MSI has officially launched the Wind U200 that was leaked yesterday. The computer has a 12 inch screen and an Intel Penryn ULV processor, so it’s not exactly a netbook. But it is part of the Wind family, which makes it the MSI Wind U100, U110, U115, U120, and U123’s big brother. Wow, that’s a lot of wind. Anyway, Sascha from NetbookNews.de snagged a bunch of pictures of the new laptop from the launch event. He notes that the laptop isn’t much larger than a 10.2 inch netbook, but features a nice roomy keyboard. From the photos, it doesn’t look like there’s much of a bezel around the display. And on the underside of the unit there’s a large access panel held on by just two screws, which means you should be able to upgrade the RAM or hard drive with minimal fuss.
Here’s a rundown of the specs:
* Display: 12 inch, 1366 x 768 pixels
* CPU: Intel Penryn SFF ULV processors
* Chipset: GS45 + ICH9M-SFF
* Graphics: Intel GMA 4500MHD
