MSI Wind U200 gets official, handled in Taipei

Oh hey, guess what else Engadget Chinese got hands-on with today? The MSI Wind U200 that leaked yesterday. Official specs on the Wind U100 followup are just like we said: 12-inch, 1366 x 768 pixel LED-backlit display, Celeron ULV SFF 723 processor, GMA 4500M graphics, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 2GB of DDR2 memory, and 250GB disk, and 1.4-kg with 3-cell battery. Still no pricing or release but we're sure that Computex (kicking off June 2nd) will change all that.

this still counted as a netbook or an ultraportable??

[Cyrs Posted May 14th 2009 6:58AM]

Well I would say ultraportable, it has no atom cpu but a Celeron ULV, and 720p resolution with a 12" screen, that's definitely a ultraportable. I understand your confusion though, since the definition for a netbook nowadays is all over the damn place.

3cell battery -_-
why wouldnt you want to pay 50$ extra to get twice the mobilty?

intel seriously needs to quit making gpu's...seriously!

[Oli D Posted May 14th 2009 10:19AM]

are you serious?

[(Unverified) Posted May 14th 2009 6:32PM]

GPUs bitch, not CPUs.

[apairofdocs Posted May 14th 2009 7:11AM]

I am getting tired of all these Intel GMA4500 Graphics, I want (Really want) some Ion netbooks.

Though as far as netbook ultaportable mixes go I like this one. (I just wish it had ION)

[Oli D Posted May 14th 2009 10:22AM]

Yeah GMA is not great.

Ion should be interesting, although i expect it will be slightly less awesome in everyway that what everyone has been predicting.

I cannot wait until a Windows 7 dual core Atom Ion graphics OLED screen 11" netbook is released.
(Or for that matter one with OS X...)

[Technorama Posted May 14th 2009 7:27AM]

Any hope for an UMTS version soon? Then it would be really "ultraportable" for me.

[Technorama Posted May 14th 2009 7:28AM]

And another stupid question: Any hope for a *non*glossy display

[Cyrs Posted May 14th 2009 7:32AM]

Seriously, wth do companies have against matte displays?!

[Oli D Posted May 14th 2009 10:23AM]

Hey glossys are just fine.
