MSI's Wind Ultra-portable Notebook Gets Pictured
MSI is entering the Eee PC champion league with some tricked out Wind notebook. While you won't be blown away by performance or by the looks of it, Wind U100 will be MSI's first major fighter against Eee that is claimed to beat it in 6 out of 9 design specification. Shipping in mid to late May, the U100 will get its power from an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor based on a Intel 945GM motherboard, up to 2GB DDR2 667MHz memory, 80GB 2.5-inch SATA hard drive and a 10-inch WSVGA LCD with 1024x600 wide resolution, that MSI claims is much better for web surfing compared to Eee PC. Also included is a 4-in-1 card reader, three USB 2.0 ports, GB network port, 802.11B/G wireless and Bluetooth V2.0 EDR. Multimedia features will get you HD audio through integrated stereo speakers and video from a 1.3MP camera. The MSI Wind will ship with either Windows XP or Linux OS. Also MSI promises two battery options: 3 cell and 6 cell. With the 3 cell battery installed, the whole system will weigh less than a kilo and measure 260x180x19-31.5mm.

What terrible marketing. PR department should fall on swords.
It's probably just a bad translation for "light" or "airy" -- though, I agree that MSI probably never even asked someone who spoke English if it was a good choice or not... :shadedshu
that's what i would like to know
Doesn't this shit (Atom CPU) had an integrated memory controller?
I'm not sure about Atom though. It probably won't outperform a 900MHz Celeron M much. If at all.
