We spied the hot MSI Wind Top in the past but now we are finally seeing what the US market models will look like. We’re getting two different models here in the States and both sport a 1.3MP webcam and a 18.5-inch, 1366 x 768 touchscreen that supports multi-touch goodness via MSI-built photo viewing software. No word on the larger 20- or 22-inch models for us here though.
The AE1900-01US ships with an Atom 230 CPU that powers Windows XP Home, while an Intel GMA950 provides the graphics juice. Plus, the base model ships with a 160GB, 7200 HDD, Gigabit Ethernet, 1GB of DDRII 533MHz RAM, b/g/n WiFi, and a 4-in-1 card reader.
The similar AE1900-05SUS ups the CPU to an Atom 330 Dual Core, 2GB of Ram, and a 250GB, 7200 RPM HDD. No word on how much this model option will cost, but the base AE1900-01US will be $529 when these systems launch, which is anyone’s guess as that info wasn’t in the press release either.
