I called up the MSI Concept Store in Mall of Asia and confirms this promo with the black color in stock.
i bought mine last november 2009. ang maganda lang kasi 9cell last like 6-7hrs… then ang ganda talaga nung hd display. un ang pinakamaganda sa release na to. maganda rin ung games. i downloaded sims 3, and it worked well lalo na with the graphics.

well i got one my self and right now it is running on windows 7 since free DOS naman yung 22 K na unit . so far okay lang naman yung performance nya. maganda ang streaming ng videos.
hi, is this laptop durable? also does it get easily hot because of the amd processor?
msi is actually having a contest and giving 5 of these units away. If you don’t want to buy it just now, maybe can try to win one of these. Usually not many people enter their contests because no one hears about them here in the states. msi is usually more popular in europe or asia. yeah, i say check out the contest if you’re skeptical about the product. it’s one of those design the cover/skin and get the most votes type contest. and i think the winning design actually gets painted onto the u210 and given to the winner. i think that’s pretty cool. and two runner ups get the original white or black unit. pretty nice. and 2 voters get randomly chosen to win too. i know it’s gonna happen for sure around mid-nov. i read on their tweet some time back. so this should happen. it’s gonna be on their msimobile.com website.
@yuga – $399 is SRP.. i don’t think importers get it at THAT price.. and US & EU taxes more than us..
“net”books in short are “internet” appliances not gaming or multimedia devices, or else, “note”books..
Sir Yuga,
Since you own this model, may i know how’s the performance? My 1-yr old EeePc 1000H just gave up on me (motherboard malfunction) and I need to replace it come December.
@petken – when buying in the US, just make sure that the merchant is very trustworthy and you have international warranty. There’s no 100% guarantee but at least you can have it replaced, just like what you’ve experienced.
