The MSI Wind U230 is powered by a dual core AMD Neo processor. It has a 12.1 inch display. We first heard about the laptop last month, but then it disappeared. It has officially resurfaced now.
In size and shape, the Wind U230 isn’t much different from other Wind U2xx line of notebooks. But while other machines in the line have Intel processors, the Wind U230 is powered by a 1.6 GHz AMD Congo Neo X2 processor with ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics. The machine supports DirectX 10 standard and is capable of HD video playback.
MSI Wind U230 specifications
Display: 12.1 inch display with 1366 x 768 pixels
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium
Memory: 2GB (Expandable to 4GB)
Hard drive: 160GB/250GB/320GB
Connectivity options include WiFi 802.11b/g/n, LAN 10/100/1000 and Bluetooth (optional). There are 3 USB ports, a 4-in-1 card reader, a 1.3 MP webcam, microphone and a headphone jack. There is an HDMI port for transferring video to an external monitor. There is also a VGA port for connecting the notebook to a larger display. The machine is available with 3 or 6 cell batteries.
The notebook measures just 1.2 inches in thickness and weighs around 2.9 pounds with the 3-cell battery.
Bloggers who reviewed an early engineering model of the notebook claims that while Wind U230 can’t perform better than systems with Intel’s SU7300 processor in CPU benchmarks, it is way ahead of other notebooks with Intel GMA X4500MHD and GMA 950 graphics when it comes to playing 3D video games.
At around 4 hours, the battery life is far from being impressive. But MSI may address the issue before officially launching the notebook early next year.
