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. I've got the chance to get fairly acquainted with the MSI Wind U100, one of the early competitors in the 10" range of the UMPC market. MSI did the right thing by skipping the 7-inch segment and went all-out with a 10-incher (there's an MSI Wind U90 at 8.9" but was never launched in the Philippines and the version I got was the MSI U100XP 10" running Windows XP). Likewise, the CPU core averages at 57 degrees Centigrade but because there was ample ventilation at the bottom and an exhaust fan blowing out from the left side, the MSI Wind does not heat up as much as the Asus Eee PC 701 running a Celeron M 900. In a way, we can now say that the MSI Wind has a good potential to be a primary laptop (see related story on Intel Atom here). At a median price of about Php26,000, the MSI Wind came in at the top of my choice for currently available netbooks in the market (see the complete price range here).
