MSI has officially announced an ultrapotable laptop called the Wind PC, which will compete with the Asus Eee PC in the low-cost notebook market.

“The Wind will come with either an 8.9- or 10-inch display option featuring LED backlight technology and a resolution of 1024×600. The system weights around 1kg, according to MSI, and includes a 2.5-inch hard drive with storage capacity of 80GB. The notebooks will include Windows XP and, unlike some other vendors, MSI has not mentioned any plans to offer a Linux-based version so far,” DigiTimes reports.

Pricing is expected to range between $470 and $1,099, while the availability date is currently unknown.
