MSI Wind L1300 available, with a price tag way under $300

The market for cheap netbooks gets bigger and bigger, as more and more producers launch mini laptops with prices under $300. One of the latest appearances is the MSI Wind L1300, now available in the US and ready to ship towards your home, for only $279.

For that kind of money, this ultra-portable offers all the standard features of a 10 inch mini laptop available these days:

• Intel N450 1.66 GHz processor + GMA 3150 graphics
• 1 GB of memory and 160 GB storage
• 10.1 inch glossy display, 1024 x 600 px
• 3xUSB slots, 1.3 MPx Webcam, card-reader, etc
• Wi-Fi N
• 3 Cell battery
• Windows XP Home OS

So, unlike all the other good and cheap netbooks I mentioned before, this one comes with a smaller battery (only a 3 Cell) and Windows XP Home. But I for one don’t mind having XP Home over Windows 7 Starter, as this last ones comes with many annoying limitations.

MSI Wind L1300 - cheap and good mini laptop for carrying around

Add to the above a matte rugged case perfect for carrying around and a standard flat keyboard that should be pretty comfortable for everyday use,

All in one, this MSI Wind L1300 is definitely a good pick for a secondary computer you’ll take along when traveling. Not as powerful as the best 10 inch netbooks of the moment, but also a lot cheaper. Cause like i said, it can be yours for only $279 right now.

It is sold in the US by TigerDirect , via Amazon, like Chris on NetbookReviews.com noticed earlier today.
