$499 Wind Shipping June 16 With Atom Onboard

MSI has just released the shipping date, June 16, as well as the CPU which is now Atom and the official price of wait, $499! Big surprise with Atom since we knew this way back in March. 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. June 16, which is almost two weeks from now will launch the Wind, hopefully becoming king of the hill for ultraportable laptops. To read more the topic click the link below

New Review

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.

MSI Wind Desktop PC

The new MSI product is a spin off of the Wind but in a desktop mode. The announcement of the desktop, follows closely with EEE PC and thier desktop counterpart. Here are some pics of the desktop.

The desktop looks a little Wii-ish but from this angle you can see a DVD drive, mic in, audio out, two USB's, and a 4 in 1 card reader.

Here the desktop is upside down, the motherboard featuring Intel Atom processor at 1.33 Ghz. The hole at the bottom is for the DVD drive. The only thing missing is a HDD, but it does have to power connectors so one might go in the empty space.

Here is the back of the mini tower (if you can even call it that) which has all the audio jacks, (very surprising) four USB's, an ethernet port, VGA out, and a fan to keep the Atom CPU from getting hot.

New Pictures Of Wind

Here are a few new pics of the Wind



The vent holes give away the chance of the Wind to run cool, the curve is really nice for a subnotebook that costs $550 dollars, looks like Apple

Atom finally is around the corner


Since this is a prototype, we'll give MSI another chance with the right Windows version


Looks like a good case for the Wind, alot better than the EEE PC sleeve




Nice bright display




Keyboard shows big spaces between keys, MSI could have done better





Windows XP looks good on the 10" display, but the trackpad looks a little out of proportion...plus to add the little one button right and left click, just like the EEE PC
