    As a half Japanese person I try and follow just as much Japanese computer tech but still lean towards other nations btu this really caught my eye.

    is it just me or does that mouse computer mini computer appear to be an MSI Wind U100 rebadged?

    Powered by 1.6GHz Atom processor N270 and Windows XP OS, the LuvBook U100 adopts a 1GB of RAM, 80GB HDD, a 10.2-inch WSVGA(1,024*600) display and 1.3M camera.

    They both have the U100 at the end, the same casing and same specs.

    Your thoughts.

    Yup it's a copy. Maybe an MSI OEM. Infact both of them carries the same price.

    It is possible but it seems mouse computer does over charge a little and may be more then the "foreign" msi brand in Japan. :( I honestly would bet that MSI has better build.
