While MSI released a tiny bit of additional info about the company’s upcoming MSI Wind ultraportable last week, there’s still a lot we don’t know about it. Like whether it will be available in the US and how much it would cost here. But blogger Mike Cane did find some additional details about the MSI Wind from a rather unlikely source: A YouTube video produced by a Turkish tech site.

First and foremost, the video shows the MSI Wind from every conceivable angle, so you can get a good loook at the USB ports, SD card slot, VGA output, and unusually large number of openings on one side of the screen. Either this thing’s got about a dozen USB ports, or there’s something I’m still failing to understand about it.

There’s also a spec sheet, which lets us know that the computer will have an 80GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, 1GB of something else, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, a 10-inch display, a 1.3MP camera, an SD card reader, a 3 cell battery rated at 2.5 hours, 3 USB ports, WiFi and Bluetooth. And the MSI Wind will run Windows XP Home Edition. If anyone speaks Turkish and wants to tell us what we’re missing, you can check out the original video below:

    Yeah, that is strange, especially since it's got an Atom.

    According to the translation from http://www.stars21.com/translator/turkish_to_en...,
    that other 1GB is "An additional burrow that is can takılabil memory".

    I'm guessing they mean the memory is expandable up to 2 GB (or more literally, you can add 1 more GB to the existing 1 GB of ram).

    Just my guess though...
