MSI (Micro-Star International) has added netbooks in its product list recently. The MSI Wind netbook comes in two versions U90 and U100, both of them differ mainly in screen size.

The U90 and U100 both have the same specifications except that U90 is a 9 inch laptop while the U100 is a 10 inch laptop. The wind netbooks are powered by Intel's Atom 270 processor and have a memory option of 512 MegaBytes or 1 GigaBytes. The hard-disk drive capacity stands at 80 GigaBytes of SATA technology.

Like most of the netbooks, the MSI comes with a webcam, ethernet, wifi, card-reader, optional bluetooth support. The weight of the netbook with a 3-cell battery totals to just a little under 1 Kilogram, which is great for a netbook.
