CNET Crave has a gallery up and a hands-on of MSI’s Wind. With new cheapie subnotebooks on their way from Dell and Asus and the Eee already a success, it’s got to stand out–and it does…
This could be the best mini laptop so far — it’s comfortable to use, has a good display, is super-affordable and promises great performance.
We like: Screen; keyboard; value for money.
We don’t like: Mouse trackpad could be bigger; no integrated 3G.
Hands-On [CNET Crave]
Why a trackpad? The little nubbins are so much more efficient and work so much better.
Am I the only one who’s annoyed that all these new mini-notebooks only have D-Sub connectors for video-out?
I can almost understand not offering a DVI connector, as those are bigger, but isn’t there another connector that would provide a signal that can easily be converted (via a simple, cheap adaptor) to DVI or HDMI?
Yeah, damn right. Just give us HDMI and adapters!
I truly dislike mouse trackpads. Are there any of these things that *don’t* give 1/3 of their keyboard space over to a trackpad?
1024×600 kills it for me.
I’m not interested in any resolution below 1280×768.
