\"MSI<\/a> Update: October 20, 2008<\/strong>
\nSome of the prices have already dropped again:
\nUS – MSI Wind U100-016US (Black)<\/strong>
\n– Amazon.com<\/a> – $399.99<\/strong> (After $50 Rebate)
\n– MWave.com<\/a> – $399.99<\/strong> (After $50 Rebate)
\nUS – MSI Wind U100-030US (White w\/Love\/Heart Design)<\/strong>

\n– MWave.com<\/a> – $429.99<\/strong> (After $50 Rebate)<\/p>\n

Back in August, I mentioned that netbook prices would have to drop<\/a>. Acer (and even Lenovo) were pushing 8.9″ and 10″ machines out at a cheaper rate than Asustek and MSI. Asus Eee PCs did see a price drop<\/a>. At some point last week, MSI began offering $50 rebates on certain models of the 10.2″ MSI Wind U100<\/a> netbook in the United States. It looks like it’s available through almost all online resellers \/ retailers of the Wind U100.<\/p>\n

The rebates run from October 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008, and they are for the 3-cell battery versions of the U100 and cover three models (listed below). They drop the price for these models from $479.99 down to $429.99 (most of them at least – some models only drop to $449.99, one or two drop to $419.99).<\/p>\n

Specifications:<\/strong> 120GB HDD, 1GB RAM (U100-219US may have 2GB RAM), 3-Cell Battery, Windows XP Home<\/p>\n

All of the prices listed below are after<\/em> the $50 rebate.<\/strong><\/p>\n
