MSI unveils Wind Pad slates with Windows 7, Android platforms   msi wind pad 100

MSI also unveiled their versions of the digital pad during Computex, with the Wind Pad 100 and 110. Both feature 10-inch capacitive touch screens, but will come with totally different mobile platforms.

The Wind Pad 100 will come with a netbook’s spec, running on Intel’s Atom Z530 processor, 2GBs of memory, a 32GB solid state drive, and a Windows 7 Home Premium operating system under MSI’s Wind Touch user interface to make the Win7 OS more touch-friendly. Listed to weigh in at only 1.7 pounds, the Wind Pad 100 will feature an HDMI port for playing 720p videos to an HDTV, a webcam, and a pair of USB ports for connectivity.

The Wind Pad 110 comes with a lighter spec highlighted by a dual core Nvidia Tegra 250 chip and an Android operating system.

Both should arrive earlier than any of Asus’ Eee Pads, although the netbook-y spec didn’t help out much with the price: the Wind Pad 100 will cost $499, while the 110 will sell for $399. Unless something changes, they’ll be priced the same as the Eee Pads, but with a considerably lighter spec compared to the Intel Core 2 Duo system and larger screens on the Asus slates.
