MSI Wind U160 unboxed – Video

MSI announced a handful of new 10 inch netbooks with Intel Atom N450 processors in January. The MSI Wind U160 is probably the most attractive of the bunch.

MSI Wind U100 Plus spotted, toyed with on video

msi wind u100 plus

The MSI Wind U100 Plus is basically a modest upgrade to the classic MSI Wind U100. Both netbooks have the same keyboard, case design, and screen. But the Plus version has an ever-so-slightly faster processor. It replaces the Intel Atom N270 CPU with an N280 processor that runs at 1.66GHz and which has an FSB of 667MHz. The N270 chip…

OS X 10.5.7 reportedly improves hackintosh netbook battery life

Apple may not be releasing a netbook (or at least now one as we know it) anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean the company isn’t releasing software for netbooks. In what I can only guess is a happy accident, MSI Wind users who have installed hacked versions of OS X on their netbooks report that upgrading the operating system to…
