This review is from: MSI Wind U100-427 10-Inch Pink Netbook - 2.5 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)

I bought this net book for my wife three months ago. She loves the pink cover.
We travel a lot and she uses this for email, chating, music and surfing in general. The battery lastes 4-5 hours while on the wifi.
The speakers are a little lacking but accepable.
I highly recommend this machine for anyone looking for a light weight powerfull portable.

This review is from: MSI Wind U100-427 10-Inch Pink Netbook - 2.5 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)

Back in the old days of 1998 my husband came home with a 'laptop' computer, going on about how it was so wonderful. I agreed with the concept - leaving the confines of your house and being about to work on the road, in a hotel, or a la Jack Kerouac writing any time any place. But then i saw the animal. !? It was huge and heavy and broke my shoulder just hauling it around. Along ... lo many years later....came the MSi Wind - the real personal computer. She's pink - my favorite color (okay, don't laugh) and sooo cute. She has a great wireless card, and everything i need in a computing pal. She's my best electronic buddy. Light and quick. I've written two novels on her and lots of blogs and short stories. Amazing, you'll love her - or if you get it in black or blue or whatever...? Enjoy

My wife loves her new netbook. The hard drive is huge for a laptop this size. Everything works really well. I wish it didn't run Windows XP (Vista or W7 would be better), but since her old computer had XP she's right at home.

The only negatives so far are the loud fan (although after a couple of weeks of ownership, it either doesn't come on very much or we're used to it) and the screen strains the eyes after browsing for a long time. It's also a little weird to have to use another computer to install software (from a DVD) on this one and there aren't instructions about how to do this for a novice.

We haven't traveled with this yet, but it should be nice compared to my 17.1 inch Toshiba laptop.
