HCL MiLeap MH 04: MSI Wind goes to India

Computer maker HCL is bringing the MSI Wind to India in the form of the MiLeap MH 04. Like it’s American and European cousins, the MH 04 packs a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, an 80GB HDD, and a 10.2 inch 1024 x 600 pixel display.

The computer will run Rs. 24,999, which is about $586 US.

The MiLeap MH 04 isn’t HCL’s first leap (sorry) into low cost comuters. The company’s MiLeap S, L, and X series computers, which start at less than $330 appear to be based on the Intel Classmate PC design, with a 900Mhz Intel Celeron CPU and a 7 inch 800 x 480 pixel display. The MiLeap V Series is a bit more exciting. It’s an $820 mini-tablet PC that runs Windows Vista, has a 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel touchscreen display.

It looks like the MiLeap MH 04/MSI Wind will be squarely placed in between the company’s low end laptops and it’s higher cost mini-tablet.
