MSI Wind U100 Netbook - Tested and Burned In at HotHardware.com

[news 28]

Good Morning All and Happy 2009 to you!

 

 

 

Since the MSI Wind's initial release seven months ago, the middle of the

netbook market, roughly defined here as the $350-$500 range, has become very

crowded. It seems like everyone and their subsidiary is getting into the

netbook game and there are now dozens of models and submodels vying for your

money, with even more product launches right around the corner. In this

suddenly crowded niche market, is the MSI Wind still a good choice, or has

it fallen behind the competition?

 

 

 

Don't get us wrong. We're not saying that MSI has been standing still this

whole time. On the contrary, the folks at MSI have been cooking up a number

of new netbook products, as we'll certainly see at CES this week. MSI has

also released a cheaper 8.9" version of the Wind, the U90, which is

currently available in parts of Europe, Australia and Canada. However, at

least for the time being, the original MSI Wind, now dubbed the Wind U100,

is still the only MSI netbook officially sold in the US.

 

 

 

Today we're going to pit it head-to-head with a couple of its younger

competitors to see if can keep up with the mass of new competition.
