Back at CES 2010 last month, we saw two Moblin netbooks on display. The Samsung N127 and the MSI Wind U135, but only the latter will go on sale (in February some time last we heard). Both these netbooks using existing netbook chassis with the same specs but just dumping Moblin on. Now at Mobile World Congress, in the same fashion, the MSI Wind U160 has been spotted running Moblin OS.
This MSI Wind U160 with Moblin sports the same specs as the Windows version: 10.1” 1024 x 600 display, Atom N450 processor, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, 3x USB (1 is eSATA), VGA, 2.0MP webcam and a 6-cell battery good for 15 hours.
Nothing’s definite here. No word on pricing or availability yet, though the Windows version of the U160 is now available for pre-order.
