MSI Enhanced Its Netbook, But Not Enough Where It Counts

 

Netbooks are a lot like specialty cocktails: Only so many ingredients can be mixed before the result is either weak, overdone, or simply makes you want to barf. Although we found the MSI Wind U100 intoxicating a year ago, the U110 — with the same...

Perfect for my needs

 

Unlike others, I have had zero problem getting this machine up and running using Ubuntu remix 9.10.

The battery life is spectacular! I am getting the advertised 14 hrs under both linux and XP. I use this machine in field service and find its' size vs performance perfect for my needs

As has already been mentioned, the function key takes some getting used to

Excellent Netbook For HD Video Content.

 

Please upgrade your memory, it comes with 1GB of ram on the the only slot available on the netbook, which means that to upgrade the memory you should buy only one 2GB stick of ram. Also people if you can please do yourselves a favor and upgrade to...

Netbook is able to play any video I throw at it, even 1080p HD. The formats I tried were 720p, 1080p h264, and 720p, 1080p, divx (.avi) files. The videos I tried were all silky smooth using Windows media player 12 and using the latest k-lite codec...

None so far, except that it was not free

MSI Wind U110-031US Metallic Gray Intel Atom Z530(1.60GHz) 10.0" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

 

I got this so I wouldnt have to lug around my 17" Sony mad machine that only lasts an hour on battery. My dad loved it so much I got him one! I highly suggest buying the case logic case for this! With a price half the cost of an iphone, how could...

Most practical small-form factor device i've ever seen! I was weiry about the battery life but this puppy lasts all day! Even with my wireless usb broabdband card!! Its not insanely fast but does the job. MS Office Enterprise runs great! Yes the...

I really wish the Fn button and Ctrl buttons were switched. Im used to hitting the Ctrl with my pinky at the bottom left side of the keyboard to quickly copy and paste things but hey i'm satisfied enough with this sweet piece

MSI Wind U110-031US Metallic Gray Intel Atom Z530(1.60GHz) 10.0" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

 

Battery life does seem to be good, keyboard is easy to use, and screen is easy to read

Requested a return today. Item freezes up for no apparent reason. Tried to go online to the manufacturer website and download updates - froze up. Same with Microsoft updates. Manufacturer's website is useless. I guess its true that you get what you pay...

excellent product for the money

 

new egg fast shipping. I've already recommended this netbook to 2 others.

As everyone else says... the battery life WOW! 10+ hours no problem. I was a little skeptical of 1GB ram, but even after loading anti-virus and ms-office, this still runs ok enough

Just a personal preference.... the keys for >. and ?/ are small and close together. when typing www.newegg.com, sometimes i get www./newegg/com. But after a month, I find myself concentrating on the . key and making less mistakes

Great Netbook

 

I don't feel like you NEED to upgrade the RAM though. This thing runs smoothly and I have not felt like I have really NEEDED to upgrade the RAM, but I went ahead anyway. Besides, anything that would really need 2 GB of RAM, you might want to use a more...

You've read in all the other reviews, and I'll say it too, the battery life on this little guy is awesome. 12 hours in constant use. I got this because I finally decided I needed something to take with me to classes at the university. And I can take...

Upgrading RAM. I believe some else reviewing said there is not a second RAM slot, but there is in fact a second RAM slot. The problem, as others have stated, is that getting to the second slot requires unscrewing the back and removing warranty sticker....

Great For College

 

Love the finish on the lid. The pictures don't do it justice. The protruding battery makes some protective sleeves incompatible. How does Newegg ship so fast?!

I use this for Cisco's training courses and the battery life makes it as painless as possible. I used Microsoft's Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to install the updated OS. Windows 7 had or found all the drivers needed instantly. The keyboard is...

The small period key makes it a little tough to type IP addresses and subnet masks. (Kind of specific to my application)
