A new player on the market is Micro-Star International and their new wind ultra-PC.  wind stands for ‘wi-fi network device’.  This is priced at around the same price as the Asus EeePC 900 model; but it’s specs are much higher.  It is available in a Linux and Windows version – the Windows version is a little more expensive.  The principle differences are that this has a 10″ screen as opposed to the 7″ in the Asus 700 series or 8.9″ in the 900 series.  Another difference is that the MSI wind has a 80GB hard drive!  It is larger than the Asus and it is slightly heavier, but it looks like a definite option for those who find the Eee screen too small.

It is due in Ireland in July and is available, among other places, at www.expansys.ie
