So we got our hands on the new MSI WindPad W100, one of the very few Windows 7 based tablets. With traditional tablets of this kind, expect a combo of an Intel chip and Win7 to cater to a specific market or niche.
The WindPad W100 really looks and feels like a netbook cut into half, leaving out the keyboard. The device is a little thick on the side too, probably due to the limitations of the chip sizes.
MSI WindPad W100
10.1″ display @ 1024×768 pixels
Intel Menlow Processor Z530 @ 1.6GHz
2GB DDR2 RAM
32GB SSD
Windows 7 Home Premium
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Webcam
USB 2.0 port
SDHC Card Reader
Mini HDMI Port
There are actually two cameras here — one at the back and one in front. The mini HDMI port allows you to plug it to an external display like a TV or monitor. Interestingly, there’s a SIM card slot as well but I don’t know if there’s a modem installed inside or just an optional slot for future upgrade.
The MSI WindPad W100 is being sold at VillMan for a suggested retail price of Php29,995. Full review to come out next week.
He he he… Nakakaantok na to… Porke’t walang mailabas na pruweba sa proposisyon, nagmamatigas na lang… Sabagay, ;ahat naman ng posts ng ibang tao ay sapat na sigurong patunay na maayos din naman ang MSI at Acer… Pagod na ko sa bugok na to…
O sige, ganito na lang, pag ako nakapagpost pa sa thursday dito ibig sabihin di mo ko napatay. Ibig sabihin sinungaling ka. Bahala ka kung saan mo ko gustong hanapin, basta ako tatambay sa #71 9 de Pebrero. Bahala ka na kung maniniwala ka o hindi. Nandun lang ako. Kiung may karga ka sa ibaba eh darating ka. Kung wala naman eh di makipagpompeangan ka na lang.
Pwede mo ring bawiin yung pagtawag mo sa mga MSI users ng “fools” kung saka-sakaling wala kang pamasahe at wala kang kargada sa baba na pumunta sa amin.
O kaya naman, lagay mo na lang address mo dito at ako na pupunta sa iyo kumag ka…
O paano? hanggang sa huwebes! Huwag kang magalala, di kita papatayin, di naman ako kagaya mo na panay pahangin eh…
Pero sisiguraduhin ko sa yo na yang dugo mo eh magmamantsa sa aserong naririto sa bulsa ko.. Ayt?
Makatulog nga ng maaga. Paghahandaan ko tong pagdating ni Boy Labo… Balita ko tirador daw to sa lugar nila eh… Tirador ng bayabas! He he he…
You know, I visited Mr. Jhay’s blog, and somehow I’m having doubts they’re the same person.. The writer on the blog linked to Jhay’s name is thoughtful, introspective and talks about politics more often than technology, at least for the last handful of posts.
So heads up guys, possible na troll lang itong version ng “jhay”, not the real thing. This person’s last post only reinforces my thinking, it seems.
@marco, thanks sa support. If the person I was commenting at was too *dense* not to realize the sarcasm, it’s not really my problem anymore.
I’m just all the more saddened by the degenerative state of internet freedom feeding the sadly uninformed and foul-mouthed “jhays” of the world. Let’s ignore the troll people; it brings nothing to this discussion.
A poster at another Windpad thread (w100 lands, priced thread) states a rumor of a launch at SM Manila.. anyone hear about this? An android version was also mentioned.. nag google ako maganda ung design nya a… –

Interesting! sarap paglaruan ‘to kung android, lagyan ko din ng custom rom and use it with a free nav app – like my phone but more powerful and with a bigger screen.. sir Yuga hopefully ma cover din ito ng blog, it looks like a great product.
@charlestio: I saw his blog too. Napa-isip din ako noong nakita ko. If what you say is true then we shouldn’t waste our time reacting to his comments.
or pwede naman si Jhay talaga yan, desperate to promote his less than stellar blog :P
Haha, possible din, we just don’t know unless the guy confirms or denies. Incidentally, Pusang Tulog kumusta?
Mr Jhay’s account might also be accessible to many people, hence the foul-mouthed version in these comments as opposed to the author in the blog..
Anyone seen the WindPad 110 in the engadget link yet? Sana ung design nitong WindPad 100 ganyan na lang, para gwapo… there’s even a bamboo back panel!

I guess its just preference. Will there be one that could be more portable than the galaxy? Hayy the waiting continues…
He he he… Ayos lang… Tulog pa rin… Busy lang kaya di nakapagpost kaagad… Ahaha!
