ASUS just celebrated the first year of the “netbook” category of mobile computing devices and since they started it last year, the market has taken off with a wide choice of netbooks today. I had the chance to try out the MSI Wind for a couple of weeks and was so impressed that I ordered one for myself.

For writing, I think you see why it was a pretty easy choice for me to sell my U810 and pick up a Wind.
