MSI has introduced their latest netbook, the Wind U135DX. This netbook comes packed with a 10.1-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, an Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM (DDR3 RAM support though), a 160GB HDD, integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics, WiFi b/g/n support, a 0.3MP webcam, a card reader, three USB 2.0 ports, a 3 / 6-cell battery, and a VGA output. As usual, MSI didn't bother mentioning the price or the release date.

Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, Engadget spotted this MSI Wind Pad 110 tablet on display at Computex already. This tablet is clearly running Android and inside you'll find Nvidia's Tegra chipset. It's pretty interesting so far so we'll just have to wait a couple of hours more for a bit more information.

It looks like MSI has just introduced their 10-inch MSI Wind Pad 100 tablet. This is sporting an Intel Atom CPU along with Windows 7 and MSI's own Wind Touch UI. Other specs include 3G / WiFi connectivity, an HDMI port, USB ports, and a webcam / microphone - it also weighs 800 grams. It might seem good on paper, but a tablet running Windows 7 will do no one any good.

MSI has just introduced their 3D-capable AE2420 Wind Top all in one PC ahead of Computex which is coming up in a couple of days. We saw this in February earlier this year and it's sporting a 24-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 resolution) multitouch 3D display - it comes with one pair of active shutter glasses. Inside you'll find Intel Core i5 / i7 CPU options and ATI Mobility Radeon HD5730 graphics for good measure. Of course, it has a VGA output, some USB 2.0 ports, and Ethernet jack, two 5W speakers, and Windows 7. Look out for it at Computex - like I said.

It looks like the MSI Wind U160 netbook is about to get updated seeing how there has just been a leaked picture of the Wind U160DX. The design is still the same, but inside you'll find a new Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz CPU, some DDR3 RAM, MSI's Turbo Drive Engine, and a 15-hour battery. We should be seeing this at Computex in under two weeks.

At Computex we can expect MSI to unveil their Wind U140 netbook. This netbook is expected to feature an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz CPU, a 10-inch display, a 3-cell battery, and optional WiMAX. The Wind U135 is said to have a WiMAX option in the future as well. MSI also plans to show off their X-Slim X350 and X420 notebooks at the event as well.

MSI has just updated a couple of their own netbooks. They've just introduced the Wind L1300, L1350, and L2300, which are updates of the U130, U135, and the U230. Both the L1300 and the L1350 both sport a 10.1-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution along with an Intel Atom N4500 1.66GHz CPU. The L1300 runs Windows XP, while the L1350 runs Windows 7 Starter Edition.

The larger L2300 sports a 12.1-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution along with an AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 1.6GHz CPU.

A couple of MSI netbooks have just been spotted online. The first one is the Wind U160 which features a 10-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, 1GB of RAM, an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz CPU, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth support, a 1.3MP webcam, a 250GB HDD, a 6-cell battery, and Windows 7 Starter Edition. It's now available for pre-order online for $379.99 USD but there's no indication of a launch date. The black model is here and the brown / gold model is here thanks to Amazon.

The other netbook spotted on Amazon by MSI is the Wind U230 and this one's rocking a dual-core AMD Athlon X2 L335 1.6GHz CPU along with a 12.1-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution. Other specs include the standard ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, a 1.3MP webcam, WiFi b/g/n support, an HDMI port, a 6-cell battery that should last 4 hours, and Windows 7 Home Premium. This one's up for pre-orders as well for $479.99 so check it out here.

Right on schedule it looks like Buy.com is now offering the MSI Wind U135 netbook for $324.99. This netbook is available in black and features typical netbook features: a 10-inch display, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz CPU, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support, a 6-cell battery, a 1.3MP webcam, and Windows 7.

Just like we heard two days ago, MSI has just unveiled their 3D notebooks and their dual-screen e-ook reader. Of course, they've also unveiled their fair share of netbooks with Intel Atom N450 CPUs - more specifically the Wind U135. Their 3D notebook consists of a 15.6-inch display with 120Hz and 3D technology. You'll have to wear glasses for the 3D effect, so I doubt you'll want to wear those in public.

They also have a couple of gaming notebooks on deck with Nvidia GT640 / GT740 / GX640 / GX740 graphics, and Intel Core i5 / Core i7 CPU options. They've unveiled the X-Slim X360 notebook as well and it'll have the new Intel "Arrandale" ULV CPUs.

Update: According to Gizmodo, there's also the Wind Top AE2420, which has an Intel Core i3 / i5 CPU, a 24-inch multi-toucshcreen display, a 500GB / 1TB HDD, ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series graphics, six USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI / VGA ouput. This all-in-one PC will be available for $1,199 USD.

The e-book reader is said to contain two 10-inch capacitive multi-touchscreen displays. From what I've seen it looks less like an e-book reader and more of a dual-screen netbook. This is especially considering that you can use one screen as a keyboard and the fact that it's powered by a Intel Atom Z Series CPU and is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Engadget actually just got their hands-on this device so check it out here. MSI is planning to launch this e-book reader this year, so let's hope they can pull through on their promise.

After months of waiting the MSI Wind U110 Eco netbook it's now available in the US. It's been a while since I've covered anything about this netbook, so I figured you'd need a refresher. The Wind U110 Eco comes with: a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, an Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, an integrated webcam, a 4-in-1 card reader, a gigabit Ethernet port, and a 9-cell battery that will supposedly last for 9 hours. It's now available for $399.99, so check out the official Amazon listing here.

Okay, well, it won't be in December, but MSI will be releasing their netbook / tablet hybrid with Windows 7 and Intel's Pine Trail Atom platform next year. It will be the MSI Wind U150 and according to MSI, Pine Trail will be launched at next year's CES.

Before the Wind U150 gets launched, we'll see the MSI Wind U210 which has an AMD CPU. The Wind U210 will be available early next month for $379 USD with Windows XP and $429 USD with Windows Vista Home Premium.

The MSI Wind12 U200 is now on MSI's official website. This notebook has: a 12.1-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, an Intel Core 2 Colo ULV 1.4GHz CPU, up to 4GB of RAM, integrated GMA 4500MHD graphics, a 160GB / 250GB / 320GB HDD, WiFi, a card reader, optional Bluetooth, and a 3-cell battery. Unfortunately, the price and release date have not been officially announced yet.

Why Microsoft, why? According to the latest reports, Microsoft has banned the ability for netbooks to have hybrid storage systems, like the MSI Wind U115. The Wind U115 Hybrid netbook has this technology and, according to some tests, has the best battery life (for a netbook). Microsoft, though, doesn't like this and now the Wind U115 is being pulled from store shelves, which is a big disappointment. If you can't find it in stores, the MSI Wind U115 is still being sold on the official site (for $500 USD), but who knows how long it will be up for.

[Engadget]

If you remember back in January, we heard that the MSI Wind U115 will be capable of running an SSD and an HDD at the same time using a new hybrid storage technology. The Wind U115 has: a 10-inch display, Intel's Atom Z530 CPU, a 6-cell battery, and 720p video playback to cap it off. It is now shipping for £450 - £500 ($675 USD - $750 USD) in the UK, but it is also available in Japan. Apparently, the Wind U115 is the netbook with one of the longest lasting batteries out there, according to MadShrimps. I hope we can get a double check on that though.

MSI is best known for their laptops, to my belief, and here is the supposed Wind U200. The leaked / rumoured spec sheet consists of: a 12-inch LED-backlit display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, Intel's CULV CPU, GMA 4500M graphics, WiFi, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 250GB HDD. The said laptop will also be equipped with a 3-cell battery, which will hopefully be upgradeable to a 6-cell, and will weigh just 3 pounds. Engadget's guessing that the Wind U200 will be in the $700 USD price range, so we'll have to see how that plays out.

2 laptops from MSI have just been detailed. First off, the MSI Wind U123 will have 3 models: the U123, U123H, and U123T. The MSI Wind U123 netbook will have the same specs that were seen on April 1 (so it's no joke) and it will be seen as the "standard" model. The U123H, on the other hand, will have "a 3.5G (HSDPA) WWAN module." The U123T will have an integrated TV tuner, but as Engadget points out, it looks like there will be no way to get both the TV tuner and the 3.5G-ness. Don't forget to scroll down to read up on information regarding the MSI GX403 gaming laptop.

The MSI GX403 was also announced today and it is a gaming laptop. It has a 14-inch display (no word on if it will be HD though), a Centrino 2 Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, a GeForce GT 130M graphics card, a 500GB HDD, an integrated 1.3MP webcam, a Blu-ray player, an HDMI port and WiFi. There is no word on when the laptop will be available and for what price. It'll probably have a US release, but no one knows when it will be. It has decent specs and a Blu-ray drive, so it could be a bit expensive.
