MSI Wind PC

A fortnight ago, the MSI Wind was available for $480. Now, MSI has slashed the price of the Wind and thrown in a $50 rebate, thus reducing the cost of the notebook to $430. The 6 cell battery notebook is being sold by many retailers at the new, lower price, making the Wind one of the cheapest notebooks.

While you can pick up a 3 cell battery notebook for $430, the 6 cell version will cost you between $459 and $469.

MSI’s aggressive marketing strategies and offers have certainly been well received in the markets thus far, and this new rebate will be welcomed delightfully
