MSi M16

The MSi M16 is a low-end desktop PC that has the entire computer system built into the back of an LCD monitor; this particular type of computer is called a netbook. Due to the competitive pricing options and hardware benefits of similiar competitor models MSI has found itself right at the bottom of the netbook PC market alongside ASUS.

The M16 is the smallest, and cheapest, in the Neton series of netbook PC's being released by MSI. The M16 features a 15.6" TFT LCD screen with touch capability; the monitor has a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The M16 model netbook PC will most likely feature a single core Intel Atom CPU, and will come bundled with a licensed copy of the Windows XP operating system. The M16 will include a starting retail price of about $400, but the actual price will vary depending on options users choose. ASUS has a competing product with nearly identical specifications (Eee Tops) for around $100 more. Unlike the higher-end MSI netbook models (M19 and M22), the M16 requires a bulky stand that includes all the system hardware. MSI plans to ship the M16 model netbook sometime in February, 2009.
