    This MSI Wind comes in many different flavours, the version I have is the Advent 4211. A rebadged MSI Wind by PC World. The MSI Wind is part of a new wave of "SSCs" (Small Cheap Computers). Low powered computers sold cheap. In general they come in two sizes (8" and 10"), most use the with the same hardware under the hood. The current standard is a Intel Atom 1.6GHz, between 512 MB and 1GB of RAM and a Intel 945 graphics adapter. The different brands then change the quality of the screen, rearrange the keyboard and increase or reduce the build quality. The MSI Wind is a on the high end of ... more

    Possibly The Best Notebook On The Market Notebook laptops have become all the rage in the past year or two. Known for their ease of use, ultimate portability and value for money notebooks have become popular amongst university students to office workers. The MSI WIND is a great addition to the large range of notebooks already on the market and is quite possible up there with the best. A little bit about the WIND The WIND was created by Taiwan based company Micro Star International.

    Advantages Advantages Small and lightweight with good screen and keyboard size

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 3-cell battery only lasts 2 hours so buy one with a 6-cell battery

    I bought the MSI Wind U100 in October 2008 whilst on holiday in the US for just $380 and it is one of the best purchases I have made in the last year. I have used it every day since then and have had no problems at all with it. It is extremely portable due to its small size and low weight and does everything I need it to. My primary use for it is surfing the internet and typing up reports. I also make use of the built in card reader to transfer pictures from my digital camera. I was originally going to buy an Asus Eee PC 901 but after trying it at a shop alongside the MSI Wind, I found the MSI ... more

    4 Stars Quick review of MSI WIND U100 by GuDoN 02/04/2009
    Very nice notebook. Why I only voted this good... Firstly, if you plan on using CD/DVD's where you're at, you'll need a portable DVD player, which could be more clutter to carry around with you. Secondly, the screen size is a down point for me, personally. When I worked on an Excel document, I discovered that the screen doesn't show the whole document, and it actually moves with your mouse if you move to the corners. I guess it would have looked stupid if the notebook actually fitted the document in the small screen area. But I found it a bit ... more
