Every man and his dog is making a rival to the Eee PC, and understandably so — cheap, tiny laptops are the shape of things to come. The latest to join the fray is the unfortunately-named MSI Wind, which was spotted doing the rounds at CeBIT 2008.
It’s a little larger than the standard Eee PC and more customisable, so it manages to incorporate either an 8-inch or a 10-inch display and a keyboard that looks reasonably comfortable to work on.
It’s said to be based on the forthcoming Intel Shelton ‘08 platform, with processor speeds ranging from 1GHz to 1.5GHz, solid-state or 2.5-inch hard drive options, 1GB of RAM and either Linux or Windows operating systems. Battery life is reported to be in the region of 7 hours, although we’ll reserve judgement on that until we get one in.
