The MSI Wind U135 is a rather mundane looking netbook most of the time, with a case design that hasn’t changed much since the company launched its first netbook, the MSI Wind U100 in mid-2008. So what’s the best way to give the U135 a bit of spice? How about bedazzling it with Swarovski cyrstals? […]

MSI introduces Wind U135DX netbook
If the MSI Wind U135DX looks familiar, there’s good reason. It’s virtually identical to the Wind U135 netbook which has been available since January. But there’s one minor difference: The new model has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor while the original ships with a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 chip. The only difference between these […]
MSI Wind U135 review
The MSI Wind U135 is a 10 inch netbook with an Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail processor and a chiclet-style keyboard. That sentence could describe virtually every netbook released in the first half of 2010, but the Wind U135 stands out from the crowd just a tiny bit due to decent build quality and an […]
Unboxing the MSI Wind U135 – Video
The MSI Wind U135 features a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 250GB hard drive. It runs Windows 7 Starter Edition and has 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1. The netbook was released a few months ago, but the folks at MSI just sent me one […]

Hands on with the MSI Wind U135 with Moblin Linux – Video
I stopped by the MSI booth this afternoon and got a chance to check out the new MSI Wind U135 netbook running SUSE Linux with the Moblin user interface. This model will begin shipping in February, and Novell says SUSE has been optimized to boot in as little as 30 seconds. While the Moblin interface […]
MSI to offer SUSE/Moblin Linux on the Wind U135 netbook
It looks like Windows 7 Starter Edition won’t be the only OS available for the MSI Wind U135 netbook. Computer World reports that MSI will also offer a new version of SUSE Linux based on Moblin 2.1. Moblin offers a framework for a light weight Linux distribution optimized for netbooks with Intel Atom processors. It […]
MSI Wind U135 in pictures
We already got a better look at the new MSI Wind U160 netbook. Now have a look at the WInd U135. Basically, this model features a chassis that looks a lot like MSI’s older netbooks including the Wind U100 and U120-series. But it has a new island-style keyboard and Intel’s latest 1.66 GHz Atom N450 […]
MSI Wind U160 in pictures
MSI is showing off its new line of Atom N450 Pine Trail powered netbooks at CES. I snapped a few photos of the MSI Wind U135 and U160 last night, but it turns out my camera settings were a bit wonky and basically I have a bunch of blurry photos. I’ll try to remedy this […]
MSI Wind U135 netbook reviewed: Low cost, decent performance
The MSI Wind U135 is a 10 inch netbook with an Intel Atom Pine Trail processor. It probably won’t be available to purchase until January, but Laptop Magazine has already published a detailed review. In a nutshell, they decided that the keyboard is great, the touchpad is a’ight, and the battery is kind of meh. […]
