“My feeling is that the MSI Wind is going to attract more consumers than the Eee PC…”

Well,IMHO,it wouldn’t be that way,because Eee PC released at time where there’s virtually yet a market for such notebook class,while now we can find almost every major vendor released or planned to release product of this sort.

I wonder if it’ll be cheaper to get the Linux version and buy a 6 cell battery separately. I really want a better battery life on the Linux version. I’m assuming that MSI is trying to keep the costs low with a 3 cell battery.

Man, I’m totally excited.

Any word on the battery used in this review being the 6 cell battery.

one would assume it is the 6 cell battery because of the windows config and the bluetooth light.

if that is the case, I hope they offer an upgrade to this battery when ordering the linux system.

I won’t even wait for the dell or the acer UMPCs

The Wind looks marvelous.

I have in the past lamented the awful graphics ability and use of windows, but having recently replayed Medieval Total War, which won’t play reliably on any of my more modern computers, I have to say that it looks great.

Buy a Wind to play the following:
Medieval: Total War
Planescape Torment
Baldurs Gate 1 & 2
Fallout 1 & 2
Deus Ex
Thief: The Dark Project

I cannot play these games on my quad-core, 9800 GX2 vista machine, and most are flakey on my dual-core, 7950GT, winXP
machine.

I can see a purpose for WinXP and the 945 chipset in 2008 after all

This looks like my next machine…

The 6 cell battery is much better integrated into the machine than that on the HP-2133 which makes the device very bulky at the hinge end.
