The MSI Wind U100 gets ready to meet the people. We’ve seen so many Eee wannabes so far, each having good and bad parts to add to this new mini laptop market.

From what people are mumbling over the MSI Wind it looks like Asus should fear the U100 release. First of all I must say the price looks really good. The Wind with Windows XP is going to retail for $499 which is a whole $100 cheaper than the Eee 901. And if you don’t remember why the Wind is not only cheaper but better, here’s why: it’s got 10 inch screen and a whooping 80GB hard drive.

I haven’t had the chance to test the MSI but I did try the Eee. The MSI does make a better impression. I would alway recommend a bigger, better laptop, but if I were to choose from the MSI and the Eee series, I’d go for the MSI Wind for now.

Tthe Qosmio X305 and we have another Qosmio, the G55 under scrutiny today. It’s rumored that this laptop will go in sale somewhere in July for no less than $1,550.

Here’s what we know so far about the Qosmio G55 from Toshiba:

• an 18.4-inch (1680 x 945) display,
• Centrino 2 CPU,
• GeForce 9600M GT,
• 4GB of RAM,
• dual drives,
• “Quad Core HD processor” (Cell-based SpursEngine?).

What we are curios about is the visual gesture control capability. Apparently that’s what the quad core HD processor should be doing. That’s something I want to see done. I like the old fashion keyboard and mouse thing to control my blogging habits and I intend to keep it for a long time. But I’d still try the hands control thing once!
