Three New Netbook Releases By MSI

MSI has been out of the spotlight for a while, leaving most onlookers to contemplate what it could possibly be working on for all this time. The answer has arrived and it’s sure to please: the new MSI Wind U123 as well as the MSI X-Slim X320, and X340, three new netbooks featuring 3G, WiMAX support, and TV tuners.

The answer is coming out of this week’s CTIA show in Vegas. MSI’s new netbooks will be taking off in the next few months, and each will have a nice set of features to add to the mix.

Aside from the 3G/WiMAX and TV tuner, the 10.2-inch MSI Wind U123 netbook is expected to be along the same lines we’re used to – an Intel Atom, Windows XP, 1 GB of RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 6-cell battery.

The X320 and X340 netbooks, however, are pushing the envelope in terms of screen size and coming in at the seemingly exorbitant prices of $700 and $1000 respectively. What do you get for all that cash? The MSI X320 has an Intel Atom Z530 chip, 2 GB of RAM, and a massive 250 GB HDD. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and WiMAX will all come standard as well.

The cranked up MSI X340 netbook, to contrast, will run a 1.3 GHz Intel Core 2 Solo CULV SU3500 CPU. It is somewhat difficult to call it a netbook, as will will deliver up to 4 GB of RAM and, somehow, 320 GB of hard drive space. Both X-series netbooks will run Vista Home on 13.4-inch screens using 4-cell batteries.

MSI’s new netbook releases should start making appearances around May of this year.
