to Lidl) showed me that a 10" screen was a possibility, although I did not like the small black keys on the available option (the only WindowsXP OS offered), and I wasn't sure about the size of the text on the screen. I did not have the £300+ available to pay as a lump sum either. Ideally, I wanted to keep my Microsoft Office Professional 2003 (having mainly used Word, Excel and Picture Manager on the laptop), but I knew that was a highly unlikely possibility. Mainly Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 was being recommended at Staples (and included as a special deal), but I wasn't quite sure what was being offered, and wasn't able to ask the questions to which I needed answers.

Then an e-mail from a 'portal' site directed me to CDiscount.co.uk on the 8th July 2009, where the MSi WiND was offered. I received an introductory ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of MSI Wind PC
Advantages: Battery life, Size Disadvantages: Pixels on the screen
I bought my MSI Wind around a year ago, I have since fallen in love with it, bbut come to hate it on occasions!
It is brilliant for the creation of Word Documents and is a good way to carry about my Business documents, however in terms of Pure processing power, it falls down flat on its face.
The MSI Wind boasts a Dual Core 1.6 GHz processor (which means 2 800Mhz Cores). If the processor wasn't a dual core, I dont think it could even run windows! The second drawback would be the screen pixels. A little over 10 inches is the perfect size for a Laptop screen in my opinion. However, the MSI Wind has sacrificed the number of pixels to create this smaller screen. The screen is 1024x600. Which means that games that require a minimum of 1024 x 768 etc, will NOT run on the laptops native screen, and thus you will have to plug it into ...

Advantages: Cheap and easy to use Disadvantages: No optical drive,battery not amazing
The Advent 4211 is an often overlooked re-branded version of the MSI Wind.
It is powered by the Intel Atom 1.6GHZ processor and has 1GB RAM as standard which I upgraded to 2GB. My version has the 80GB hard drive which is plenty of space for me. I find the 10.2in monitor just big enough to be comfortable and wouldn't recommend going for any Netbooks with 8in monitors as they would be a little small. It runs a cut down version of XP Home with ease and can cope with most general office type tasks with no problem. There is no optical drive so I purchased a very cheap CD drive which is fine if the Advent is a secondary laptop. I would recommend buying a more expensive optical drive if you don't have access to another laptop.
The biggest problem I had with the Advent was when I crashed it. There is no recovery disc as it has an internal ...
