We weren't actually expecting to see any Zacate-based machines until
CES 2011 kicked off in earnest, but it looks as if MSI is hoping to
snag a little wind from the sails of its competitors. In a small
Taipei-based event, the outfit quietly snuck out a machine that we can
only assume will become official in the coming days -- the Wind U270
netbook is an 11.6-incher with a 1.6GHz Zacate processor, 4GB of RAM,
a 320GB hard drive and no optical drive to speak of. Other specs
include a VGA output, two USB 2.0 ports, a single USB 3.0 socket, a
Kensington lock port, 4-in-1 card reader, Ethernet jack and an overly
glossy 1366 x 768 resolution panel. Courtesy of Netbook News' hands-
on, we've spotted a traditional chiclet keyboard, a split mouse button
(huzzah!) and a trackpad that may very well not exist if it were any
smaller. MSI wasn't about to spill any details on a ship date or
price, but feel free to get yourself acquainted with the aesthetic in
the video just past the break.
