MSI WindPad 100 is a Windows 7 Tablet

Listen to article

MSI also showed their own tablet/slate PC — the WindPad 100 — a 10-inch tablet PC running Windows 7 and an Atom processor.

MSI also placed a UI layer on top of Windows to make applications easier to access and launch.

According to Engadget, the MSI WindPad tablet is powered by an Intel Atom Z530 1.66GHz processor with 2GB of RAM and 32GB SSD. The tablet runs Windows 7 Home Premium out of the box.

The 10-inch capacitive touchscreen display has a resolution of 1024×600 pixels. The specs alone looks like it’s a netbook minus the keyboard and thus shaving off half the weight down to 1.7lbs. MSI is looking to sell this tablet later this year for $499.

MSI also showed the MSI WindPad 110 which is an Adroid tablet but with slightly different design and specs.

They should have put Android instead of Win7. That would cut down the prices significantly.

apple started it.. we all know it’s a weird name for a gadget… but what I don’t get is why other manufacturer are copying the “PAD” name of Apple? It always sounds like a sanitary napkin… just add the phrase.. “with wings”!!!

I don’t think this can utilize all the feature of Win7. However this is a create alternative to ipad but bit pricey, and I bet why…

It shouldn’t have run Windows 7. The experts at Engadget are making a mockery out of this device.

Windows 7 for tablets? Maybe on SP2, yes.

@docalfred – a 32GB iPad is $599 so the WindPad is cheaper.

@abraham – I think it can but they saved up on the Windows 7 license.
