MSI Wind

 

Out of all the UMPCs available in the market, the MSI Wind is the best deal.

Aggressively priced (under $500). Runs the Intel Atom platform. Big 10-inch screen. Very light. 80GB hard drive. Windows XP Home Edition

Needs a bigger battery. Although pleasant to type on, the keyboard needs to be full-size

MSI PR200 Ultra Mobile Notebook

 

The amount of features found on the MSI PR200 is unbelieveable. It's one of the most feature-packed ultra portable notebooks I've ever come across. What's more, you get very goood performance from the nippy 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 (Merom)...
