This review is from: MSI Wind U120-020US 10-Inch Netbook - White (Personal Computers)

i got this netbook a couple days ago and have since had time to play around with it a bit. I'm not an advance user and won't be soldering new parts to the MB but i'm pretty tech savvy:

Pros:
-Fit and finish of the computer is quite good, no screen wobble keyboard is solid. the contrast black and white looks good.
-quick learning curve to type on the keyboard
-screen is nice, even when in eco mode easily viewable in a bright room
-about 4 1/2 hrs of battery life doing internet type tasks in eco mode.
-very little bloatware, if you've ever gotten an HP or Dell you will find this refreshingly bare (can't speak for the U100).
-Touchpad works quite well except issue mentioned below
-It has decently loud speakers, not great by any means, but you can hear them. Anything you wish to get any sound quality out of should be through earphones.
-it's downright usable for almost all basic tasks, can't really encode video on it but can play some older games, have multiple internet windows and media software open. Also surprisingly easy to type on.

cons
-cannot, as far as i can tell, upgrade RAM to 2gb. that is to say there is no apparent slot for an additional stick. Most benchmarks show minimal performance gain from this anyway but as i bought a stick with the computer i was slightly PO'd
-no touchpad scrolling, tried a couple different drivers, no luck. Not even the corner of the pad tap to scroll appears to work as of now. Seems like there would probably be a solution to this once people smarter than I start trying to solve the problem.
-charger plug sticks out of the the side of the computer pretty far. It's about 1.5" and seems like it could be a long term issue with durability.

Everything written about this item turned out true. Reliable, comfortable keyboard, nice screen in size and color fidelity, length of battery time, pretty and compact. Even the fact that it is slightly top heavy or "tipsy". But nothing unmanageable or bothersome. Strongly recommended for netbook use. Especially the XP OS!! The included pouch is extremely useful and attractive and one does not need to buy another carrying case like I did.

I have had this Netbook for over a week and have to say this is by far the best looking of them all! The white with black trim really makes this netbook look sharp and very professional. Key pad is excellent, touch pad and build quality is way better then the older U100, excellent sound quality for a netbook. I have no need for 2gb and in fact it is way over rated as far as netbooks are concerned this netbook with 1gb is just as fast as my older U100 w/2gb which by the way I am replacing with the U120 and am much happier with the superior touchpad, performance, looks and solid build quality of this model.
