A Video Tour of the MSI Wind and Other Netbooks

Posted by kdawson on from the more-than-hot-air dept.

Ken E. writes "UK mobile tech site Mobile Computer has posted a nice 10-minute video that gives a tour of the MSI Wind, and shows it alongside the two other Intel Atom-powered netbooks, the Acer Aspire One and Asus Eee PC 901. The site also has photos that show the three netbooks together to give a good idea of the differences in size. The MSI Wind goes on sale today in the UK (a week ahead of the US) for £350 (around $700). Not cheap for a supposedly low-cost laptop, but the MSI Wind looks like the best of the bunch so far."

      Vista would be graet to a system like that. If only it could be lightened a bit. See here for more insight!

    There is no way you can do some serious work without those keys.

    There's no way you can do "serious work" on these machines at all. Tiny keyboards, tiny, low-res screens, slow CPUs, etc, etc.

    A docking station might bring them close to be useful for "serious work", but even then they're lacking in things like CPU power, RAM and disk space.
