Asus EEE PC Killer – MSI Wind

MSI has finally announced the EEE PC killer – Wind. MSI Wind will go for under $500 and will be on the market in June. What cool about Wind compare to Asus EEE PC is the 10 inch screen with resolution up to 1024×600 pixel and 80GB HDD. Besides that, MSI Wind is adopting Intel latest UMPC processor ATOM with 1 ~ 1.6Ghz.

Wind comes in two OS version, XP and Linux Novell version. However, Linux Novell will aim for a lower price and a lower spec. So, if 512MB RAM and lower battery life is alright for you, then you can buy the XP. The dimension of Wind is 10.23" x 7.08" x 0.748" ~ 1.24" and the weight is 2.3lbs for Linux and 2.6lbs for XP. I guess the main different of the weight is just the battery capacity.
