We see what MSI is doing. First, they released a followup to the Intel-packin’ X-Slim X600 with an otherwise-identical AMD-based machine called the X610. And now they’re making the MSI Wind U200 available with an AMD processor as well. And what do you think they’re calling it? the U210, of course. Starting at €399, the Wind U210-002 sports an Athlon Neo MV-40 1.6GHz processor with 1GB memory, 160GB HDD, and XP Home. The Wind U210-010 ups the ante a bit with 2GB memory, 250GB HDD, and Vista Home Premium, going for €449. We don’t have the exact release date, but we’re sure by then the company will have more laptops to shove an AMD processor into.
