The little netbook that could,

This review is from: WIND GMA950 1.6G 1GB 160GB (Electronics)
The MSI Windbook fits the bill perfectly for me. I was in the market for a laptop that I could easily carry around with me at home and not have to worry about lugging around power cords. Not only that, but I also wanted something with reasonable power that could run most of my low key applications, do some surfing, and could also view multi-media. Some of the benefits of this model vs. others is that it includes Wireless N and Bluetooth, and has the 6 cell battery. I get about 4 hours of operation when running most of the hardware, including the wireless card, webcam, etc. This is a great netbook for the price and you won't be disappointed. I looked at the ASUS, Dell, and HP models and this one seemed to be the best bang for the buck. Also, it seems that many other "enthusiasts" like the MSI because of its capability to be overclocked. I've been buying MSI motherboards for years and the quality and support has been great, and I believe the same is true for this product. I was able to get Windows 7 beta up and running within 30 minutes, all hardware was recognized with the exception of the wireless card- but once I did a windows update there was a driver that installed and everything works perfectly.
The only cons that I've run across so far- the keyboard takes a little bit of getting used to with all the international keys. After about 30 minutes of typing you get the hang of it, and I'm now typing about as fast as I normally do on a full sized keyboard. I was a little worried that the international keyboard would get in the way, but it really doesn't. A minor gripe is that you have to push the function (fn) key and the arrows to use home, page down, page up and end. But you can't have separate buttons for everything on a computer this size! Another minor thing- when you have the battery installed the laptop has a tendancy to tip backwards but only if you do not have it on a flat surface. For isntance, you might find it irritating if you were watching a video while you have it resting on your lap. Something I am still trying to figure out is why my wireless N is not connecting super fast. So far I've been able to get a max speed of 65 Mbit. I have a new router (dlink) and I think I may need to tweak the settings a bit. On the plus side, the wireless card has a tremendous range and can see most of my neighbors connections, which I had never seen on my other laptop with a wireless g card. With these minor annoyances I still give the product 5 stars! You won't be disappointed.

Great little netbook,

This review is from: WIND GMA950 1.6G 1GB 160GB (Electronics)
Meets all my expectations. Speakers are not great. With bios upgrade and turbo mode, don't see the need to upgrade to 2MB of ram. Some programs work better in 800x600 resolution. Dual language keyboard layout on this model not a problem for me but may bother others.

Great value for versatile notebook,

This notebook is great for normal computer use including email and microsoft office. Works just as well as my $1200 Dell. Does not have a CD/DVD drive. Battery life is excellent. 4-6 hours at 3 months depending on use.
