The wait is over, netbook fans. MSI just announced that the U100 netbook is now available nationwide at Best Buy. The Intel Atom 1.6GHz equipped 10-inch netbook comes with 1GB of RAM, Windows XP Home Edition, a 120GB HDD, and weighs only 2.3lbs. It comes in black and white and starts at $399.
I just checked Best Buy’s online store, but it doesn’t look like the U100 is available there yet.
Update: The U100 netbooks will be available at Best Buy sometime this week.
I’ll stop by after work and take a look and see if they have them in store.
I didn’t see any out.
Lame. Thanks for checking.
I just stopped by during my lunch break again today and still no dice.
Great! I can’t wait to pay the obilgatory Windows Tax! Especially now with the economy on the uptick and all those potential Wind buyers rolling in extra dough!
Checking to see when they’ll actually be available.
Thanks for checking, Peter. Does the “sometime this week” go for BestBuy.com, physical stores, or both?
