So I looked around for a thread and couldn't find one so here it is:

http://www.netbooknews.com/16529/hands-on-11-6-msi-u270-running-amds-zacate/

So; 720p+ 11.6" TFT, 320/500gb HDD, 4GB RAM, AMD 1.6ghz Zacate Fusion (including 80 stream GPU cores), 1x USB3/2x USB2 ports and HDMI/VGA outputs to boot.

So, who else wants one?

Wow looks impressive, and i love chiclet keyboards

Just bought a Acer D255 and it will arrive today or tomorrow but that does look really nice.

Any ideas on pricing? Tbh might just google it

I would hazzard a guess of £320 ish considering the premium of the HDD/RAM

Mhmm maybe, forgot to google it for the price anyways, ill take your word

Got my Acer D255 this morning, been using it all day, it is very nice

Price is kinda irrelevant right now though, since its carving up a section of the netbook market. Flash kills my Atom based netbook, I hope this AMD netbook can accelerate it to its hearts content.

really curious about this platform and how it will perform. Could be a contender for the CULVs we have right now, and the graphics power greater than a Ion.

Should be interesting. I'll wait before jumping the gun, until they put out mature platforms. This MSI looks a bit rushed.

I do.. but I'll just pop round and steal yours

FYI all, this is on sale around £352 ... I'd think £299 should be the RRP myself

No, but surely you can Google yourself

MatteH Oxford · 2 May 2011 at 20:53

I did but the only ones I could find were lower spec models

Methanoid · 3 May 2011 at 08:44

You mean the 2Gb ram ones? I havent seen ANY 4gb anyway anywhere!

Methanoid · 26 Jun 2011 at 15:21

Anyone bought one of these? I think my son may be wanting one soon!

Did MSI withdraw this from the UK? Nowhere at all

Haven't found any on the main sites which they were priced up and ready to sell on. And reviews/unboxings are hardly any place to be read and viewed so

Methanoid · 6 Oct 2011 at 13:53

I've found some FS in UK @ £337, or the HP DM1 @ £349 or the Lenovo S205 @ £270

Just need to decide which I prefer

Scrutinize · 6 Oct 2011 at 13:56

Any reason to choose this over a Lenovo X121e i3 as they are looking like the same price?

Methanoid · 6 Oct 2011 at 13:57

The near £100 price difference?
