14 DAY TRIAL // While ASUS is hard at work to bring to light more Eee PC models that fans can enjoy, MSI also has a few surprises in store for the customers, and one of them is the unveiling of the latest edition of its highly successful 10-inch Wind Netbook. In order to celebrate the successful run that it has had so far, the manufacturer released today the "MSI Wind Netbook Love Edition," a special charity model. Based on the company's standard Wind netbook (as its name clearly implies), the Love Edition has been designed to support a range of notebook donation programs around the world.
The latest Wind netbook does not come with any new technical features but it more than compensates for the lack of those by a truly remarkable design. While the original models offered by the Taiwanese manufacturer came in just three colors, Angel White, Empire Black and Romantic Pink, the Love Edition features "tans, bright silver and shining gold hearts pattern on a pure white chassis to convey a sense of gentle softness."
The netbook has been designed to be handed as a donation, which will eventually help children improve their computer and Internet browsing skills. The company has also announced that this addition to the larger Wind notebook family will become part of the "Love with the Wind" global charity program. Created and supported by the company, "Love with the Wind" aims to encourage charity donations in Taiwan, China, Poland, Ukraine, Turkey, Russia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Korea and India, in order to give poor children a chance to learn how to use computers.
Besides being a very good marketing strategy, the Love Edition will also, as per an official statement coming from the Taiwanese manufacturer, help children get a better sense of computing experience. MSI is also confident that others will follow in its footsteps, thus showing concern and, at the same time, acting to operate a change for the better.
To what extent the MSI Wind is actually successful is almost impossible to verify but one thing is for certain: this ongoing charity program could actually boost users' interest in the 10-inch netbook.
