Hands-on With the MSI Wind Netbox

Although we all still love our giant tower rigs running the hottest hardware (sometimes literally), there's still a certain allure to the simple, space saving form factor of all-in-one computers.

Apple makes it part of its business with the iMac. A problem with the popular iMac, however, is that the underlying hardware becomes obsolete much before the display. Those who want to move from one all-in-one machine to another are forced to ditch the entire old package, and possibly even have to pay for another display all over again.

MSI has one of the most simple solutions we've yet seen to the all-in-one plight -- an idea that anyone can see and think to themselves "why didn't anyone think of this sooner?"
