MSI Wind Review - PC Mag
PC Magazine have published their review of the MSI Wind UMPC. 'The Wind's 1.6-GHz Intel Atom N270 processor helps it avoid a problem that plagues the HP Mini-Note: running warm in your lap from heat that it generates. Unlike the HP Mini-Note's VIA C7-M processor, the Atom is more energy efficient and is a much better performer. Its video-encoding score of 5 minutes was almost twice as fast as the HP's (9 minutes). And the 1GB of memory is more than enough to run Windows XP.
As energy-efficient as the Atom processor is, battery life is still restricted by the size of the battery: Its 24-Wh battery (alas, no upgrades are available) yielded only 2 hours 24 minutes on MobileMark 2007. Because the HP Mini-Note has a 55-Wh battery option, you can get up to 4 hours of battery life, according to HP. (Because of limitations inherent in the MobileMark 2007 test, we were unable to use it to test the Mini-Note.)'
