MSI offers ATOM based Laptop

As I was reading in a tech magazine, MSI's advertisement for their laptop U100X caught my attention. The specs are like this:

Intel ATOM processor (1.6Ghz,512K L2, 533 Mhz FSB)
10" LCD
HDD, Full size keyboard... and so on..

How successful the ATOM processor is on a laptop is yet to be seen. I guess MSI is trying to offer a mobile Internet Device with the ATOM.

In another news snippet some time back, I read that a cell phone powered by the ATOM processor was running Windows XP without hiccups!! whew! seems like cell phones are going to pack more punch than ever. The touted power consumption is like 0.35W at idle load!! Intel engineers are working real hard... Keep it coming people..
