MSI Wind

[doody_]

hey did u guys see the dissection and power consumption test done by vr-zone?
click here

"From our tests, the Wind will last an approximate 1 hour 15 minutes at constant full load an and approximate 2 hours and 15 minutes under normal usage conditions."

Bah, it seems like they've measured the power drain wrongly. The figures for normal usage seem correct though.

Does the Wind have an option for SSD locally?

 

[denilson]

because it uses the sata you can just swap out the hard disk for a ssd

Hey everyone, theres a hands-on review here by Laptop Mag:

With lots of stuff running they got 5.5 hours on the 6 Cell

MSI Wind is a Wind-ner! Whoever is getting the stock for the Wind should order the 6 cell. The 3 cell is a total waste of time....

unfortunately,no stock for 6 cell...

Like dat no fun of buying MSI Wind notebook do not have 6 cell battery, what the
whole point of release on to the market don't have 6 cell. I was looking forward to
this product of buying it, until read all the forum about MSI notebook and to my
surprise what is this man..

It's a battery shortage - can't be helped .

 

[walt113]

[idiort]

[bakasa2002]

Hmm, any news that it will debut on PC show nx wk? Or we still gonna wait???

 

[angjiahao]

Which has the best battery life or is it the same?

[idiort]

i think ill leave no choice but to get EEEPC 900 then.
since that laptop is the cheapest of all and what i need is just basic word processing -.-

The price of the Eee PC 701 isn't dropping yet - still a bit too early. Wait for the 901 to be released.

I think there was an ad by Best Denki yesterday that offered the Eee PC 702 (8G SSD) for $448 or $398 (for Best Denki members). The catch? You can get the Eee PC at this price if you have purchased $888 of products from them. Still, it is a good deal if you had wanted to buy something there. Wonder if anyone would take up the offer and sell it cheaply on ebay later... Can expect prices for Eee PC 70x to drop further once Eee PC 901 hits the market.

702 no value now.

guys, if you really want MSI wind with 6 cell, then hold off buying!!! wait till 6 cell batteries are available before committing!

btw, does anyone know what's the difference in the materials required for 3 cell and 6 cell batteries? if its just difference in the number of cells, then they could have just produced more 6 cell batteries and less 3 cell batteries? kind of lame to say shortage of batteries when 3 cells are readily available(unless they tell me the 3 cell batteries are stockpiled since way back)
