Advantages: Battery life, Size Disadvantages: Pixels on the screen
I bought my MSIWind 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 MSIWind 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 MSIWind 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: Bluetooth, Wireless, good batery, Operating system, Card reader, light, Normal keyboard, cheap Disadvantages: Sensitive Touchpad, Delicate Led Panel
In my opnion this little thing is very useful and helpful but only in work. How do I put it. Let's start from the begining.
1. I bought MSIWind about 4 month's ago. For first sight it's small, light and convinient. It's rather created for buissnes women. It has own etui and it fits to a medium size handbag.
2. Keyboard is the same as in standard notebooks.
3. Another plus is that it has Microsoft Windows XP or if you prefer Linux.
4.It has a bluetooth, Wireless, card reader, 3 USB, internet camera and microphon
5. Battery hold about 3,5 hours. Top up battery you need about 2 hours.
6. It has LED panel, but it is very delicate. I had one problem with it but i have a gurantee door-to-door and that's why it were repaid in very short time.
7. I like playing mmorpg like LineAge II or world of warcraft and I was affraid that my favorite ...

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 MSIWind.
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 ...
