Not much has changed from the previous model. The main difference is that the standard configuration ships with 160GB (as opposed to 80GB in the older Wind), and there’s an option to add a 3.5G modem. Other than that, MSI slightly altered the appearance of the netbook: The older Wind was all white or all black with rounded corners; the new one has straight edges and is all white with black accents.

The company hasn’t announced an official price yet, but a spokesman said the Wind U120 will be “significantly under $600.” The current U100 model is selling for roughly $400, and I think we can expect to see a similar price tag. There isn’t an official release date, either, but MSI said the netbook will hit stores sometime mid-December.

  1. Hmm… almost no difference at all. Mine’s 2G memory pa.

    6 cell battery lang lamang nya sa akin of which i’ll have one soon kasi MSI have a promo right now XD

  2. That and this: Modem: Intel WiMAX Technology / 3.5G (HSDPA) Solution
    probably with the n330 dualcore atom, which makes sense because of the chassis upgrades MSi is also offering right now =)
