Last week, MSI introduced a new netbook prototype showing what it hopes to bring consumers in the near future. It's called the Wind12 U230, and it rocks up to 4 GB of RAM, an integrated Radeon HD3200 GPU, a SATA hard drive in capacities ranging up to 320 GB as well as Windows 7 Home Premium. Other features include HDMI out, Ethernet, and 3 USBs. This isn't a netbook to be messed with.
The surface area of the keyboard has expanded while restricting the device to 11.7″ x 7.5″. It's still light at 1.3 kg. Its 3 cell battery runs for over 4 hours, and while I'd hoped we'd be getting a 6-cell option as well there's no word on that just yet.
MSI is starting to truly bridge the gap between netbooks and notebooks. This machine will definitely be able to play games you'd otherwise be unable too, though the price tag will likely be high enough to justify what it gets you.
Pricing and availability are unknown for now, but we'll be on it when the info's out there.
