This is really a great laptop/netbook. I've tested the battery and when I'm just doing websurfing, the battery is over 10 hours when using the battery saving option under Win 7 power settings. The touchpad is notoriously bad in msi laptops. The touchpad itself feels nice to the touch and I like the buttons just fine. It's also very accurate while using it as a mouse, it's just the scrolling that sucks. The touchpad company is sentelic and the two finger scrolling does one screen at a time. It's not the traditional motion you use for scrolling. It's more like flick your two fingers up or down, if you hold it like normal it just rapidly goes through the screen one screen at a time. It didn't come with a lot of bloatware. The webcam is pretty clear. It has the best palm rest I've had so far. There are no finger prints on it. The cover is really nice, it's glossy but it's hard to see the fingerprints. It's a really slick looking computer. It's thin and with the 8 cell battery that comes with it it tops in at 3lbs 12ounces. It's a great weight and size ratio. I have a 15" laptop and it weighs twice as much for only 2" of screen. The keyboard size was confusing. Most netbooks I've owned take the keyboard as close to the edge as they can. MSI wasted at least an inch and a half of space. They could have made buttons bigger but I haven't noticed anything while typing.

The windows experience index follows
Processor 3.8
Memory 4.9
Graphics 4.2
Gaming graphics 5.7
Primary hard disk 5.9

I think the performance is great on it. I mean I don't play games but the fact that I could is really nice. HD videos play with ease and the speakers, I think, are really great for a computer of the size. I would choose this over a macbook air any day of the week. It's over 50% less than an Air, with 2-4 times bigger hard drive, 4 hours longer battery, vga, hdmi, ethernet port, and I like that it is black.

****************UPDATE UPDATE*********************************
I finally have some information that I think may change many minds about the dang sentelic touchpad. I contacted sentelic themselves and had to go the rounds with them about the scrolling down feature. I got an answer from them that fixes the problem! When you try to scroll up or down now using the two finger motion it acts as if you are pushing the page up or page down. This fix is really easy and changes it to act as a scroll wheel.

Change your page up/down motion to wheel up/ down.

Step 1: open the user interface, expand gestures, expand applications, select applications

[...]
Step 2: you'll now see a list of applications in the window, choose the application you want or just choose default

[...]

Step 3: click on modify, choose the gesture, in this case you choose the two finger motion up

[...]

Step 4: chose the function you want, change it from simulate press key, to simulate mouse wheel, make sure the sub drop down menu corresponds to the mouse wheel motion you want it to, in this case roll up.

[...]

Then hit ok a couple of times, it will apply the settings and your done. Then whatever settings you have under the wheel tab on the mouse tab window will be the behavior that happens when you do the two finger scrolling now!

No more changing out to a synaptic pad or anything. It's really changed my mind about the touchpad. I've got it now set that when I do two fingers left, it does the back button on a browser, and two fingers to the right bring up the menu like if I had right clicked something. You can't do that with the synaptic.

Love this laptop! July 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have owned my MSI X370 for about 2 months now and use it about 2-3 hours per day. My e-mail, primary use is surfing web, watching YouTube, and using Bridge and Photoshop. The sound is superb compared to the Toshiba Portage and my previous Sony net book. The resolution is great. The keyboard is very comfortable with ample room for resting my wrists. The battery life is awesome. My 8 cell battery currently has a 94% charge and has 8 hours and 2 minutes remaining.
Cons include a jumping cursor when typing. This is quite annoying. My other gripe is difficulty in highlighting. It takes several tries before the only the text I want is highlighted.
The computer does not have an optical drive. However, this helps to keep the weight and narrow dimensions of the computer. I bought and external optical drive which I carry with me but have yet to use.
Knowing all I do, I would definitely buy the MSI X370 again!

UPDATE
To my great relief, I found out that the jumping cursor and and difficulty in highlighting is my error. No more problems now. I am changing my review to 5 stars.

Great buy May 17, 2011

Light, fast and good battery life. I bought this laptop for my wife, it is excellent despite being a off brand (MSI is known for motherboards). It looks good and the specs are excellent. She gets 5+ hours off one charge. I'm really impressed with the Fusion E350 APU, great performance for low power and cost. You can get cheaper E350 based laptops, but they are larger and have less RAM and HD.
