Netbook Review UK

The MSI Wind U135DX (above) may look familir.  If it does, it’s because it’s identical to the current MSI Wind U135.   But there is one important difference. This new model has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor while the original ships with a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 chip.  The only real difference between Intel’s N450 and N455 chips is that the Atom N455 supports DDR3 memory, but for some reason the MSI product page for the Wind U135DX says the netbook ships with 1GB of DDR2 RAM. Go figure.

The rest of the specs are, a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, Intel GMA 3150 graphics, 160GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 0.3MP camera, flash card reader, 3 USB ports, and VGA output.

The MSI Wind U135DX will be available with a choice of a 3 or 6 cell battery. There’s no word on pricing or availability yet but the current MSI Wind U135 is available for £314.11.
