First Reviews of the MSI Wind Ultra-Portable Laptop
Ken E. writes "UK tech website Mobile Computer has an early hands-on review of the MSI Wind — a £329 ultraportable notebook that will compete head-on with the Asus Eee PC 900. In its favour are a 10in screen, better keyboard and, perhaps most important of all, an Intel Atom 1.6GHz dual-core processor (though the site shies away from mentioning this open secret due to what sound like NDA constraints). They like it a lot — is this finally a worthy Eee PC alternative?" (£329 is about $650US at the moment.) An anonymous reader points to CNET's hands-on photo gallery of the Wind; CNET's reviewer says the MSI Wind is the first mini notebook with an overclock button. Barence adds another review at PC Pro.
I'd generally steer clear of anything with a relic of a "Turbo" button..
"Um, aren't Atoms all single core?"
A wind-up laptop?
...the "overclock" button was known as Turbo and the only reason we used it was because our 386's went too damn fast!
If your car has a button for the turbo, you may have installed it incorrectly. ;-)
Lately democracy seems to be based on the skybox, the Happy Meal box, the X-box, and the idiot box.
A pencil? May I suggest something to help grow that pencil to something more substantial...
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
Not so quick. The turbo button in my 80s Civic was mislabeled AC, but I think the only incorrect installation was the light itself. If I turned off the AC light, the car could actually climb a hill with passengers in it.
