Posted by Joe in General and Specs. 2 Comments

With more and more players jumping in to this space, here is MSI which announced that their model named “Wind” will be in the US this june.

Some of the highlights as sighted at Laptop Mag

  • Come in two display-size variations: an 8.9-inch and a 10-inch. Only the 10-inch display will be available to the U.S. market.
  • Be available starting June 3rd. The Linux version, running Novel’s SUSE, will have 512MB RAM and an 80GB hard drive. It will retail for $399. The Windows XP version will have 1GB RAM, an 80GB hard drive, and Bluetooth, retailing for $549. However according to MSI a base configuration of the Windows XP product will be available for under $500.
  • Come in four different colors, including black, white, silver, and pink. Both sizes will be available in these colors.
