MSI Wind U123
While the MSI Wind U123 looks identical to the older U120, MSI has updated this 10-inch netbook with Intel’s newest Atom N280 processor, which provides slightly improved performance. Also, the U123 sports a new nine-cell battery, which, while making it heavier than most other netbooks, provides more than 8 hours of runtime, earning it the title of the longest-lasting netbook on the market. At $379, the MSI Wind U123 is easily one of the best netbook bargains around. For just $379, the MSI Wind U123 offers good performance for a netbook and more than 8 hours of endurance. While the similarly configured ASUS Eee PC 1000HE ($399) and Samsung N110 ($469) have more comfortable touchpads and slightly better keyboards, the MSI Wind offers a complete package for a very competitive price.

Editors` Review (MSI Wind U123)
At first glance, the MSI Wind U123 looks to be just a restyled update of the Wind U100, a 2008 model that was one of the first 10.2-inch netbooks. Most of the changes are appreciated but not spectacular: The MSI Wind U123 sports a restyled chassis, as well as the slightly faster Intel Atom N280 processor that was introduced on the Asus Eee PC 1000HE. But what keeps the U123 from getting lost in a sea of me-too netbooks is its battery: With a whopping nine cells, it gives the U123 unprecedented staying power for a netbook. Though most of the MSI Wind U123`s specs follow the standard netbook formula, its incredible battery life makes it a standout.
