MSI's Wind gets received by someone, unboxed on video

Even though the world at large is waiting on pins and needles for these Wind delays to subside, at least one lucky individual in Italy has received one. Not that you haven't already seen this netbook from every angle imaginable, but things just look entirely more fluid on video. Three minutes (2:55, to be precise) in heaven await you after the break.

[Thanks, Marcello]

Can you explain to me why people do this?

Number one, your not first.

Number two, even if you were people just ROAST the person who types first. And if your not in first and you still type it they are just harsher.

Type first is like the engadget equivalent of cutting your wrists.

[JAmerican @ Jul 1st 2008 11:13PM]

I feel like I'm playing Bioshock with that music lol

[Stephen @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:07AM]

Nobody caught the song? Frank Sinatra's - "Summer Wind"

[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:30AM]

I did, but didn't feel it was necessary to point it out.

Fail.

[phanbouy @ Jul 1st 2008 11:16PM]

dude.. being a lamer under your full name including middle initial is just askin for trouble.

[Keith @ Jul 1st 2008 11:16PM]

Guy's not very adept with scissors, is he?

[shawn.zenz @ Jul 1st 2008 11:24PM]

the beginning was hilarious

[Keith @ Jul 1st 2008 11:27PM]

He tried to be all slick in slicing the seal and when it didn't workout he got performance anxiety and panicked. :p

Slow down man! It's OK if it's your debut unboxing. The Internetz will forgive you if you take a little extra time breaking the seal. :p

[Daza @ Jul 2nd 2008 2:23AM]

Yeah, I actually laughed out loud when he tore the cardboard. I'm pretty particular with my boxes, try and keep them in good condition because usually within a year it's going on eBay.

[-Tj- @ Jul 2nd 2008 2:33AM]

Aw, he's just excited, that's all. At least he didn't break Wind.

[Hagrun @ Jul 2nd 2008 9:54AM]

I rather enjoyed watching that too =). I love watching people make minor blunders like that.

[halfblind(-_x) @ Jul 1st 2008 11:21PM]

Oh crap, that looks way better than I thought, wonder if the black one looks as hot.

[Kobe_No_Means_No @ Jul 1st 2008 11:21PM]

Wow, I'm very impressed. It is so small and the specs are not that bad. As consumers we're blessed by this new small laptop revolution that's happening.

[gotrixzeth @ Jul 1st 2008 11:29PM]

Man, he didn't even turn it on! >_< But I must admit it looks nice and i want one!

[Nastro @ Jul 1st 2008 11:31PM]

He opened like a nerdy virgin taking off a girls panty.

[phanbouy @ Jul 1st 2008 11:55PM]

speaking from experience i gather. except for that last part of course.

[Khris @ Jul 1st 2008 11:57PM]

And you know this how?

[Reader @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:08AM]

He knows because once upon a time a nerdy virgin took off his panties.

[tha-don @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:27AM]

"it's in! omg it's in!"

[Matthew C @ Jul 2nd 2008 3:32AM]

Ahh, the Italian version of McLovin.

[bw @ Jul 1st 2008 11:34PM]

How bad at box opening can someone be?

[Dias @ Jul 1st 2008 11:35PM]

Wow, I haven't seen packaging so bad/cheap for years...

[Curtis Joslin @ Jul 1st 2008 11:54PM]

dude.. get out in the world. buy stuff. be a consumer.. i am sure you will run across something more painfully packaged than this netbook.

[Joe H @ Jul 1st 2008 11:39PM]

Came from here: http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/20080701635/see-the-msi-wind-being-removed-from-its-box.html


And here's another video showing some good closeups with the device as well as comparisons with other netbooks.

[shineliang @ Jul 1st 2008 11:42PM]

get an x61, people!

[Khris @ Jul 1st 2008 11:58PM]

Uhm......WHY?

[Ignatius @ Jul 1st 2008 11:53PM]

He's just a bit slow. You know, since he's second and all. NOT FIRST. :O

[Khris @ Jul 1st 2008 11:56PM]

When people aren't intelligent enough to come up with something witty to say on Engadget, you end up with douches saying things like "First" or "Primero"......both of which FAIL completely!

[Keith @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:05AM]

How is this thing at handling 720P video and Compiz effects like the desktop cube? Also, it supports 2 GB RAM right?

[Crusty Magic @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:20AM]

Yeah, you can add another gig of RAM to one, which is what I plan on doing if these things EVER come out in the US. I bought another stick off Newegg for about 15 bucks.

[Chris @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:07AM]

Haven't we already seen a full review of this a few months ago on video?
Also that elevator music makes the 3 minutes take forever.

[Zorque @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:12AM]

I think any post comprised entirely of "first" or "first post" should instantly wordfilter into an IP ban.

[Alex @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:27AM]

Holy damn, that thing is riddled with stickers-- top and bottom!

Also the packaging looks like a few swift tosses from UPS could have it arriving non-functional.

[Nicholas @ Jul 2nd 2008 9:05PM]

Recovery Disks?

[Charlie @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:36AM]

I thought this thing was supposed to come with a carrying case? Was I mistaken, or did specs get changed without me hearing or... what?

[Onetrack @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:45AM]

Btw..

It runs OSX.

[Matthew C @ Jul 2nd 2008 3:35AM]

Apple should take a hint. Even the most basic macbook today is WAY overpowered foor basic tasks. Cut the price in half, and the mac-netbook would sell like crazy.

[Chris @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:13PM]

All PC's can run OSX. It's hot that special.

[LuvMuffin @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:20AM]

EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

[StomperGames @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:52AM]

that screen looks so stretched out everywhere I see it but the specs are absolutely beautiful

[adobochicken @ Jul 2nd 2008 3:08AM]

LOL, this is the first comedy unboxing I've seen
Tape: 1
Scissors: 0

[alex @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:37AM]

I laughed when he chucked the box. Sounded like he threw it way across the room as oppose to just putting down on the floor next to him.

[koven @ Jul 2nd 2008 4:08AM]

Ther's a test o Wind on frazpc.pl

[sinai @ Jul 2nd 2008 4:05AM]

wow that packaging design ain't got no alibi.

[CBrowne @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:18AM]

People still remember that song?

[Richard @ Jul 2nd 2008 6:09AM]

Anyone notice there is no laptop carry case, you would think they would supply one with a scratch magnet laptop.

[evilsaywhat @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:04AM]

Poor guy! I hate it when I rip a box for a new toy :(

[OneLove @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:50AM]

They come in the same flaky, soft motherboard box.
