MSI Wind U200 drops Atom for a Pentium

Listen to article

MSI’s next Wind U-series netbook line is dropping the Atom for a Pentium CULV processor in its upcoming 12″ MSI Wind u200 ultra-mobile notebook.

The specs of this Wind U200 is very similar to that of Acer’s Timeline and Gateway LT series.

msi wind u200
Intel Pentium CULV  SU2700 @ 1.3GHz
12″ dislay screen @ 1366×768 pixel resolution
Intel Mobile GS40 Express chipset
4GB DDR2 RAM
320GB HDD 5400rpm
Gigabit Ethernet
WiFi 802.11b/g/n
3 x USB 2.0 ports
1 HDMI port
4-in-1 card reader
1.3 MP webcam
6-cell battery
Microsoft Vista Home Premium

No idea when will this be shipped to the Philippines or how much they’ll cost but since MSI is also offering the X-Slim series between Php30k to Php40k, it might end up somewhere near that price point.

I have the same sentiments as Calvin – how much would the CULV processors really differ? Any ideas Sir Abe?

If only this has Nvidia’s ION platform built-in then this would be the perfect notebook! :P

what about battery life. would that be the same as our regular notebooks? only 2hours of battery life?

Atom can withstand around 5hours of continuous computing use at a 6cell variant.

if they ditch Atom out, i was wishing they could have used another newer power efficient CPU.
