InsanelyWind U135 Review
Aug 6th
After Long delay (Yes this is ALL my fault and I do take all responsibility for it, sorry 
) here without further ado is the MSI Wind U135 Review:
When I first emailed MSI A few months ago about getting a review unit MSI Wind, I did not immediately get a response. A month or so later I did get a response from someone who was very willing to send me a Wind. I asked about a U160 which they did not have in stock (Which I will attempt to review later) but I did manage to get a U135, which is second best.
The MSI Wind U135 we got contains an N450 Atom Processor running at 1.66GHZ, and 1GB Onboard RAM. It has a 160GB or 250 GB Seagate HD and it comes preloaded with Windows 7 Starter (More on that later). The first thing you notice when you open the machine is gloss, and by gloss I do mean gloss. The machine is pretty much ALL glossy apart from the bottom case. And as you can imagine, fingerprints begin to occupy the glossy surfaces quite quickly.
The rest is after the jump.

MSI Projector PC concept shown at CES.
Jan 9th
MSI is Showing off their concept projector PC, which has a projector and computer in one curvacious package. Right now this prototype is using an Nvidia ION Video processor and an Intel Atom. The brightness of the projector is 100 Lumens and the contrast is 1000:1. It projects 1080p onto a 60 inch surface
The usefulness of such a computer can be debated, but it’s awesome nonetheless.
Updated Theme and a few other tweaks!
Dec 14th
Insanely Wind along with the help of user “matts” has updated it’s theme with various tweaks and other changes to make your forum experience better. Visit the forum to take a gander at the changes! We are still ironing out glitches.
Other new additions to the InsanelyWind community are:
A DSDT Sub-Forum for OSX
And a slightly changed title for “Hacks and Mods” to “Hacks and Hardware”
EDIT: I also added a search bar to the bottom of the forum which uses Google and is a much better search than the stock PHPbb 3.0.6 Search engine. Give it a shot. I am working toward integrating the Google Search throughout the forum. Look forward to better searching in the near future!
Enjoy!
