This has been up for a short while now and I didn’t realise it until now but MSI finally have an 11.6-inch sized notebook with the U230 Light. Up until now I’ve always thought it was an 12-incher but the specs / product page say otherwise despite the pictures which look no different to the 12-inch series with the name name. If this is isn’t a spec mishap then either this is a 12-incher with a smaller bezel or the pictures are all wrong.
Is it really 11.6-inches?
Sadly the U230 Light is based on the older AMD Congo platform with poor battery life but performance better than the average netbook. Interestingly, specs mention a matte display!
