Excellent

8.8

out of 10

The good: Large screen; excellent keyboard; value for money.

The bad: Average battery life; no integrated 3G.

The bottom line: The MSI Wind is arguably the best netbook on the market. It's stylish, it's easy to type on and it's quick. The wireless connectivity could have been better and the standard battery life is relatively poor, but these are issues you can get around. With that in mind, this device comes highly recommended.

Great portable net book

Sep 14, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great keyboard and aesthetics and fast
Cons: Screen resolution could be better
Opinion:
It comes in a nice package. The keyboard is great with good tactile feedback. It doesn't have 3G connectivity but good Wifi reception. Initial problems with WiFi and the webcam setup but once all the MS updates and the Wind updates it works like a charm. The screen max resolution could be better. But adequate for Internet usage. Good value for the price with satisfactory performance. The 3 Cell battery that comes with it lasts on the average 1hr 45mins. Still waiting for the 6cell battery that ships by end September. that promises 5hrs usage. On the whole good netbook for its price range.
