According to a post on Engadget the new MSI Wind U90 netbook will be available here in Europe (no info abut specific markets) for €339 with SUSE Linux. Shipping should start by the end of September.
Engadget also has a new gallery of pictures.
Not so long ago it was next to impossible to find a sub-notebook of any kind in Finnish stores, now it seems that several shops are offering atleast one of the major models (ASUS Eee PC, MSI Wind, Acer Aspire One). Below are some of the best deals I could find, please let me know if you come across any better ones.
Apparently MSI will follow in Asus’s footsteps and create a desktop version of their sub-notebook. The desktop Wind will likely have pretty much the same internals as the current notebook editions. It will be powered by the same 1,6GHz Intel Atom CPU and feature 1GB of DRAM(upgradeable to 2GB), a 3.5-inch HDD with up to 160GB of storage and WLAN 802.11b/g built in. A DVD drive will also be included.
The price will range from $199 to $299, depending on the feature set. The InfoWorld article says that the machines will ship with Windows XP, but hopefully a Linux version will also be available…
According to an email received by an Engadget reader, Fred H, the MSI Wind’s shipping is beign delayed until “the week of July 7.” This positions it to arrive at around the same time as the new Asus Eee PCs…
