How does a compact “Travel MacBook” sound?  With a little effort, some transplant surgery and moderate outlay, you could DIY just that: The Gadgeteer’s Julie has just switched software on her MSI Wind netbook, and rather than pick between the usual choices of Windows XP or a Linux distro, she’s installed Apple’s OS X.

Having been delayed since the netbook’s launch, the 6-cell battery version of the MSI Wind is finally in stock with US retailers.  Newegg currently have the netbook listed at the recently increased price of $549.99, limited to one per customer and, at time of writing, only in pink.

LG unveiled their new netbook, the X110, at IFA 2008 today, and while as expected it’s based on the MSI Wind, the company has added lashings of connectivity that push up both usability and price.  That includes a choice of built-in 3G HSPA and GPS modules.

If the MSI 10-inch Wind and the 14.1-inch P400 are either too small or too big to suit your tastes, the EX310 may be just right for you. The EX310 Notebook has a 13.3-inch screen with 1280×800 resolution and will be available in both red and blue color options.

Week in Review time, and it seems like there’s plenty to look back on over the past seven days.  Continuing our fresh tradition, in the fast-moving netbook segment we’ve seen confirmation of ASUS’ Eee PC plans - 23 models in all, the next of which being the 701SD, together with dual-core and bigger SSD versions [...]

Disappointing rumblings from MSI, as the price of their Wind netbook climbs uncomfortably.  Facing what the company describes as an increase in both battery and material costs, the MSRP has now been pushed up to $499.99 with the 3-cell battery and $549.99 with the 6-cell battery.  Previously the company had pledged to reduce the 3-cell [...]

It’s become somewhat traditional to start the week’s review with what’s happening in the netbook world, a niche that’s arguably the fastest developing right now in consumer tech.  Fujitsu kicked things off with the proclamation that budget ultraportables “don’t add up” and that the current race to the bottom line doesn’t give manufacturers enough room [...]

Latest company to be tipped in a netbook rumor is LG, with a Digitimes report claiming they had been looking for a manufacturing partner and, according to sources, settled on MSI.  The budget notebook, apparently called the X110, is tipped to launch in October and, like many rivals, will use Intel’s Atom processor.

Most people would say the frustrating thing about the MSI Wind is its shipping delay, but Microsoft MVP Paul O’Brien has taken issue with another aspect: its OS.  Working on an Advent 4211 rebadge, Paul has stripped the budget ultraportable of Windows and replaced it with Apple’s OS X Leopard.  The result is a 10-inch mini-MacBook.
