MSI Readies Wind Sub Notebook for USA Sales

msiwind

The MSI Wind will be available in the united States in a few days, and it should give some competition to the venerable Asus EEE PC and HP 2133. The 10″ sub notebook sports the following features:

  • 80GB hard drive
  • 802.11b/g WiFi
  • 1GB of RAM
  • Bluetooth
  • 3 (yes, three) USB ports
  • 3-cell battery with claimed battery life of 3-4 hours
  • 1,024 x 600 display
  • Dedicated 20% overclocking TurboDrive button
  • 4 in 1 memory card reader
  • D-Sub video Output
  • 1.3 kg

The MSI wind will ship with both XP and Linux operating systems (the Linux version being cheaper no doubt), and MSI will also be shipping a 8.9 inch display model (in the same chassis, the smaller display model will be the same physical size). Early reviews have given the Wind good reports, and it should be a unit for consideration if you are looking to check out the latest round of mini laptops.
