The MSI Wind U230 is finally available for order online. You can check out our first impressions here, but the U230 is basically either a very powerful netbook or a sub-notebook, whichever you want to call it. It has a 12.1″ 1366 x 768 HD screen and a beefy CPU/GPU combination for HD video playback and processing power closer to a full laptop than a netbook, while still staying portable.
Here are the specs:
- AMD Congo CPU MV40 / L335, AMD RS780MN + SB710
- Graphics: ATi Radeon HD3200
- LCD Display: 12.1″ 1366*768 HD Ready

- HDD: 160GB/250GB/320GB SATA
