It sure took 'em long enough -- just over four months (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/msis-wind12-u230-flaunts-amd-athlon-neo-x2-chip-windows-7-os/) if you're keeping score -- but MSI has finally shipped its next-generation netbook. The AMD-powered Wind12 U230 has left the docks today in two distinct flavors (the U230-033 and U230-040), with both touting Windows 7 Home Premium, a 12.1-inch WXGA (1,366 x 768) display, ATI's Radeon HD3200 graphics, 2GB of RAM, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 6-cell battery and a 1.3 megapixel camera. The duo also features three USB sockets, VGA / HDMI outputs, an Ethernet port, audio in / out, a 4-in-1 card reader and a chassis that weighs in at 3.3 pounds. As for the differences? The former ships with an AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/MV-40/) under the hood and a 250GB HDD, while the latter sports an Athlon X2 L335 CPU and a 320GB platter. Both are available for the taking right now at NewEgg, though it's on you to decide if the the second model is really worth the extra $50 over the $429.99 base price.Continue reading MSI starts shipping two 12.1-inch, AMD-powered Wind12 U230 netbooks (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/msi-starts-shipping-two-12-1-inch-amd-powered-wind12-u230-netbo/)
