With the recent launch of the wind, msimobile completely sold out of the U100 within a half an hour. With the release, MSI offered the 3 cell battery instead of the 6 cell. Many people now will not buy the Wind due to the battery size. Expect the 6 cell to be coming in July.

But the real shocker comes in the price! $499 Wind comes with Windows XP, 80GB HDD, and Bluetooth. EEE PC will sure to stumble off the throne.

ZDNet.co.uk has recently reviewed the EEE-killer, MSI Wind. Whats interesting, they can't tell about the CPU because its "confidential" but all of us know its powered by Atom. The review also adds the touchpad is relatively small to the size of the ultraportable. As I said before the touchpad did look a bit off from the early photos for a ultraportable this big. But all in all the MSI Wind stood tough through the review and came out a winner. Click below to view the entire review from ZDNet.co.uk.
