I’m getting me one of these for sure. But I’ll wait for 2 months more. By that time the 6 pack battery cell will be available.
One more thing, Intel is coming out with with the Intel Atom Dual Core. Who knows, the newer MSI Wind Model (If they come out with one) might come before Christmas 2008 equipped with this new CPU.
I wouldn’t mind paying a little extra for this machine.
When I saw it in the display, I asked to try it out to get a feel of the weight and speed…. and I tell you straight out…. I am impressed.

Makes you think twice of jumping on the EEE bandwagon doesn’t it? MSI Wind is definitely a winner.

Is this the MSI WIND SUSE Linux edition?
At MSI’s website the linux edition have NO BLUETOOTH. Does that unit have one?

Unless MSI ships units without Bluetooth but with a Bluetooth indicator, it’s built-in.
