MSI Wind12 U210x in the flesh!

So curiosity got the better of me and I bought the new MSI Wind12 U210x that day I found out about its local availability. Turns out this model is selling like hot cakes and I got the last unit of the batch.

msi wind u210
This thing is already big to be called a netbook at 12.1 inches.

MSI Wind12 U210x
12.1â€³ screen @ 1355Ã—768 pixels
AMD Athlon Neo X2 L335 1.6GHz Dual Core
2GB DDR2 RAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 1270 128MB
250GB Toshiba SATA HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
1.3MP webcam
4-in-1 card reader
3 USB 2.0 ports
HDMI port
9-cell battery

The unit sells for Php22k for cash or straight charge (Php23k for 6 months 0% installment). They’d install Windows 7 RC for you if you like. The model with a licensed Vista OS costs Php26,500 (Php27.5k for installment) at Villman stores.

The AMD Athlon Neo dual core processor performs really well. Will post a full review and some benchmarks comparing it to the Intel Atom by next week.

I’m getting confused over MSI wind u210x and HP mini 311… which is better kaya? ATI or Nvidia?

I think this deserves an unboxing too Yuga, may tripod ka na ba?

I would very much like to see if it can handle H264 videos. AND how fast it can run games like Call of Duty 4 or Counterstrike Source
