MSI is not letting Asus steal the whole netbook market with its eee PC. The company is set to launch further additions to its Wind range of tiny laptops.

The Wind 2 or U120, sports a slightly more polished look than its predecessor, but underneath the bonnet not much else has changed.

Inside the notebook features an Intel Atom CPU (running at 1.6GHz), 120GB HDD (or an optional 20 or 40GB SSD) , 802.11n wireless networking and 3.5G/HSDPA connectivity via an integrated Sim card holder.

There is also a choice of a three-cell or a six-cell battery for up to four hours use.

The device is slated for release later this year and will probably cost £350.
