MSI makes 12.1-inch Wind U200 official + full spec list

Whilst the MSI Wind U200 12.1-inch netbook has already had a launch event back in May, the company has only just got around to officially announcing the device. The Wind U200 has a high-resolution (1366 x 768) LED backlit glossy display and is powered by Intel’s Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) processor.

Two processors are listed, the 723 & SU3500, which means there are likely to be different SKUs. A maximum of 4GB RAM is allowed, it also comes with a 1.3MP webcam and three USB ports. The company claims that the 6-cell battery should last for 6.5 hours when running in ECO Turbo mode. This is a good time considering the size of the display.

The Wind U200 weighs a reasonable 1.4kg (with the 3-cell battery) and is 31mm at its thickest point. The press release didn’t give any detail on price points and availability although it can’t be too long now, especially since the AMD version (Wind U210) is already out in Europe.
