Cheap ThinkPad style netbook

Want a cheap but high-powered netbook? The MSI Wind U120 might be the computer for you. It features the impressive Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor and a 10″ wide LCD screen. That might sound small but of course that’s how netbooks work. They’re made to be small and sleek to allow for maximum portability while giving you the ability to use the internet, social media, and other simple programs. The U120 features LED power-saving backlight technology to extend your battery life as long as possible and because it’s such a small computer you can go hours on end without having to recharge.

The coolest thing about the U120 is the Easy Face manager security software. It takes a picture of your face and identifies the markers. Then when you turn it on in the future it will briefly scan you to make sure you match the face picture. If someone else tries to use your computer they’ll be unable to do so thanks to the security software. How awesome is that? If you’re a business man looking for a cheap way to secure your files this is the smartest way to go. The computer has a maximum resolution of 1024×600, 1GB of memory, and a 160GB hard drive.
