That is in no small part due to the power parsimony of the 4W Atom processor, although as our exclusive benchmarks of the chip reveal, the Atom's speed is no match for Intel's Core range of desktop processors.
The passively-cooled PC will be only 6.5cm wide according to MSI, which is a third of the width of the traditional ATX chassis.
The Wind PC comes in a week full of low-cost PC announcements, with Asus fleshing out the details of its 10in Eee PC, and Acer launching its own low-cost laptop, the Aspire One.
