OK. I get this info from Wikipedia and I think I read it in engadget from computex coverage last week. Apparently the 10" version will go on sale in US on the 16th of June. In case if any of you guys didn't know, the pricing is USD399 for Linux and USD549 for XP version.

it's already in first post.

cheers

Didn't realise that. In any case, 5 more days until 16th of June. Hopefully it does come out on that day and won't repeat Everex Cloudbook (I hope I spell it right)

i like the pink color, nice color

dunno how reliable n durable

Well3, it seems it getting delayed. Dunno how true it is.

No such luck. AFAIK its only for single channel.

can get in low yat already?

No. Not yet. It was available for pre-order from some website but it was quickly sold out. However, it only expected to be deliver to those who pre-order on the 27th June.

Another thing is, it seems the battery shortage affect MSI Wind as well. Thus, it will only ship with 3 cell battery now. 6 cell battery will be available sometime in June. However, I have no idea when it will make it to our shore.

the price is good, around RM18xx, better than hp mini note.

how about the build up quality?

How you know the price? Isit selling in Lowyat?

Still nobody know if the Wind is already in sale?

I don't know the price, but as my personal predict it should be below Rm 1.5k (try to compete eee pc )

don think can get that cheap, i guess is close to RM2k, as US price is USD550

I think so as well..

still better buy then hp mini note, i don like the processor it use..

I heard it is being sold in Imbi, ground floor, some shop at 1899

I really2 dun think so. The possible shipping date for those who pre-order (I'm not sure from which website though) is 27th June. And there is possibility of another delay!

The shipping date has been delayed to mid of July according to some Taiwanese forum and the ppl there are making noise. FYI, first batch of Wind already reach shanghai few days ago, albeit in limited quantity.

No wonder someone in the msiwind.net forum mentioned he seeing wind in china cities (not sure which maybe shanghai). I didn't mentioned this in my previous post as I'm not sure my memory serves me right about it and too lazy to check it again.

But IINM, the guy said it cost significantly more than USD500. Sorry not sure the actual price. Too lazy to go there and reading the same thing over and over again (possibility of delay and issues of 3 cell battery)

z3171600,

yup, more than USD500 cause it's around RMB4300+ ...

Nope, what they selling at Low Yat ground floor is the Eee PC 900.
Dealers has raised the price to RM1899 from the original price RM1699.

Hei All,

Saw in Shanghai they are launching MSI Wind at pre-order and collect this weekend at RMB4399 (abt MYR2070).
Its DDR2-2GB and 3cells Batt. Normal retail at RMB4999 (abt MYR2380)

Singapore is retailing st SGD869 (abt MYR2035) w DDR2-1GB.

Only prob - WinXP Home Chinese version...

Machine is kool can be yr tavel partner all times.

From pre-order website, msi shop and buy.com, they listed the price for 3 cells at 479USD while 6 cells at USD499. Now I'm wondering why the price for Wind in Asia higher than in US. They assemble in USA? Highly unlikely. Higher shipping cost (Go to US through pacific first - who whould do that lol)?

i just bought it lah, go to Imbi, ground floor.

Michaeltan,

Feast us with the photos of your newly beloved WIND. How much does it cost? RM1899?

I'm so excited already. Haha. What color you bought? Too bad I live in Negri Sembilan or else I'm checking it out at Imbi.

things are always cheaper in msia ie asian pricing. Asus 900 is 549 (RM1756 at 3.2 exchange rate) but here can get RM1600.

the msi wind at imbi is 3-cell (3 hours battery life) and costs ~rm1999. also, the msi wind's actual size is like eeepc1000 (much bigger than normal eeepc, if u are used to eeepc's size).

Very pricey for MSI Wind running on 3-cell for RM1999.
Perhaps the dealer mark-up the price cause the price estimated should be around RM1.6 - RM1.7k for the 3-cell.

No point getting Intel Atom but can last 3 hours usage.

Better wait for the 6-cell (5-6 hours battery life) but than the price will be above RM2k

Yeah, a very pricey price. The Wind getting less and less attractive by the minute.

ASUS Eee PC 901 vs. MSI Wind NB U100


http://hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=14&id=2605

anybody know the price in S'pore?

yup yup...saw the real deal (demo set) at recent PC Show in S'pore. was told then estimated RRP will be SG$859 (3-cell batt). & when holding it, screen's bigger & it's much heavier than eeePC 900 (bigger screen + HDD).

to be honest, I have used both and the Asus is much more smaller and portable. Let's face it, 8.9 inch cukup lah. Can do everything.

the wind though same weight is bigger and bulkier than the Asus.

Also Asus Hard Disk is much much better, jatuh also, nothing happens. You can throw it here and there a SD drive is much much more advanced.

Why need more than 20GB? Taruk porn kah?

haha....ya lah. at 1st, i also thought 10" + 80GB HDD, bigger = better, right? then i saw the MSI Wind & got to have a feel of it...it's nice, but i was thinking...the size of the 10" MSI Wind, very close to a 12" or even my (then) 13" Macbook. might as well top up few hundred more & get a full fledged C2D laptop...

but what i really need is a portable laptop. when i had my Macbook, i ended up rarely using it. cos it's just too heavy for me to bring around jalan2 every day....shoulders also wanna patah already. some more on the S'pore MRT, if get a seat & wanna bring out a laptop the Macbook's size is SO leceh...either i heck care & elbow the people sitting next to me, or i try very hard to take out the lappy w/o elbowing them. both also difficult. then when reach my stop, gabrah...need to rush out with lappy in hand. not that easy to dump a 13" lappy into the bag.

then 7" eeePC also i saw up close & in action (client's event). size was great. very portable. but the screen + resolution not my cup of kopi. 8.9" @ 1024x600res really does seem like the sweet spot.

I ada pergi Imbi ground floor. cari dua jam tak dapat.

good pricing with the spec to compete eee

where do u get this banner from? low yat which shop?

saw it on monday newspaper ad. pm me for details if interest

i'm not seller nor help any seller...just to avoid

Thanx for the information IronTech. I just call them. But they asked me to call another number. Huhu. I just stop there.

what is the CPU & battery spec?

cpu is atom and batterry is 3 cell just got back from there. they have white n oink available

Did you grab one ?

Where is the shop?

The address is

No151, Jln SS2/24, 47300 PJ.

I don't know where that is lol.

Are they selling the 6-cell battery as well?
Anybody knows if the Wind is directly from Taiwan or it's an official distributor in M'sia? The concern would be on the warranty.

At the moment all MSI Wind comes with 3 cell battery...MSI said 6 cell only will be released in few months time.

wat's the shop name in the SS2 address? quite interest to get one

It's better to hold on first your purchase.

I suggest you to check out the Eee PC 901 which shall be out anytime this few weeks.
