New Toy

Ok so I know I'm trying to save up for the D90 but I got derailed into getting one thing that I have also been longing for, an MSI Wind.

I did buy the black one from Best Buy yesterday after work. A few weeks ago it was $350, and yesterday there was a price drop for $309 so I went for it. However, the white one is on sale for $350 but i don't think they had it in stock. So the reason I am no into this netbook, as for those who know me I love and will never give up Apple, is to double boot the sucker. Yeah so I currently own a MacBook Pro, iMac g4 old one still works. Running the latest version of OSX of course. Now for the Wind U100. This compact sucker has a lot of potential. As for the tech specs:

• Intel® Atom™ N270 Processor

•  Windows XP Home

• 10” Wide Screen Display
• Convenient Magnifying Capability
• Ergonomic Big-Size Keyboard and Touch Pad
• Hard Drive with Massive Capacity (160gb)
• Built-in High Resolution Mega Pixels Webcam
• Built-in High-Performance 2 Channel Stereo Speakers, and Microphone
• 802.11b / g / n Wireless Lan with Bluetooth 
• Comprehensive Multi-Media Application Interface

So based on all the information above you could say that its pretty awesome for something so small. However I don't believe it states that it came with 1gb of ram pretty good. Better then the previous versions with only 512mb of ram and/or 80gb of hard drive space.

Very awesome  I think. So what I am going to do for this little suckerrr is partition the drive and add OSX on one of the partitions. Don't ask me how to do it or whatever, use google, it does wonders. Anyways continuing on. Sometime once I figure out how to do the whole creating OSX on the wind I will do it all over again, but replace my 160gb hard drive for a 500gb hard drive. More SPACEEE!!! Once that is all done, there is a touchscreen panel which could also be found somewhere online. My friend does own a wind and has done all of this completely, and working without the touchscreen installed. he does have the touchscreen but haven't had the time to install it. 

Yea so I will try to keep you updated with my wind. So now i am set back a little with the D90 but you never know what can come up. So moving on forward. Its not that bad of a set back because The money I used for the wind was really for spring break coming up. Stay tuned readers!
