According to an interview with MSI’s director of US sales, Andy Tung, MSI’s much praised Asus Eee PC competitor, the MSI Wind netbook, is set to move into its second series with the up and coming release of the somewhat predictably named MSI Wind 2 netbook – also known as the Wind U120 – which, apart from sporting revised aesthetics seeing the Wind’s rounded corners give way to a ‘square-like look’ will also come with inbuilt 3.5G WWAN connectivity and new HDD/SSD configurations.
According to the interview with MSI’s Andy Tung appearing in Laptopmag, the new Wind U120/Wind 2 is aimed specifically at business users (interestingly, Tung states that the previous, rounded Wind models are, he feels, ‘too cute for business users’) and is touted as having a design that’s ‘more of a ThinkPad type of a design’ and will initially become available with just a HDD option with an SSD option following at a later date. Other notable details include the fact that the new Wind U120/Wind 2 will sport a 10” display, 1GB of RAM and a keyboard that, somewhat cryptically, is described as being ‘the same size as the one on the current Wind, if not a bit bigger’.
The new MSI Wind U120/Wind 2 is expected to retail at around the $600 price point and, according to Tung, will become available in the US ‘by the end of November or early December’.
