MSI U200 launched, another 12-inch netbook

Paul Merak — Wed, 13 May 2009 18:03:15 +0000

After 10-inch netbooks, 12-inch netbooks are on rage right now. MSI U200 is decent looking netbook, which comes with an impressive resolution: 1366 x 768. You do not see that resolution on a netbook often. Rest of its specs are pretty much netbook-ish:GMA 4500M integrated graphics, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 2GB of DDR2 memory, and 250GB HDD. It weighs 1.4kg and comes with a 3-cell battery. There is no information on the price as of nowI love the fact that it comes with such a decent resolution, perfect for doing stuff which requires high resolution such as running Visual Studio. Also, 2GB RAM should make processing even more smooth.

MSI U123, U123T and U123H netbooks launched

Paul Merak — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:58:24 +0000

MSI U123 is the successor of now aging U100. The U123 comes with 2GB RAM and uses the N280 Intel Atom processor. The MSI has also launched MSI U123H, which is similar to the U123 except for the fact that it comes with built-in 3.5G. The U123T comes with a built-in TV tuner card, which will let you watch (and record) TV programs on your netbook.However, it is not a huge upgrade. I was looking forward to higher resolution. 1024 x 600 is nice but 1280 x 800 is something I would have really appreciated.One piece of information that the MSI is repeatedely mentioning in the news release is the massive capacity of U123, which is 160GB. What? We have been using the 160GB HDD in our netbooks from quite sometime. In fact, it is a standard feature in netbooks these days and there is no need to mention it 4 times in the news release.
