Details on the MSI Wind, a tiny subnotebook I might actually buy
via CrunchGear by Devin Coldewey on May 12, 2008
Just reading the stats on this, it looks like MSI’s subnotebook, the Wind (unrelated to the Air) is possibly the best value for a computer on the market today. Check it out, for about $500 you get all this: 10″ LCD, 80GB HDD, a gig of RAM, 1.3MP webcam, 5 hour battery life, weighs in at 2.6lb and built around Intel’s new Atom processor. I don’t usually just plug stuff like this, but it really looks like a great power-to-dollar ratio you’re getting here, and MSI is a good brand. You can even choose Linux instead of XP, though your hardware choices are more limited. MSI US’s manager says:We designed the Wind to offer mobile consumers all the features of bulkier more expensive notebooks, but with a sleeker lightweight footprint and an affordable sub $500 price point.
Sounds like the usual PR nonsense, but I think they might have actually done it. Keep an eye on MSI Mobile’s site for more details.
