MSI Wind Laptop coming soon with SuSE Linux or Windows XP
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.

The Wind Notebook has selected the 8.9 “and the 10″ wide LCD display as oppose to the typical smaller sizes to provide better comfort while viewing or reading. The embedded LED power-saving backlight technology can provide better color in richness and brightness, elevating the total quality of imagery. The 1024x 600 resolution can relief concerns of the full display of Web Pages while browsing, giving you the freedom when exploring the internet.
MSI Notebook has the same persistence for proper ergonomically design even on the keyboards of our smaller notebook computers. The keyboard of the Wind Notebook not only has great texture, it also increased the space between the keys to 17.5mm, allowing you to be as comfortable as you can.
