14 DAY TRIAL // Ever since it made its debut at the Computex fair, many have been wondering when will MSI's WindPad W110 tablet make it to retail and more importantly how much will this AMD Fusion powered slate end up costing.

The MSI WindPad W110 was designed with business people in mind and it sports a 10-inch IPS multi-touch screen with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels as well as an AMD Z-01 accelerated processing unit.

The operating system of choice is Windows 7 Home Premium, but the tablet also sports a few MSI specific enhancements, such as the Wind Touch user interface, the Easy Face log-in application as well as the Easy Viewer app, which allows for easy touch-controlled photo browsing.
