MSI Wind getting Desktop version
Monday, June 30th, 2008
Apparently MSI will follow in Asus’s footsteps and create a desktop version of their sub-notebook. The desktop Wind will likely have pretty much the same internals as the current notebook editions. It will be powered by the same 1,6GHz Intel Atom CPU and feature 1GB of DRAM(upgradeable to 2GB), a 3.5-inch HDD with up to 160GB of storage and WLAN 802.11b/g built in. A DVD drive will also be included.
The price will range from $199 to $299, depending on the feature set. The InfoWorld article says that the machines will ship with Windows XP, but hopefully a Linux version will also be available…

Smaller, Thinner MSI Wind Aimed At Business
Thursday, June 5th, 2008
Having just pushed the original Wind sub-notebook out the door, MSI is already planning a new version, aimed at business users. It is set to use the same CPU and chipset as the original but will be thinner. In essence the business Wind will largely use the same components as the original.
“On Intel’s roadmap, there won’t be any change in Atom until the second half of next year, so the microprocessor and chipset will be the same,” said Tung.
The new Wind will probably be available in the first quarter of 2009, and may be seen at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January.
MSI is also said to be working on a device even smaller than the current class of sub-notebooks for people who want to surf the internet while on the move. Perhaps something in the line of the Nokia Internet Tablet?
