Advent 4211: It's the MSI Wind, but cheaper

Want an MSI Wind but can't afford the asking price? You have two options: start selling the Big Issue or run down to PC World and cop yourself an Advent 4211--a virtually identical, but far cheaper alternative to the Wind.
It uses the same chassis, has the same specification, but it costs just 280 pounds (about $551). How? It's quite simple: MSI is an ODM (original design manufacturer), which means it makes bare-bones chassis for its own use and to sell to other companies, known as SIs (system integrators).
