That isn't as freaky as the second girl who looks like someone actually stapled a smile onto her face (or nailed it on - what the heck is going on there???)

Maybe they were going for the android look or something. Either way, it's seriously distrubing.]]>May 27th 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/May 27th 2008 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/May 27th 2008 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/May 27th 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/May 27th 2008 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/May 27th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/May 27th 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/
I was in love with the eee 900. But the 901 looks like a complete devolution of the eee brand (that, and the Atom is not the holy saviour it was hyped to be). That, and the 901's price bump (650) is pushing it into my no-man's land.

I really dig the styling of the Wind (considering the toy-like nature of the 901), but I'm concerned 10-inches is pushing the size a smidgen to large. That, and I prefer the eee's SSD over the HDD of the Wind. But it does have an LED-backlit screen -- which I louvre.

Side-note: I strongly dislike the HP mininote. Personal preference on style. I know it's shallow, but whatever.

Help engadgeteers... should I just hold off until late August before dumping my monies, or should I just get a 900 while I still can?]]>May 27th 2008 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/May 27th 2008 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/I've finally settled on the XP version of the MSI Wind. XP so I can run Cubase and I can always stick Ubuntu on it at a later date.
The Wind isn't too much bigger than the eee as the photos on http://www.itechnews.net/2008/05/26/msi-wind-laptop-reviewed-and-compared/ show.
Personally, I love the look of the HP but couldn't do with that puny processor.

@James Petersen: That was actuallly a helpful link. I followed it back to the original, which was (translated) but helpful:

Also, that site has an awesome video that made me love the MSi Wind a little more (vid took a while to buffer for me):

@Pundit: I'll surely do that once we know what's coming later this summer.

Serial & parallel ports in this age? No video out other than VGA? It needs onboard GPU for multiple 1080p feeds (for a media server) and HDMI ports, plus a mini-PCI slot for wireless option.

Re: Wind Notebook - Right Shift key would be better placed to the right of the Up cursor (the cursor T moved in a little), then all the lower right keys wouldn't be so squished. And it would be nice to have dedicated PgUp/Dn keys. Thinkpad keyboard layout have been around forever. Why don't more co's copy it?]]>May 27th 2008 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/msi-wind-desktops-and-laptops-exposed-and-fondled-atom-seen-by/
2. I haven't seen a 10" thinkpad keyboard layout resembling what you're describing. compromises are made for size. Plus the touchpad likely has a scroller built in.
