I had recently upgraded my notebook to a 15 inch wide screen which was too big to carry. I started looking at net-books to carry everyday. I didn't need much as I could remote to another system for any thing requiring more horsepower. I started comparing net-books. I wanted the newest Atom chip but didn't want to spend lots of money having just bought a high end notebook. I had used MSI video cards and Motherboards in the past and been very happy with the quality and a while back 2 MSI laptops had been purchased for our fleet and been noting but exemplary. This net-book fits my needs perfectly. It is lite and the battery lasts forever. I get a good 6 hours with normal use and some power save functions. I highly recommend spending the extra money to get the extended battery. I did an anytime upgrade to win7 pro and have had no performance issues. I was surprised to find that it can play Xvid and H.264 encoded movies without any issues. Even flash video works but not HD flash video but I expected this. The keyboard is easy to use and I don't find my self making any more typos than normally. The screen is too small to do any content creation with but this is not its fault. Over all this has fit my needs and I am very happy with it.

I purchased a U120 for myself but my wife took it over. I purchased a U135 as a replacement. My only disappointment was the reflective screen. I upgraded Windows 7 to the Pro level without problem. Battery life is good!. The only issue is that my Yahoo email server complains that it needs 1024 x 768 resolution for optimum performance, but I see no problems with this.
