CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA – March 09, 2010 – MSI Computer, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions,
is proud to announce the availability of the new Wind12 U230-033 and U230-040. The
new models will replace the successful Wind12 U210, a favorite among netbook users
looking for a larger screen and more computing power. Upgrades to this new generation
of netbooks include the first Wind to feature a dual core processor and Bluetooth
connectivity.
Weighing in at just 3.3 pounds both versions of the U230 ship with 2GB of DDR2 memory,
with a 6-cell battery and Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. The newest editions
to the Wind family are loaded with a 12.1” HD (1366x768) 16:9 aspect ratio LCD and
an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. The combination delivers a bright widescreen
visual experience with exceptional color saturation and crisp imagery.
The Wind12 U230 also features MSI's EDS (Ergonomic De-stress) keyboard with keys
that are 51% larger than those on a standard keyboard. The larger keys greatly improve
finger contact range, which reduces stress on fingers and wrists to improve accuracy
and comfort. Additionally, MSI included a 1.3M webcam, HDMI port, 3 USB 2.0 ports,
VGA port, and a 4x1 card reader in the new U230 notebooks.
The new Wind12 U230 models are available now at Newegg.com starting at $429.99. MSI offers a 1-year limited
warranty with extended customer services hours at 1-888-447-6564. |
