Advantages: Really good calue for money Disadvantages: Te keyboards too small and not set out too well
and just under 3 hours of normal work on it, it is a great choice for video and music playback. Its brightness and screen quality also helps for this. It's also very good for multimedia tasks such as video editing because of a built in firewire port and an S-video output.
It is let down on how solidly built it is though. It feels quite flimsy but this shouldn't be a problem if you are using it for your average house user but its probably not one to let your kids play around with.
So all round its pretty impressive on the power side of things and good for multimedia work but its main let down is the keyboard set out. I would recomend it to you if you were looking for a laptop for about £500 which you would use for quite simple tasks and maybe play a few games on it but if you would be annoyed by the keyboard its really not worth it. ...

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.

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!
