Dell's not the only one getting into the Pinetrail Atom netbook game. MSI has announced not just one, but two netbooks carrying Intel's new N450 processor under the hood, and these are the MSI Wind U130 and MSI Wind U135. Aside from the Intel's new low-power CPU, both MSI netbooks offer usual netbook niceties like a 10-inch 1024x600 screen, built-in webcam, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4-in-1 card reader and WiMAX Forum certification (a first for any netbook).

Not much is known about the difference between the two models at the moment, but it's been said that the MSI Wind U135 has a chiclet keyboard while the MSI Wind U130 does not. Both netbooks are expected to be available in January from £229 (about 17,000 Pesos) for the Wind U130 and £279 (20,800 Pesos) for the Wind U135.
