Looks like an ASUS clone, wonder if it will do 1080p ?

MSI Wind PC. This link states a 4.7 litre capacity. Which is massive compared to the 1 litre odd capacity of the Asus B series. But then it does have a built in slim line DVD drive (a bonus I must admit, if there's one thing I miss with my B202 it's a built in drive. I hate having to phaff about with usb cables and external drives). Uses a 3.5" sata. Build quality looks... cheap. Not nearly as nicely packaged as the Asus, especially the rear. Also, no wireless N, only B/G. (AVL tab of MSI website states that someone put an intel N card in it and it works fine).

Was released around september last year in typical MSI fashion (no fanfare), I only found out about it by stumbling through wikipedia, then searched here to see if anyone else had caught it (hijacking your thread, rather than make another

). It is what it is. Damn cheap, which is probably not a good thing.

One thing that puts me off MSI, is the Wind netbook being rebranded as an Advent 4211 in the UK. Advent (thanks to being burnt financially, twice, albeit many years ago) is not a company I associate with quality products. I haven't used the Wind/4211, so don't know what it's quality is like now, so my judgement (and bias) is based on past experience, if anyone does have experience or indeed a Wind/4211 and feels differently, feel free to give me dogs abuse.
