MSI WindPad 120W (closer look)
In recent months we were discussing WindPad 100w and WindPad 110w both from MSI. MSI new WindPad 120W is very similar to MSI WindPad 110W with the difference of Intel’s dual-core 1.86GHz (32nm) Cedar Trail Atom N2800 processor instead of AMD Fusion as had been seen in previous models. Intel has designed this Cedar Trail chip to power netbooks, but it seems to perform better than AMD chip. Intel is heavily focused on Apple these days as well as tablets and smartphone devices with their new 22nm technology. Cedar Trail provides all of WiDi, wireless audio, Fast Flash Standby and integrated 3G.
New WindPad 120W has a plastic frame around bezel offering protection as well as vents for cooling down the tablet and spaces for ports such as SIM card slot, SDHC card reader, volume rocker, rotation lock, headphone, USB and HDMI. WindPad 120W has an awesome audio with SRS Surround Sound.
Display is 10.1 inch, resolution 1280 x 800 with WiDi 2.0 functionality (wireless display), and video easily managed by GMA 5650 graphics is supported by Fast Flash Standby. Fast Flash Standby is probably something similar to Intel’s new “Rapid Start” technology which saves hibernation file to a flash storage in order to resume more quickly. Intel Atom Cedar View processor has integrated graphics based on PowerVR SGX545 core with support for DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.0, the hardware decoding of MPEG-2, MPEG-4 part 2, VC1, WMV9 and H.264, and the Blu-ray 2.0, making it easy to view various even HD media file formats.
WindPad 120W also has optical trackpad on the right side of the tablet. This helps us with applications that don’t respond well to touch. (C’mon Windows catch up a bit!). It has 2 GB of RAM and a 32 GB Solid State Drive as storage.
WindPad 120W has both front and rear cameras and runs Windows 7. Connectivity is handled by WLAN 802.11n and Bluetooth also 3.75 G HSPA, GPS and Intel Widi (Wireless Display) 2.0
