The chips possess Hyper-Threading capabilities and support DDR3 1333MHz memory. They also offer Intel Turbo Boost technology which is expected to improve the CPU clock speed.

If I had not just purchased a laptop, I would have held out for this one. But seeing that its not planning to hit the U.S anytime soon, I guess its all in good taste.

MSI ATOM N280 WIND U100 PLUS DEBUTS

Seems like MSI is blowing a lot of Wind lately (yes we know that was lame). But seriously this makes like the millionth variation to its popular Wind netbook. The new one (named the Wind U100 Plus) comes with the new N280 Atom 1.66GHz processor, 945GMS chipset, GMA950 integrated graphics, up to 2GB of DDR2-533 RAM, 10-inch LCD (1024 X 600), 160GB HDD, 4-in-1 multicard reader, VGA drive, 1.3 megapixel webcam.

We'd say its a bit lake to debut instant on OS as they are bound to cave within a few months seeing that Window's 7 is happily courting the netbook crowd.

TRANSCEND DEBUTS 192GB 2.5-INCH SSD

We'll be hoonest, this is not the best SSD available. On the other hand, packing nearly 200GB of solid state glory is not the worst we have seen in recent times.

The device promises to be pretty fast thanks to the SATA II interface which puts read speeds at 150MB per second and write speeds at 90MB a second.

The deivce also includes a battery for security purposes and integrated ECC which stands for Error Correction Code to verify that data that is transfered is done so in tact.

As for price, ProVantage has the device listed for "only" $417.55.
