw the X-Slim X340 which got a bigger battery and a lower price tag. Now, MSI has added an AMD Neo processor to the Wind U200 and has named the new machine - Wind U210.
MSI has already launched the MSI Wind U200 netbook which has a 12-inch (1366 x 768) display powered by a Celeron ULV SFF 723 CPU and Intel GS45 chipset with GMA 4500M graphics. It comes with:
· 1GB RAM (2GB max)
· 250GB HDD
· Wi-Fi (including Draft n)
· Bluetooth
· 4-in-1 card reader
· 1.3MP webcam
· Three USB ports
· HDMI port
Now, MSI is planning to launch the Wind U210 which will have the same feature set as the Wind U200 netbook but, the internals will undergo a slight change. The MSI Wind U210 will be powered by a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core MV40 processor coupled with 2GB RAM and a 250GB SATA HDD. Graphics will be provided by the onboard ATI Mobility Radeon X1250, HyperMemory (integrated) GPU. Connectivity will be provided by Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, and Bluetooth. The Wind U210 will be available in the following two configurations:
