MSI Wind U120 Netbook To Be Released On December With a 3.5G WWAN Inside

MSI can be very pleased with recent global recognition they gain, thanks to the 10-inch U100 netbook, that catches a lot of attention within the ultra-mini-portable category, together with Asus, Acer and Dell. But the fierce competition doesn’t let them rest on their laurels, and the company battles to stay up with technology, in order to preserve their reputation. Thereupon, we get a chance to see some early Wind U120 press shots, two months before the estimated launch date, on December, and all we can say is that we’re very pleased with the results. Truth to tell, the U120 has exactly the same looks that its U100 sibling demonstrates, but the real difference is from the inside, as the Wind 2 packs either 20GB / 40GB SSD or 120GB HDD, along with 802.11n WiFi and built-in 3.5G WWAN (HSDPA), that lets you use a SIM card to surf the internet from any place, without the need for a hotspot. To make you even more happy, this top-notch device will be offered under $600, so hold your breath until December comes.

Update: DigiTimes says the U120 should be available in November for $552, with that 3.5G WWAN.
