Russian netbook fans are getting a rebranded version of the MSI Wind U100 laptop. You can already pick up a U90, which is the 9 inch version of the Wind in Russia. But for those looking for a roomier 10 inch screen, there’s the Roverbook Neo U100.
The Neo U100 appears to be prety much identical to the version of the MSI Wind available in the US. I say appears, because my Russian is not so good (read: nonexistent), and Google Translate doesn’t show me any real specs like hard drive capacity, CPU speed, or even screen resolution. What we do know is that the Neo U100 has a battery, 3 USB ports, a card reader, VGA output, and WiFi.
The RoverBook Neo U100 sells for 14,566.50 rubles, or about $621.76 US.
