MSI Plans Next Wind Mini-laptop, Smaller Devices

Micro-Star International (MSI) is already planning a smaller, thinner version of its popular Wind mini-laptop aimed at business people, an official from the company said Thursday. The Taiwanese company is also planning a new mobile Internet device that's smaller than a mini-laptop.For its next generation Wind mini-laptop, MSI plans to reuse many of the same components as the original, including Intel's Atom microprocessor, a power-efficient chip designed for the new class of mini-laptop PCs and mobile Internet devices. So the focus this time is on design, and beefing up some functionality so the device appeals to businesses, said Andy Tung, sales director at MSI in the U.S. "On Intel's roadmap, there won't be any change in Atom until the second half of next year, so the microprocessor and chipset will be the same," said Tung.
