Photos: Asus Eee PC S101 hands-on

Crave Surprisingly, it only weighs 1.06kg -- less than an MSI Wind or Eee PC 1000. We've just got our greasy palms on the brand-new Eee PC S101, announced last month, and it is -- hands down -- the best Eee PC ever ever ever.

Crave Podcast 105: The Great Game Robbery

Crave It wouldn't be a Crave Podcast if we didn't go hands-on with some hot new gadgets, so it's no surprise we're fingering the MSI Wind, Onkyo's HTX-22HD sound system, and discussing Samsung's new NC10 netbook.

Crave Admittedly, some netbooks' keyboards aren't very good, but we'd sooner type out a long email on an MSI Wind, for example, than on the iPhone. If like us you need the Internet like you need air and sugary drinks, you'll be utterly thrilled by the...

Advent 4211: It's the MSI Wind, but cheaper

Crave Want an MSI Wind but can't afford the £320 asking price? It's quite simple: MSI is an ODM (original design manufacturer), which means it makes barebones chassis for its own use and to sell to other companies, known as SIs (system integrators).

Battle of the breeze: MSI Wind versus MacBook Air
