MSI Wind U180 10 1 inch netbook Review
For their latest netbook computer MSI has gone ahead and adopted the newly released Intel Atom N2800 dual-core processing chip that chip giant Intel only recently formally launched with their Cedar Trail platform. The new 1.8 GHz Atom processor packs better central processing performance and integrated graphics performance over the previous generation of Intel Atom dual-core netbook processors, all while keeping power consumption at a minimum.
Right now the MSI Wind U180 has only shown itself in product listings for European retailers. If you do a Google search for the MSI Wind U180-N2813W7S (precise model number) you’ll find links for German retailers for the most part. In Europe the MSI Wind U180 is available for 349.99 Euros, a standard price for a brand new from factory netbook, but prices should fall after a few months of the U180 being available in the market.

Hands on with the Asus Eee PC X101 netbook Review
Asus plans to launch the Eee PC X101 10 inch netbook this summer for just under $200. That will give the X101 the lowest launch price of any netbook with an Intel Atom chip. You can occasionally find old, used, or refurbished models for that price, but I’ve never seen a netbook hit the shelves priced at $199.99 on day one before.
I got a chance to check out a pre-release model last night. It’s very thin and light for a 10 inch netbook. But part of the reason for that is the 3 cell battery. Asus will not be offering a 6 cell option in the US. The netbook is also a little thicker looking in real life than in the rendered images I’d seen, and there’s a VGA port that wasn’t present on the press pictures.
For the most part though, the Eee PC X101 looks like a pretty typical netbook. It has an almost-but-not-quite full sized keyboard, a small touchpad with a single button beneath it, and a 10.1 inc, 1024 x 600 pixel glossy display.
In order to keep costs down, Asus is building the netbook with a new 1.33 GHz Intel Atom N435 single core processor. It’s a 5W chip which uses a little less power, generates a little less heat, and offers a little less performance than the Atom N455 chips more commonly used.
The US version of the Eee PC X101 will also run MeeGo, an open source Linux-based operating system optimized for netbooks and other mobile devices. The netbook will be available in some regions with Windows 7 as well, but by going with MeeGo in the US, the company can avoid Windows licensing fees and keep the price low.
Unfortunately the demo unit I saw didn’t have MeeGo so I can’t say anything about how the netbook performs with the Linux distribution.
The netbook also has an 8GB solid state disk instead of a hard drive. That should help improve battery life, since a solid state disk uses less power than a hard disk. But 8GB isn’t a lot of space to work with. Source :(liliputing.com)
