I wish it had USB 3.0?

I want to see a version of this based on amd's a50 chipset. Considering the fact that MSI makes motherboards i'm sure they can make a good small board with low power consumption. That at least features USB 3.0. You could slap on a slim blu ray drive and a tv tuner card(I think MSI still makes those) and pass it off as an HTPC.

Boo... Even the windpad had 4GB of ram... Anything with 2GB of ram is almost useless with today's hungry applications, and the price difference is like $2

I still have a laptop with 2GB of RAM and it can do almost everything that my desktop with 16GB can do unless I try running several VMs at once or some other similarly non relevant usage for a computer such as this MSI system would be used for. The difference is price is also much higher than $2, granted it's still not big.

USB 3.0 support would be helpful if you wanted to use some external hard drives with this for a NAS system. Otherwise, I don't think that it'd matter much and honestly, I'd prefer a NAS that wouldn't use multiple enclosures anyway.

Confusing news with press releases; and incomplete ones at that. No price

Considering MSI does not shy away from AMD for its WindTops, I am surprise they opted for a piece of crap processor and GPu pairing.

There's an AMD version, DC100.

2GB RAM is more than enough for general use. Not ideal for any modern gaming or intensive programs, but for a casual browser / word processing PC, that is just fine. If the price is fair, a system like this would be great in classrooms.
