I purchased the MSI Wind brand Netbook originally because the keyboard is one of the very few that is large enough for my fingers to comfortably navigate. I have used it as a portable in the park, in cars, and on airplanes with great success. from Amazon.com just got my new msi u100 netbook today...i will have to say i did a lot of research before buying this....and i reluctantly sold my compaq 1 year old full size laptop running vista this weekend to purchase this netbook....boy what a sweet trade off!!!my 1 year old huge laptop running vista was slow , 2 gb ram , dual this and that , yada yada,. state of the art clunker!!!froze up at least twice a month, shipped back to compaq 2 times before the 6 month warranty was even over...anyways , i love my new msi netbook... from Amazon.com I found this computer to be what it was advertised and more. I did check into warranty info before I added the memory and was assured by MSI that adding memory would not void the warranty. It is very fast and easy to use. from Amazon.com I chose the MSI Wind U100 after researching and comparing reviews. It looks great, and so far I have not had any performance issues except for one annoying thing that keeps happening. from Amazon.com As an admitted electronics guy with three laptops (plus this new netbook), as well as two desktops both Mac and PC, I was intrigued in the new MSI U100 netbook. As a photographer, my main purpose in purchasing the netbook was to have a computer able to store and edit photographs when I travel without lugging one of my heavier laptops. from Amazon.com I've purchased this item while I was outside my university for a research period. After 1 month and a half my LCD cracks, black spots, and areas where the signal is lost appears for apparently no reasons (no incident, no hits, nothing knocked over the monitor...). from Amazon.com Pros: Wiped windows xp and put windows 7 rc on in under 30 min. Installed great, runs great, not much to complain about yet. from Newegg.com Pros: it looked good on paper Cons: within one hour of usage the mouse stopped working and we were unable to restore. we checked other forums and found similar complaints and not a single "quick fix". from Newegg.com well this is the 3rd product review today and I'm kinda tired of typing so here we go, from Amazon.com I was looking for a laptop that was not very sofisticated since I need it for school. This Netbook filled my expectations and I am very satisfied. The ONLY con I found was that it does not have a CD/DVD drive which made it hard for installing some programs...but everything is loadable via USB drive. from Amazon.com
