MSI WindPad W100 lands, priced

First shown back in May 2010, MSI’s Windows 7 powered tablet — the WindPad W100 — has now landed in the Philippines. Got the note from MSI reps yesterday and am expecting a review unit tomorrow.

However, Villman has also posted the WindPad W100 with a retail price of Php29,995.

MSI WindPad W100
Intel Menlow Processor Z530 @ 1.6GHz
2GB DDR2
32GB SSD
10.1″ Multi Touch Panel,
Windows 7 Home Premium,
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n/
Webcam with EasyFace
USB 2.0
SDHC Card Reader
Mini HDMI Port

The device weighs at just 0.8kg (1.76lbs) and MSI promises between 4-5 hours of battery life. Will post photos and more details once I get the actual unit.

    @ comment 17: A quick check reveals a Capacitive screen, not a resistive one.

    Hardware won’t be a problem – touch screen response and sensitivity as the device uses essentially the same hardware as competing capacitive tablets. Yes, that includes the iPad.

    Same for speed and power – the components used (Atom Z530, 2GB DDR, GMA500 graphics, even a 32GB SSD) is on par or faster than most other tablet specs, even the iPad’s A4 core + PowerVR 535 combo. The Atom Z530 may be a slowpoke in the world of desktops and full laptops, but it’s a veritable tiger in the tablet scene.

    The sole catch to all this is Windows 7. It is not at all designed primarily for tablet / touch use, thus user-friendliness will be a bit lower down the scale. People expecting the point-and-swipe ease of an iPad will probably be disappointed, unless MSI pulls a rabbit out of its voluminous sleeve and produce an excellent Touch user interface.

    However, people who want the flexibility and the power of a full Operating System (with capital letters yan!), and in agreement with comment #14, wants a portable device for *serious work* will probably be wise to consider this product.

    -Mahal

    -it looks more of a netbook pa rin.

    -Logo is so huge. pwede naman nila ilagay sa likod yan.

    -kailangan natin mas mahabang battery life.

    TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Expensive!!!

    4-5 hours battery life? 29K?

    Lugi ata… pano na lang kung medyo heavy ang application…

  10. Avatar for Malcoxx Malcoxx says:

    I agree that the price is slightly north of the Ipad considering this is the one it is competing against. For that amount (29k) I’d buy a 3g version.

    Kaya lang naman medyo mahal ay dahil sa OS niya… Pero kung ileless yung price ng OS, mura pa rin kung tutuusin yung presyo niya…

    A nice gadget for a great price. Those who can afford, grab and enjoy the opportunity. http://daniojr.blogspot.com/

    down!

    resistive touch screen?
    low battery life?
    slow processor?
    I agree… Apple iPad or any Android 2.2/2.3 tablet is better than this, and even any Windows 7-based ATOM slates.

    I will still consider buying a netbook than this tablet, because it’s much! cheaper and with a keyboard you can do your working easily. I will also prefer buying an ipad since it’s much cheaper and apple’s touch screen sensitivity and responsiveness is just perfect.

  15. Avatar for gg gg says:

    based on the pic, mukang may customized na interface, so guess no issues with touch usability.

    Medyo mahal, but I would rather get this than relatively weak OS like android and iOS. I always need the full pc experience with me :)

  16. Avatar for Salleh Salleh says:

    Will wait for the review. Please review touch sensitivity please :)

    Been waiting for a Win7 slate device for serious work.

    Ang mahal sa villman. Sa tpc Php26995, kaso ang mahal pa rin.

  21. Avatar for ber ber says:

    Win7 OS, it means it can install/run any application for desktop pc.

    Wow. Ultra portable computer!

    Is OS and application running smoothly on 1.6Ghz processor and 2GB memory?

  22. Avatar for MobilePinas MobilePinas says:

    with that price, I would rather buy Ipad instead of this.

    can this run Windows Aero? seems it doesn’t and if not, it would be boring.. potentially bad for marketing..
