4.0 out of 5 stars
Netbook with great value but short battery life, June 21, 2010
This review is from: MSI U130-416US 10-Inch Netbook (Black) (Personal Computers)
The MSI U130-416US 10-Inch Black Netbook is a great purchase, check the good & bad things about it below.
The good things:
The Intel Atom Processor N450, a 160 GB HDD, Multi card reader and 3 USB ports, the Software of MSI give you the ability to make a backup file, and you can fix any software problem from the MSI start Menu pressing F3, a energy save mode for additional power up. Add to that some demo games compatible with the webcam (not so fun) and Windows XP precharged (in other cases comes with Windows 7), some models comes with bluetooth too(the mine doesn't has it).
And a complete web page support for donwload software and drivers if you have a problem with your netbook.
The bad things:
This netbook is the short time of battery life (less that 2 hours 30 minutes), I'm trying to buy the 6 cell Battery OEM, but it's very expensive, on the keyboard Ctrl and Fn Keys were switched and that's an annoying problem when you're acclimatized to typed on the normal keyboard.
Overall the MSI U130 has good performance, additional MSI software, a low profile stylish design similar to the Lenovo s-10 style, with a better price, is a good purchase for the price.
