What Customers Say About MSI Wind 10" Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 3 Cell Battery) Black:

I got the MSI and I love it. I'd been looking at mini laptops for months and had been hedging because I already have a full size laptop and it seemed too decadent to have two. But I travel a lot and my Sony was a pain to lug around. It was WELL worth it and makes traveling so much more pleasant. The performance is great and the keyboard is actually usable, unlike the same size Acer laptops I looked at.

It did connect to the web when connected directly to the router but that is not how I intended to use it. It came with Windows XP which worked extremely fast, even faster than my other three computers with XP. Most hotels today have wireless internet connectivity. Perhaps other units would work fine.

When I received it I was quite impressed. I read excellent reviews of it in the Computer Shopper. It came with just a Fast Start page which was nothing more than an explanation of what the buttons were. Nowhere was this explained.

MSI has no weekend support hours. My motivation to buy this was for traveling since it is so light at 2.8 pounds.Now for the downside. It had a CD with the manual on it for every language but English. I spent over eight hours trying to get it to connect to my wireless router. I bought the MSI Wind mini 100U with a 3 cell battery for $309 on the net.

It is a wireless N modem supposedly backwardly compatible with G series routers. After trying IE and Firefox and several conversations with my internet provider and router vendor over a four hour period I gave up and returned the unit. I never did get it to connect to the internet. Perhaps it was defective. So if you buy it, save yourself some time by pushing the series of buttons e.g. It is a very attractive mini laptop. It is a quick well designed unit I liked very much.

After four hours I read other reviews of the machine and found that the wireless modem was turned off when shipped and you had to push the buttons they show you on the fast start sheet to turn on all of its features. Fn 2 thru Fn 11 to turn everything on. If only it worked. [ASIN:B001BIK9H4 MSI Wind 10" Mini Laptop 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 3 Cell Battery) Black]]

MSI wind is amazing, light, easy to carry around and good battery life. Only drawback is this model comes with a 3 cell batter, upgrade to that and everything is fixed.

I liked the size and look of the netbook. Unfortunately my screen was defective and I had to return it. I ended up buying an ASUS 1000H which had wireless N, larger battery, and $100 less than an equivalent Wind with 6 cell battery.Neither one is 100% perfect, but I am happy I switched.

This is the best netbook on the market right now it has the perfect size and specifications. They have a terrible phone system. Thats after waiting for 30 min also. So I tell them who they are, and they are not pleased until i show them. Now this might be just my case but I have never had anything go out that quick before. They absolutely go ballistic. When I tell people about it the first thing they say is what is MSI. You can follow every key prompt and still someone has to transfer you when you finally reach an operator.

The size and cute factor is what reels people in. Whats on the bad side of this laptop is the customer service. The reason why I had to call them was because the battery went kaput not even a week of owning it. I am still waiting for the laptop battery now.
