After more than a year on the market, MSI's Wind U100 is on to obtain a greatly required rejuvenate with a new CPU. Declare back in April, the Wind U100 Plus features an Atom N280 CPU. This means you get a somewhat advanced clock, 1.66HHz to be precise, with a 667MHz bus versus 533MHz on the N270.

The rest of the specification remains untouched, but there's actually not much to amend as it previously has just about the whole thing Intel as well as Microsoft permit on a netbook, i.e. 1GB of RAM with a 160GB hard drive as well as a 6-cell battery. Luckily the price stays the same, as well as the latest version should not cost more than the previous N270-based Wind.

This may cause some vendor to drop prices on the previous model to get clear of surplus stock, so we may be looking at some good deal when the Plus version arrive in the market. Also, you'll get a option of two new colors with the Plus, Rose Champagne along with Metallic Blue.

It should emerge in retail over the next few weeks, as well as we're a bit shocked it's taking this long to ship it in Europe, as it was declared months ago.
