Don’t know about that. The Wind is still cost competitive with the Dell, given the large hard drive and display. And we don’t know yet if one can actually touch type on the Dell, the way you cannot on the Eee 700, 900 and 901.

OTOH, the Dell has the Dell badge on it.

So I guess we’ll see. I personally am going to jump on the 6-cell Wind like a monkey on a peanut-butter-and-nanner sammich.

MSI seems to have really shot themselves in the foot with the Wind delay. Should be interesting to see the timing of this release.
