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.
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 wonder how CULV processors actually work in real life. do they really give you that much of battery savings?
eto na yata hinihintay mo abe, hdmi ports on netbooks.
ooooh! time to upgrade the trusty old wind u100
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.
how about service center ,do they have it here in RP?
ok yan, a 12 inch netbook is good to the eyes
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!
