It's powered by the next-generation 1.6 GHz Intel Atom 230 processor, which includes innovative hafnium-infused circuitry that reduces electrical current leakage in transistors to conserve energy. A power miser, the Wind Top AE1900 needs only 45 watts of power while in full operation (results may vary under conditions and settings), which saves up to 80 percent of power compared to traditional PC--providing the perfect balance between efficiency and power usage (and meeting the highest qualifications, like Energy Star 5.0). The Wind Top AE1900 is also nicely quiet, thanks to the latest cooling technology to control the noise level no more than 26 decibels, which is as quiet as a library.
The Wind Top AE1900's elegant white color and glassy frame make it a great choice for both office and living room (see larger image).
The AE1900-01SUS Wind Top PC is outfitted with a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM (non-expandable), a DVD burner (with dual-layer support), 1.3-megapixel webcam with integrated microphone, 4-in-1 memory card reader, stereo speakers with SRS Premium Sound, and Microsoft Windows XP Home. It connects to your network either via ultra-fast Gigabit Ethernet or via Draft-N Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n). The Wind Top AE1900 also comes with a color-matched mouse and multimedia keyboard. It also comes with two MSI-exclusive games: MSI Chicken Shake and MSI Star Mission--both of which can be controlled by the motion of your face through the webcam.
Widescreen, High Definition Touchscreen
The MSI Wind Top AE1900's 18.5-inch screen (1366 x 768) has a 16:9 display ratio that adds 14 percent more viewing space compared to regular 16:10 screens and shows no black bars on the top and bottom of the screen--perfect for displaying HD images and high quality movies. With a 5-millisecond response time, the display is realistic and quick with no delays, so characters remain vivid. It also offers a 160-degree viewing angle, high 1000:1 contrast ratio and 250 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, which can display detailed and colorful images even with darker or more complicated pictures.
In addition to its high definition resolution, the Wind Top AE1900 offers touchscreen functionality that's paired with a friendly, intuitive user interface--simply touch the screen to access all PC functions. The UI also sorts applications into four categories--Work, Fun, Tool, and Web--and you can browse all of the options via your fingertips across the screen and start programs by touching the graphic icons.
The touchscreen makes it easy to access all of your applications, which are sorted into four categories: Work, Fun, Tool, and Web.
The MSI Easy Viewer (above left) allows you to browse, enlarge, minimize and rotate, while the SoftStylus application (above right) enables onscreen handwriting.
The Wind Top AE1900 also comes with two touch-optimized applications: MSI Easy Viewer and SoftStylus. The MSI Easy Viewer photo viewing software allows you to quickly browse, enlarge, minimize and rotate all of your pictures, while the SoftStylus offers easy touchscreen input via natural handwriting or a touch-enabled softkeyboard (and it supports 18 languages).
The screen is paired with two sets of 3-watt stereo speakers and the SRS Premium Sound suite of audio technologies, which provides immersive surround sound from just two speakers (or a pair of headphones), deep, rich bass, and an intuitive user interface with a variety of presets.
Power-Sipping Processor
The Intel Atom 230 processor uses a brand new 45nm (nanometer) design structure that provides a 1.6 GHz CPU speed with a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 512 KB L2 cache--which uses just 4 watts of power. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) It supports Intel's EM64T 64-bit computing architecture, which can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory with compatible 64-bit software, as well as Intel's Hyper-Threading technology for speedier multitasking.

What's in the Box
This package includes the MSI Wind Top AE1900-01SUS, power cord, mouse, multimedia keyboard, and printed operating instructions.
Start watching Flash video, or even full screen Skype calls and it will struggle. I put mine inthe kitchen for Hulu and recipes, and it's perfect.
The setup process takes way too long, and Vista is a dog on this Atom processor. I installed a clean copy of Windows 7, and it works much better. You will need to download or install from the CD the touch screen drivers if you go the Win7 route. I suggest WinXP or Win7 on a computer with specs like this.
No VESA mount so you can't install a wall mount without some customization.
Pretty sure this is a problem with the machine and not user error but could be wrong as the documentation is pretty sparse.
I am packing it up tonight to ship back tomorrow so if anybody knows of a solution to my problem let me know.
Giving it three stars because based on other reviews it seems to be an okay machine. I seem to have just gotten a rotten one, which could happen to any manufacturer so I don't hold it against them. Well I guess I do since I plan to replace it with something else.
