MSI Wind heads to Czech Republic, gets redubbed “Mivvy M310″

Mivvy M310
We’ve already seen a number of notebooks that bear a striking resemblance to the MSI Wind, thanks to the fact that they’re based on the same design and may be built by the same OEM. But there are two things that set the upcoming Mivvy M310 apart from the crowd:

  1. It will only be available in the Czech Republic
  2. It packs more RAM and a larger hard drive than its US, European, and South American cousins

The Mivvy M310 packs the same 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU that all the cool kids are using these days. It also has a 10 inch 1024 x 600 pixel display, a card reader, 3 USB ports, VGA output, Ethernet, WiFi, Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics and the Intel 945GSE chipset. But while the MSI Wind comes with 1GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive, the Mivvy M310 will have 2GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive.

Customers will get a choice of Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows XP Home, or Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Liliputing tipster Martin Bednarski says he hears the prices will start around $630.

The Mivvy M310 should be available in the Czech Republic in August.
