Dual Core Athlon X2 MSI Wind U230 is Back, Now Shipping - Update

Update: Newegg.com is now also shipping the dual-core U230 version.

Sometime last year, MSI debuted another 12 inch notebook, the Wind U230 which sported an AMD Athlon X2 L335 processor (dual core, 1.6GHz) and ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics. Back then, it never went on sale, even disappearing a couple of times from MSI’s product pages.

Well, now the Wind U230 is back, and this time it’s selling already! (both black and white models) Amazon.com has on pre-order for $480. A couple of other places have had it in stock already such as Buy.com. I notice Newegg.com has confused the U210 as a U230 (sporting an Athlon Neo MV-40 processor) Update: the U230 also comes with the MV-40 processor as well according to MSI’s product page

Here are the specs: 12.1” 1366 x 768 display (glossy), AMD Athlon X2 L335 processor, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 1.3MP Webcam, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, HDMI out, 6-cell battery and Windows 7 Home Premium.
