It seems that the Asus EEE Pc has created a whole slew of tiny laptops that are looking to capitalize off its popularity.
The latest comes from MSI, dubbed the Wind. Available in 8 and 10 inch flavors, and powered by Intel Atom processors running at 1ghz and 1.6ghz, the MSI Wind costs between 299 and 599 euros. While the high end model puts it in the price range of more full-sized notebooks, 299 euros is very much a cheap computer and a direct price competitoragainst the EEE pc.
The initial specs are as follows;
1024 x 768 display
Intel Atom CPU at 1.0 or 1.6GHZ
2.5″ HDD or SSD
1GB RAM

Pocket-Lint reports that the ECS G10IL is a very interesting competitor to the Asus EEEpc. The tiny laptop packs in a ton of features (HSPDA 7.2!) into a small package under $500, and it looks great to boot.
“The Asus Eee PC could have a new challenger in the guise of the ECS G10IL.
The new sub-$500 notebook will come with a HSPDA 7.2 datacard built-in.
Although currently still in production, and details incredibly sketchy at the moment as to what else you will get in the box or when it will launch in the UK, what we do know is that it comes with a built-in webcam, three USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet and a 56Kb/s modem.
There is no optical drive but if its got HSDPA it’s sure to come with Wi-Fi and most likely Bluetooth too boot.”
