The MSI Wind is one of the entries into the new mini laptop marketplace. Many companies are offering mini laptops today but I chose the MSI for my wife for a few reasons. For the same price as most of the other offered netbooks (mini laptops are called netbooks now) the MSI Wind comes with a larger keyboard and display (10.1" vs. 8.9" ) while still remaining very portable and in the class of netbook. The Wind comes with varying hardware but ours comes with the Intel Atom processor (1.6 Ghz), 120 GB hard drive, 1 GB of memory (upgradeable to more), built in wireless and web cam. It comes with Windows XP installed on it which is great because I am still not ready for vista. It also has a port for an external monitor, 4 usb 2.0 ports and mic and headphone jacks.

My wife is very happy with its performance and I am with her on this. It is an amazing little piece of hardware! Ringing in at less than $350 for the base model, you can't beat it for personal mobile computing!

i was recently thinking about getting a notebook because i have many papers to do in school! so i told my dad about it, then he purchased this for me. well, i got the 2gb edition which when you compare to its counterparts is acutally more affordable! if you want portability plus power (its battery life is 5 hours...) you can't go wrong with this! :D
