It certainly looks like the MSI Wind is taking point in the mininote race right now. Everyone seems to love the design that’s slightly bigger and heavier than the Eee PC 900. The price, style and specifications seem to be spot on. There’s a tough 2 weeks ahead for all mininote product managers but with reports like this one from Crave being published, MSI’s product managers can be happy that they have the right momentum at exactly the right time.
…it could take the throne from the Asus Eee PC as the best mini laptop on the planet.
Crave mention a few ‘tricks’ too, like the TurboDrive button and a keyboard that is ‘miles miles’ better than the Eee PC 900. We’ll have to see about that but it’s not often you hear the Brits getting over-excited about something so maybe, just maybe, this is the one!

had this had hdmi/dvi/dp and a better CPU id be interested
hopefully they use better cabling than my MegaBook did, or theyre going to get lots of visits to the Genius Bar…
so far ive had to replace the antenna cabling, the ac adaptor cord, the headphone jack, the keyboard still shorts out with the interior powering it off or sending chars that werent pressed..and the monitor power is shot, dimming out until you twiddle the wires with your finger..
