MSI to take on the Eee PC with the Wind Laptop
Rumored to cost around $500 or higher, The MSI Wind will be the newest ultra-portable laptop in direct competition with the recently announced 9-inch wonder from Asus. The MSI Wind, unveiled at CeBIT 2008, will come with Intel’s new Atom chip, 1GB of RAM as default and a 6-cell battery that could last roughly 6 to 7 hours. It’s bound to run on either Linux or Windows, offers a 10-inch display and the option to get fitted with either a 2.5-inch HDD or SSD, depending on user preference. All that’s available right now are just profile shots from the MSI booth, with no sign of the general user interface (or even a power on screen) yet. But judging from the blue, pink, and silver outer casings, this little unit looks dazzling so far. It also looks just as good as other regular-sized laptops. You’ve got to question it’s name though. Knowing that there’s something out there called the “Air”, and since this one is called “Wind”, what do you think they’ll come up with next? Breeze? Gas?
