MSI splashes color on 12" notebooks

The cute names given to laptop colors form a lifestyle microcosm. With its VR220 12" notebooks, MSI has us wearing Denim Blue, eating Wasabi Green, kissing Coral Pink, and .... ruling Empire Black?

It gets an extra thumb up if a bar of Darth Vader's Imperial March rattles off whenever it's opened.

Specs are otherwise standard for a 12-incher: it's better than a netbook, but you won't be playing games on it. The 1280x800 pixel display is powered by an Intel GMA 4500M graphics chip, it comes with up to 2GB of RAM, and it has gigabit LAN, 802.11n, an SD card reader, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, and a 250GB hard drive. It weighs 4 pounds, and a little more with the optional 8-cell battery.

Newer Screw-on bottle cap tripod almost useless, but kind of neat

A competent notebook but in the UK the price is a little high for the spec?

Can these be made to run OS X as easily as the 10" Winds? If so... WANT.
