On the heels of getting our hands on the budget, Pine Trail-packing Wind U135 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/msi-wind-u135-hands-on-impressions/), MSI gave us a heads up that at CES it'll be releasing the totally redesigned 10-inch Wind U160. The pictures make it look ever so trim and classy, though we can't help but notice the chassis' uncanny resemblance to the Toshiba Mini NB205 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/toshiba-nb205-netbook-reviewed-loved/). Under the lid it appears to have a chiclet keyboard and a touchpad that's only differentiated from the palmrest by a grid of raised dots (eh hem, ASUS (http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-eee-pc-1005pe-review/2549094#2549103)). Inside it's got that 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/intels-next-gen-pine-trail-atom-processors-officially-announced/) we've been hearing so much about and most likely the array of standard netbook specs. MSI claims the battery will last for more than 10 hours on a charge, and pricing for the U160 will start at around $350. We'll be bringing you more information and hands-on impressions out in Vegas, but in the meantime feast your eyes on the glamor shots below.
