Mar 9 2010, 4:35pm CST | by Mark Raby

MSI Computer today announced the availability of the newest additions to its Wind12 line of netbooks. The U230-033 and U230-040 offer high-definition resolution on one of the biggest netbook displays currently on the market. Available for around $430, the two new netbooks come with 2GB of DDR2 memory, a 6-cell battery, and an ATI Radeon HD 3200 GPU.

The devices also feature MSI's proprietary ergonomic keyboard, which are more than half the size of a standard keyboard, a self-described way to reduce stress on fingers and wrists. Additionally, the standard netbook fare is included: a 1.3-megapixel webcam, three USB ports, and a VGA port. Also included is an HDMI port and a built-in memory card reader.

Both models are available now on Newegg.com.
