MSI's U200 features a 12-inch 16:9 widescreen LED display with a 720p HD capable resolution of 1366 x 768. It comes with an Intel Penryn ULV SFF 723 processor which is a single-core Celeron 723 processor clocked at 1.2GHz - no Hyper Threading, so only single core action here. Graphics are provided by the Intel GMA 4500M, yawn...

It also includes 2GB (1 x 2GB - single channel) DDR2-800 memory, 250GB hard disk drive, 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR and after removing the battery, we also noticed a SIM card slot on the back for 3G mobile Internet access. It weighs in at 1.4KG with the 3-cell 2200mAh battery installed - don't expect huge battery life hours with this.

Overall impressions are quite good. The plastic material used is stylish and very smooth, track pad was okay but maybe a little too shiny making it a little hard to move the cursor around, but it might have just needed a clean.

It managed to score a Vista rating of 3.2 with the lowest performing part being the Celeron CULV processor. Unsurprisingly, the graphics sub-system was not far behind.
