MSI Wind U250 Now Official

MSI's Wind U250 notebook powered by AMD's new Nile ultrathin notebook platform that we've seen pop up at events around the world has finally been officially announced today from Taiwan.

The exact processor on board is not mentioned but the specs mention a dual core processor. At said events earlier this year the U250 has shown up with a dual core AMD Athlon II Neo K325 processor (1.3GHz) on multiple occasions so that's one definite processor though that doesn't rule out any of the higher end processors. 

The design appears to be the same as previous 12-inch Wind notebooks though here there seems to be a pattern on the chassis. Shouldn't be too long now before we get some pricing and availability info.
