An Insanely Mac Forum member by the name of JAV got his hands on an MSI Wind, and one of the first things he did was install a hacked version of OS X 10.5.2 on it.

The folks at Laptop Magazine decided to take their Eee PC 1000H, rip out the hard drive, and install a solid state disk to see what impact the change has on performance.

Wait, make that two problems. Mercantec says they’re selling the notebook for $320, which is a good $60 below the price Acer is expec[...]

It looks like Medion and MSI aren’t the only two companies selling computers made by the same OEM. The Mouse Computer LuvBook U100 bears a striking resemblance to the MSI Wind U100 Notebook.

The Medion Akoya Mini set to go on sale in Germany and Austria next week. But Eee PC News.de has confirmed that the computer will ship with a 3 cell batter, not the 6 cell battery that had originally been advertised. Given that the Medion Akoya Mini is pretty much the same computer as the MSI Wind, this news should come as no surprise. MSI has been[...]
