MSI Wind U100-053LA (black, Windows XP) review

By Matthew Elliott (cnet.com)

Strikes optimal Netbook balance between portability and usability ; polished look ; fair price

Wimpy three-cell battery is only option at the moment ; no 802.11n Wi-Fi or WWAN ; no option for solid-state hard drive

The MSI Wind U100 makes a positive first impression with its polished design and roomy (for a Netbook) display and keyboard, but it's missing a handful of features--bigger battery, solid-state hard drive, and WWAN--that would turn it from a very good ...

Even after a couple of days with the MSI Wind, we still found ourselves...

"CNET got it wrong - l Love Mine !!"

By kculp (cnet.com)

Worked out of the box folks! I wanted a tradi... 

Look for stock model MSI U100-016US comes with 120 GB HD, built-in bluetooth, wifi, and 1 GB RAM. 10 inch screen, decent size keyboard.

Sentelic touchpad was cutting corners in manufacturing (but I am getting used to it), narrow or 1/2 size "period" key. Three cell battery, six cell coming soon.

"I am in love with this Netbook"

By thiagosatmac (cnet.com)

Let me just say that I am in love with this m... 

Bright LED screen, snappy performance (for a netbook), Apple-like materials and design, Solid construction, thinner than the EeePC and Aspire One, Built-in Webcam and Bluetooth, Silent, Fan on the side instead of the bottom.

Memory cannot be upgraded unless you open the machine(voids warranty), 3-cell battery only provides 2 hours of usage, Power adapter is a bit on the bigger size.
