Wind is back with U135

Posted by GiZmo-Spot | Wednesday, February 03, 2010

Netbook maker MSI is introducing its new model to the netbook market, the Wind U135. It has the new Intel Atom N450 processor runs at 1.66ghz paired with 1GB DDR2 Memory. several features are still the same as the previous Wind U100 with 250GB SATA hard drive, integrated webcam with microphone, 10" LED LCD display, a Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth, 6 cell battery, and a 10/100 LAN. It will no longer run on Windows XP since the pre-installed OS is now Windows 7 Starter. The Intel Atom N450 processor is now 64bit capable, supports hyper-threading for multi-tasking applications

The Wind is also one of the cheapest netbook in the market. the unique plastic body shell and the build quality is great. it comes in matte black finish and the keyboard is now better than before. the only downside here where most netbooks fail is the graphics performance. We all know that it has an on-board graphics chip thus it will result in poor playback performance. It doesn't have Nvidia's ION GPU that Lenovo S12 has.

In short, MSI U135 gizmo is just another netbook with an upgraded processor, a fancy design, lacks performance, and an improved build quality, period.
