CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA – June 3rd, 2008 – MSI Computer, a leading manufacturer of
computer hardware products and solutions, is excited to announce the official launch
of the much anticipated Wind Netbook. The Wind, an acronym for “Wi-Fi Network Device,”
is the first 10” notebook to feature the speedy new Intel Atom™ 1.6GHz processor.
“Intel is excited to collaborate with MSI to usher in the next generation of mobile
computing devices,” said Steve Dallman, Intel VP Sales and marketing Group and GM,
Worldwide Reseller Channel Organization. “The Wind’s user–friendly design, combined
with the low power and 45nm High-K process of the Intel Atom processor, makes for
an exceptional netbook.”
Weighing in at just 2.6 lbs, MSI designed the Wind to be lightweight and ultra mobile,
without sacrificing convenience or performance. The Wind features an ergonomically
designed keyboard that is only 20% smaller than of a full sized keyboard, with keys
spaced a comfortable 0.68 inches apart. Business travelers will welcome the extended
battery life available with the Windows based version, which provides up to 5.5
hours of untethered work time.
The Windows version of the Wind features an 80G / 2.5” SATA hard drive, which further
sets it apart from other ultra portable notebooks, whose manufacturers have compromised
memory capacity to save space. The Wind’s display features embedded LED power-saving
backlight technology, which provides superior color quality and brightness. This
innovative notebook also comes standard with a 1.3M webcam, Bluetooth capabilities,
3 USB ports and a 4-in-1 card reader.
