MSI is working on their new Wind laptop, which is supposed to compete with the Asus Eec PCs. The Wind will feature a 10-inch display with 1024×600 resolution, 1.3M web cam, 80GB harddrive, and of course a card reader/wifi. According to recent rumors, the MSI Wind will also come equipped either in Windows XP or SuSE Linux. The SuSE Linux version will be a little cheaper, we suggest you to buy that and install your Windows XP separately to save some money. (given that you have your Windows XP disks) Laptop Pimp’s Verdict The laptop specs look very good, especially with the choice of 80GB hard drive and the operating system. A lot of HP laptops come (forced) with a Windows Vista, an operating system no one wants anymore. Kudos to MSI for not becoming corrupt to Microsoft’s backhanded negotiations. We also do like the SuSE option for people who already have Microsoft Windows XP disks. Plus, having a Linux-setup might be great for those consumers who have had hard time installing Linux on their own.
