 Nice MSI Wind U100-439US with some minor problems January 6, 2009
Herry Kwee
I got this nice netbook about a month ago and love it. Some minor problems:
1. as expected the screen is too small for almost anything, except for watching
movie with 16:9 ration for which it is perfect. Also the screen is led lcd so
it is very nice.
2. keyboard needs getting use to. It is adequate but still I hit key next to the
one I intended very often.
3. the sound card has much noise when plug into sensitive active speaker. I
have two speaker systems, one is the stereo with woofer altec lansing and
the other one is a nice sound blaster 5.1 system. The 5.1 one is very
noisy, while the altec lansing is OK
4. the wireless card is undetectable by linux Ubuntu 8.04.1, but it is better
than my old wireless card on dell inspiron 600m when they both work on
windows xp. The wireless card on the MSI Wind has better range and
signal quality.
All in all it is a nice small and very light machine.
 So Far, So Good - Mid-level Netbook December 19, 2008

My wife is getting used to e-mail and wanted a PC for the kitchen that doesn't take up much space so I began looking for a Netbook PC that would meet the needs. I was aware of the $300 Asus EEEPC sporting the Linux OS, but decided I would rather have XP just because of the familiarity of the software.
Price was a major determining factor for us right now, and at the Dec 2008 Amazon price of $350 for a 10" model, the MSI Wind U100 is a great deal. I've heard rumors of the U120 coming out in January, but I take consolation that it probably won't be this cheap, at least not for some months to come!
I haven't used it too much yet as it won't get broken in until after Christmas, but in my setup and trial it seems to perform pretty well. I touch type, so wanted a larger keyboard than found on the 9" screens. Also, I tried out two different ASUS models and an HP Netbook at a local store. I didn't care much for the ASUS keyboards, but the HP keyboard felt really good. However, the HP is running around $100 more and has only a 60G hard disk.
Since we will have the unit plugged in most of the time, the 2 hour battery life is not as big of a concern for us. I haven't yet upgraded the RAM to 2G. If you do this, I've heard you should get permission from MSI before upgrading because breaking the seal on the bottom voids your warranty. The actual installation, though, is reportedly very easy (just plug it into the memory slot).
I would have liked to have tried the Lenovo S10 as a I use a Lenovo X60 at work and like their build quality, but the lower price, free shipping and good reviews of the MSI Wind sold me!
And The Top Netbook is... December 19, 2008

I didn't purchase this netbook for me, its a gift for my sister.
But, I really wanted to take it for a test drive, so I took it out of the box, and booted it for the first time. No problems there of course, and once XP booted, it ran great! IE was a little slow, so I downloaded google chrome, and the browsing is FLAWLESS!!! The hour I spent on it was a breeze and I now know why they call it the "MSI WIND."
I bought the extra 1GB of Ram advertised on the page, and hope to get that in before we give it to her on X-Mas.... which will make it even more impressive!
I researched the Lenovo S10, the Asus EEE, didn't waste my time on the Acer Aspire. I found that the MSI Wind was probably the best bet, and I think it is!
The keyboard is bigger than the Lenovo S10. The MSI Wind screen is 10.2" which is far superior to the 8.9" of other netbooks!
The ONLY con I found is the "PERIOD, Right Arrow" key is shrunk a bit, and I had to backspace a few times, but got used to it after the 2nd or 3rd time I hit the slash key.
Overall, definately a bargain at $350, and I'm going to look into purchasing a black MSI Wind for myself after the new year!!!
