MSI has upgraded its Wind U123. The new Wind U123 comes with Windows 7 Starter Edition. Incidentally, the MSI Wind U123 is the first MSI laptop to run Windows 7. Other specs are more or less the same.

The new MSI Wind U123 has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N280 processor, 160 GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM. The 10.2 inch display comes with 1024 x 600 pixels. Unlike the previous version which has a 6-cell battery, the new version ships with a 9-cell, 7800mAh battery. You have got to agree that it is a thoughtful gesture. Because the upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows XP is going to take its toll on the battery life. And by providing a larger battery, MSI has compensated for this loss.

The Wind U123 with Windows 7 is now available for $379.99 at Newegg. The previous version with Windows XP is available for $299.99.
