Check out how they both performed in the below video.

    And the time to boot the linux version? Does anyone know it?

  2. Mike Cane Says:

    Amazing how hp put a slower HD in its Mini Note, yet upstart MSI didn’t go cheap and offered a faster HD. And then American companies wonder why they lose market share to Asian companies.

    Bravo! Great video. Along with all of the techie stuff, this type of “real world” information is what I (and hopefully, other folks) want to see. Side-by-side comparisions of competing products.

    You guys have also had the most thorough review. Thanks.

    it’s great that the msi wind boots in around 45secs! but note that in the video it also shows the speaker capacity of HP with the opening sound of xp.

    Of course the MSI wind is faster, it has the latest Intel ATOM processor while HP mininote is using a VIA processor.
