MSI Wind U270 laptop with AMD Zacate

MSI started showing off the Wind U270 laptop in December and I got a chance to check out the transportable laptop at CES in January. But the company has finally gotten around to putting out a press release, so we finally have detailed specs for the MSI Wind U270.

It turns out the laptop has a 12.1 inch display, not an 11.6 inch screen as I had initially thought. Whoops. The remainder of the specs aren't surprising

The laptop also has Easy Face software that lets you login to Windows or to some web sites by pointing your face at the camera.

There’s still no word on pricing or a launch date for the MSI Wind U270.
