If you’re thinking about buying the 12.1” AMD / ATI powered MSI Wind U210 that’s now shipping in the US perhaps you should check out Blogeee.net‘s comprehensive set of gaming benchmarks and battery life figures they’ve done on the MSI Wind U210.
The MSI Wind U210 packs in an AMD Yukon MV-40 processor (1.6GHz) and an ATI Radeon X1250 graphics card so it packs in more power than your average Intel Atom / integrated GMA graphics powered netbooks.
Battery life figures range from 2 hours, 11 minutes (looped 720P H.264 video 100% brightness) to 5 hours, 26 mins (Office work, 30% brightness, power saving). Web browsing in Firefox (without Flash) in power saving mode gives 4 hours, 52 minutes.
There are several gaming benchmarks but I’ll leave that to those who play games to check out for themselves.

Pretty impressive gaming performance, but somewhat disappointing battery life. I’d put this more in line with a laptop than a netbook.
