MSI finally officially announced the launch of its Wind notebook, the first 10" laptop to feature Intel's new 1.6GHz Atom processor.

Short for Wi-Fi Network Device, the Wind weighs 2.6 poounds, and offers an 80GB 2.5-inch SATA hard drive, a backlit LED, a built-in Webcam, three USB ports, and a 4-in-one hard drive. The systems ship in Windows or Linux versions and feature a built-in battery that should get users up to 5.5 hours of battery life.

Of course the real appeal here is the price, at either $399 or $499 for the Linux and Windows XP versions, respectively. The Windows version will be available through MSI's site on June 16. The Linux model will appear later in the year.
