We are about to see a big influx of new netbooks coming our way which will be announced next month at Computex in Taiwan.
One of the first netbooks to come of light is the new MSI Wind U140. Although very little is currently known about the Wind U140, we do know that like most netbooks on the market, it will feature the Intel Atom N450 1.66Ghz processor, along with a 10-inch display.

Four new MSI Wind netbooks have shown up on MSI’s official website, although these new netbooks have all new model names, the netbooks appear to be small updates to existing models.
The new netbooks consist of the MSI Wind L1300, L1350, and L2300. All seem to be very similar to existing models which are currently available, so it’s not exactly clear why MSI have gone with the new model names.
