MSI Wind U200 Launched, Sports 12" Monitor (1366x768) at $700

Well, well, look what we've got; a new CULV-based thin-and-light laptop from MSI. The image comes by way of Engadget Chinese whose trusted source lays out the following specs: a 12-inch, 1366 x 768 pixel LED-backlit display, with GMA 4500M integrated graphics, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 2GB of DDR2 memory, and 250GB disk all wrapped up in a bigger-than-a-netbook but not-quite-a-laptop chassis weighing just 1.4-kgs (3-pounds) with paltry 3-cell battery. We expect pricing to be announced tomorrow but we'll bet dollars to doughnuts that it'll be about $700.

More battery life, more battery lifetime, same size.

I doubt it would even cost 100$ more and if you make it a non-replacable battery you can fit even more battery life in the same size.

it's what they will charge you, didn't say that it will cost them that increase

Then you would have to ask if its worth to buy a 700$ notebook with crappy battery life in the first place.
