Now ladies and gentleman, let's make these cut-down computers and price them exhorbitantly. Everyone's into these now!

Marketing sez: "Agreed!"
Don't worry, prices will drop big time once the early adopters stop buying and sense returns to the market.]]>May 9th 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/Steve.]]>May 9th 2008 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/How long will this operate on battery power alone? sounds like less than 2hrs]]>May 9th 2008 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/Steve / Chippy]]>May 9th 2008 5:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/A mobile device like this would benefit a lot more with it, shock, drop & battery life wise.

Still, I'd buy it when comparing it to other ultraportables.]]>May 9th 2008 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/
i was looking forward to the msi wind more than any other subnote but ruined by the stupid price. Lets hope the price falls quickly for release date.]]>May 9th 2008 5:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 5:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/Mate, an average 32GiB SSD will set you back at least $130, so demanding an 80GiB SSD in a $610 product seems a tad silly.]]>May 9th 2008 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/
Guess I'll have to stick with paper and pencil for a while longer.]]>May 9th 2008 6:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/haha
i was waiting for this MSI since i was dissapointed with the HP's price.]]>May 9th 2008 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/
Calm down and wait for real numbers. Also, remember the 8.9" version will be cheaper - MSI said they intended to price it at or below the Eee's price.]]>May 9th 2008 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/
also imho the price is too high, considering the cheap components. the most expensie parts probably are the 1,8hdd (thanks for not stickin in flash!!!) and, of course, the screen.

i wonder if it would be possible to stick a serious 2,5" drive in such a subnote to get _real_ storage capacity. i always think such nice little lappies would be great multimedia-tanks for music, movies, but with 1,8" thats hard to accomplish and expensive]]>May 9th 2008 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/How does it compare to the ecs g10il ?

Give us this:

9" Screen
1.2Ghz Celeron/Equiv Atom
1GB RAM
8GB SSD (and an SD port)
Linux

You should be able to give us all of this for $400 at the most.

We don't want a butt-ton of features, we want something that runs fast enough and we can take with us ANYWHERE without a giant carrying case. It doesn't need to run Crysis, it doesn't even need to run WoW. We just want word processing, firefox, and solitaire. ]]>May 9th 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/
How could you possibly live on an 8GB hard drive?

I just want something that I can throw in my backpack without worrying about the screen cracking in two. I want the battery to last long enough that I can just unplug it in the morning and go, using it for all my classes without worrying about toting an AC adapter.

As such, I want something with:
small screen (12" or less)
large battery
Really durable case (magnesium like my evo n410c would be great)
Light.

Something like that for less than $700 would be great. I'm hoping the Wind is durable enough, because I think it'd otherwise fit the description.]]>May 9th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/
Well said. And touchscreen! Ok and 2gb ram and winxp but that's it. Crap and a webcam and fingerprint reader. Shit. Wifi, bluetooth...gps?
OK. How about just touchscreen and winxp? And uhhh wifi. And err hard qwerty keys.]]>May 9th 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/May 9th 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/09/msi-wind-gets-a-price-610/
