MSI Wind blowing into Best Buy
We told you earlier that MSI was going to announce the appearance of the Wind U100 in a "major retailer" and today they did so. We got the PR from MSI that announces the Wind will be appearing shortly in Best Buy stores throughout the US for $399. Soon you’ll be able to walk into a Best Buy and try out a MSI Wind before plunking down your bucks for the unit with a 1.6 GHz Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, Windows XP and a 120GB hard drive. Best Buy will carry the Wind in black and white to match the rest of your cloud. Unfortunately this only has the 3-cell battery but maybe, just maybe we can get our hands on the 6-cell battery to go with it before too much longer.
I’ve been waiting forever for bestbuy to actually list netbooks on their site. now they have a drop down and a description, but still no list of netbooks available. Whar?? And when you click to ask why, they don’t have online (typing) chat enabled, just a phone number where you can call them or chat that requires your computer to have a mike. sorry I’m at work, no such thing. BB and Frys and all the brick and mortar stores have miserably failed to make it easy for me to find and buy a netbook. Grr.
That headline deserves some sort of reward! That’s awesome.
