Wortmann Terra netbook crams 2010 parts into a 2008 shell

At first glance, the Wortmann Terra Mobile 1020Go looks like an MSI Wind U100 — a netbook that was released during the summer of 2008. And to be honest, it probably is using the same chassis as that venerable netbook. Dozens of other computers have popped up with the same case over the years. But while the Wind U100 had…

StarCraft II beta on a netbook: It runs, but not very well

Most netbooks aren’t really designed with gaming in mind. The Intel Atom processor and integrated graphics found in most netbooks just isn’t up to the task of handling 3D graphics at high frame rates. But there are definitely some games that run well even on older netbooks. I think it’s a bit early to put Starcraft 2 into that category,…

MSI Wind U100 gets a Windows 7 update (just not in the US)

MSI released the Wind U100 mini-laptop in 2008. Like pretty much every other netbook launched in the second half of that year, it had a 10 inch screen, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive and ran Windows XP. Over the past year, MSI has released several updates to its Wind netbook line including the Wind…

Hannspree HannsNote (MSI Wind U100 clone) coming to America

hannsnote

The Hannspree HannsNote is a 10 inch netbook with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAm, and 160GB hard drive. It ships with a 6 cell battery, and looks pretty much like every other netbook on the market today on paper. In real life though, it looks pretty much exactly like one netbook: the MSI Wind U100. That’s…

MSI Wind U100 Plus to ship in Europe

MSI first started showing off the Wind U100 Plus netbook ages ago. Since then, the company has begun selling the updated Wind U123 netbook, but the U100 Plus has been a no show. But now Fudzilla is reporting that the Wind U100 Plus is set to go on sale in Europe within the next few weeks. The MSi Wind U100…

Forget adding power to your netbook, use a netbook battery to power everythng

wind usb charger

People spend a lot of time figuring out how to make their gadgets last longer. And in the realm of netbooks, that’s usually meant shopping around for third party extended capacity netbook batteries or building your own. But one hacker is taking a different approach, and using a standard netbook battery as a charger for iPhones and other USB powered…

Indamixx open source music creation netbook gets an update

indamixx-wind

Indamixx has been loading up mini-laptops with open source audio production software for a while now. I first heard about the company in late 2008. At the time, the company was selling a Sylvania G Meso laptop with an 8.9 inch display, a custom Linux operating system and a whole slew of free and commercial music making tools for creating,…

MSI Wind U100 + 9 cell battery + OS X = 6 hours

u100-9-cell

We’ve seen 9 cell batteries for the MSI Wind before. Word on the street is that they’ll provide about 7.5 hours of battery life on a standard Wind U100 running Windows XP. I assume if you throw one in a newer MSI Wind U100 Plus with its more energy efficient CPU, you could eke out even more run time. But…

Deal of the Day: MSI Wind U100 for $300

msi-wind-u100-amz

Back in December I started to notice that the price on the original MSI Wind U100 with a 3 cell battery had fallen to around $300, but it wasn’t clear whether this was a permanent price drop or just a holiday sale price. With several new models hitting the streets in 2009, it looks like the $300 MSI Wind U100…

Yet another MacBook Mini hack – with glowing Apple logo

A member of the MSI Wind.net forums has put together a tutorial for modding an MSI Wind U120 netbook lid to include a glowing Apple logo. Look, I know this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a hack like this. But that doesn’t make it any less cool, OK? One thing that really makes this hack special is that it…

MSI releases Windy Zone software for Wind netbooks

windy-software

MSI is launching a “Windy Zone” software pack for MSI Wind U100 and U90 users. There are currently 6 games and one rather useless app called MSI Q-Face that lets you add cheesy effects to your instant messaging icon. The gamepack actually looks like it could be fun. The games include a few scrolling space shooters like Chicken Invader and…
