[artienda12]

[xxpurplepotpiexx]

hey hey, i have that laptop, in pink, and they are awesome!!!

[antihak]

she's effin hot :*

[pioneerz450]

EEEEHHH wrong answer.

Steve Jobs (Apple CEO) hates em

thats why thy did a tablet instead of a netbook

[Junmi]

only reason why he hates it is b/c its something he didnt really invent...He's into new inventions..the tablet sucks hardcore though....you can only open one thing at the time..its like an oversize i-pod touch

[spin204]

dell netbooks are pretty nice starting price is 249

[puggster]

it runs half life 1 but if ya wanna run anything like half life 2 you need the over clocking feature to run in boost mode, and you need a good 2gb ram card

the one as stock isnt gonna do it as stock but whip in a crosair 2gb or sommit in that spec and disable onboard memory then it will play just about any game in comparason to half life 2

mine plays gta san andreas on med settings and gta vc on full settings nicley,

it does games like a med spec laptop should, pretty good ild say

[roisin2k88]

who really cares about the sizes?

if you want to surf the internet, do it! Who CARES what size laptop your using?

[Sam3r26]

married me

[Asdemus]

wow, these noobs tried to play half-life with lap top like this? -.-

[gregbest90]

this should run half-life 1 very nicely...

[Asdemus]

i know but half-life 2? fail...

[wietgr]

just bought the 3 cell for $250 cant beat that deal

[746c]

original half life should work on any computer, a laptop like this that can be caught by one's buttox should be more awsome than this.

[SpartainIV]

I didn't understand your reply complete mate but I am content from the first part "Well I now see where you're coming from".

Well I suppose she should have said comparing size and weight specifically instead of competitors

Thank you for accepting positive for my comment

[SpartainIV]

y are u comparing wind (netbook) with a dell (laptop) for size. That is not a fair comparison of Dell

[DominoNAC]

What? I'm sure she's comparing it to the full size notebook just to show how small a netbook is compared to an ordinary notebook. I don't see where you're coming from.

[SpartainIV]

The reason I have said that is because netbooks are a whole new category when it comes to portable computers. When she said "like its competitors" it is suggesting that the Dell Laptop beside is as a netbook. Where as that Dell Insprion or Latitude whatever, is not a netbook; its a laptop.

[DominoNAC]

Well I now see where you're coming from, but I think your criticism to this video isn't valid because most likely you received that comparison differently, and unintentionally, so just don't blame her for it. Personally I think she was just comparing the size of netbook to notebook, which IS a reasonable comparison given that's what netbooks have going for them against notebooks.

[jackJber]

this is on sale for 279.99 at best buy. i went o check it out and the plastic covering feels a lil cheap. the Hp mini has the same specs and is only 299.99 at best buy. the hp mini also looks pretty sleak and is easy on the eyes with a 10.1 in lcd screen. over all i would go for the Hp mini for 20 dollars more.

hope this helped!:)

[trives99]

this is good but ill get the acer 11.6 because its bigger and cheaper lol

[fuberwil]

The MSI wind is a pretty great netbook, I've heard of the complaints of quality but i think overall it has gotten great reviews and i love it. It's so light and is great to bring to class. I don't know if its released yet but the slim x-series is supposedly really good in terms of size and performance.

[thetechnoexpert]

looks good. however, i think that hp and asus do the job.

- thetechnoexpert

[Kevinkim7]

1:23 The plastic feels a little chinsy??? Is that a racist statement?

[letmeknow96]

8gb???? Mine is 160gb on my wind ..

[nin10dohwiifan]

this is sorta a gaming cpu. i got pj64 working FULL SPEED and with n e games and 1 bad thing bout pj 64 and it its only if full screen it works a full 60FPS it is AMAZING!!

[unpwnntent]

Furthermore, a RETRO gaming CPU. If you've been broke like I was for the past few years and have not found a problem playing old-school games, a netbook is highly recommended.

[gregbest90]

yep.... playing streets of rage 2/goldeneye on the move = massive win...

[Xenovadis]

I bought one as soon as it came out. Very nice netbook really like is "sobber" look. I upgraded it to 2gigs of ram and changed the wireless card for a better one, next thing will be replacing the hdd for a Solid state drive and then it will be the ultimate portable device.

[Mohamedhp]

Thanks for the review..it inspired me to go ahead and get a netbook

[quackdr]

ok , i finally made up my mind now. got to have one. thanks.

[Skys1The1Limits]

im on one now :D

[nick100108]

is it good?

[Skys1The1Limits]

Yeah its awsome only thing i dont like about it is that i have the 3 cell battery one other than that its amazing

[nick100108]

thanks

[gastonytHD]

MSI Wind U100-843 !!!

[OGRMaster]

She is HOT!

[SkeletinProductions]

they talk about netbook like their a fad i mean they are cheap and portable and if it like the wind it has a decent amout of space it's just a good deal

[Lai829]

that helped me alot thanks for this video.

[teo829]

wow I can't believe the MSI wind is 550 then.

[droadtrip]

I think the same thing, teo829. I never heard of the MSI wind back last September. But I probably wasn't following the Netbook craze back then. I just purchased my MSI Wind U120 today.

[alarm65]

NO That Was the welcome screen

[GamersPreview]

lol... LOOK VERY CLOSE AT THE MONITOR ABOVE AT 0:43 was that a blue screen... hahah xD

[Nismology5]

its the windows xp log-in screen

[Trif4]

Yeah, look closer. It says "Turn off computer" and has the design of the Windows XP login screen.

[enzunne]

the market is disorganised and to fix that

all quad core and core 2 duo (65w & up) desktop chips should;be marketed as gamer

pc chips

all low power (35w &less) intel mobile and atom chips (10w and less) should be aimed at multimedia compact desktops and net/laptops.

another option would be to discontinue all cpus over 35watts, then gpus could be sold in a separate mini steel case that you hook up to your compact desktop or laptop through a pcie to pcie adapter for power only when u need it

[enzunne]

If it was up to me id mass market tweakable socket 479 motherboards for compact power efficient multimedia & internet access desktops and reserve socket 775 boards for power gamers and i7 for wealthy fanatical gamers who can afford the utility hikes

atx dekstop boards burn 40 watts for chipsets and a min of 65 for desktop cpus right there thats 100 watts of uselessly burning radiant energy heating up the box and wearing out components.

[enzunne]

every desktop box should be like the wind desktop pc its so much sweeter to own

atx cases and 775 desktop motherboards and cpus should be for gamers only cuz their costly power drain makes you poorer for videogame performance you dont even need and its totally unnecessary for multimedia internet pc'

[USN288]

lol,you needed to remove this outdated netbooks costed $500. that was 6-9months ago.. Try the new Intel Atom Z cpu on a updated MSI netbooks...

[maxthompson21]

i absalutely love it

[matrix86]

Don't forget about the crappy webcam and crappy wireless card, lol. I'm replacing the wireless card as soon as I get my Wind. The salesman was scared I wouldn't buy it when I asked him to show me the webcam (he knew how crappy it was). But that wasn't a dealbreaker (don't really care as I have a rather nice one that will fit good ontop of this netbook).

[gegogeandyodaspeed5]

it doesnt cost 500 it cost 300 u100 model

[OZ2YOU]

I am in love

[volure1]

yes it a good netbook i stick with the good acer aspire 1 and the msi wind u 100 or u120 are good sylvania netook not sure about it rating

[AlongTheBoat]

i am plainning to get it...but overall, this is pretty good netbook right?

[ald1n]

Does anybody reads books on that laptop? How are your eyes after lets say 2-3 hours of reading?

[diffusedlight]

Now that, gentlemen, is how you review a netbook.

And boy is this a good netbook, I have one myself. Doubled the RAM for 40 bucks to 2GB, and it's overclockable to 2GHz, she should've mentioned that but it's hard not to miss something out because it's so leaded with surprises. Like how insanley bright the srcreen gets if you want it to.

[DigitalTrends]

Glad to hear your enjoyed the review! You can read more and watch more videos on DigitatrendsDOTcom.

Thanks for watching and leaving your comments.

[Trif4]

Digitatrends? Someone made a mistake :P

[HWGuyEG]

GAHHHHH WOBBLY SCREEN!!!

After using ThinkPads for soo long I can't stand laptops with hinges like that... reminds me of a guy on the train with his macbook(the cheapest one) the thing was a glare and wobble rave party.

When it comes to netbooks... I'm pretty split on which I'd want, but the lack of power helps keep me away.

[Zukatsr125]

she is cute ! ;)

Hmm ,please .send me a private message.And tell me all you now about your netbook/notebook .What is Good with it and what is bad with it. I want to buy a Mini-pc with a 10 inch screen.But a dont know what is the best netbook/notebook ?

Greetings.Rickard.swe

[EricMac100]

acer aspire ALL THE WAY!

[CigarMan3655]

Asus 1000HE all the way now.

[xdudedudex]

Imo her review is not very in depth and her way of describing the Wind makes me feel that Acer's Aspire one is definitely a better choice over this and at a much lower cost

[DigitalTrends]

Hi xduduedex,

Thanks for watching and leaving your comments. It's always good to hear what users would like to more about.

The full written review is available on our site, DigitalTrendsDOTcom and may provide you with more in depth analysis that you're looking for. Just search MSI Wind Netbook on the site.

Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments!

[darkwolf228]

I could never buy the aspire, the name makes me think of the car...

[xdudedudex]

lol car? But honestly, it's the best around if you compare to other netbooks around in the specifications you get for the money you pay, it's the best value you can get and also acer is famous for their high performance systems, though they do fail easily after some 1 or 2 years

[lillipurcat]

i got mine for 100 ponds get in there

[crazyacrobat108]

which hard-drive do the msi wind have is it magnetic or not?

[macflyfilm]

"all the rage" LOL :D

[a1mint]

Just to save people from falling what I fell for: avoid the wind at all cost. The thing is NOT, I repeat, NOT build very well.

The problem is in the screen and the lid. The lid is easily bent, especially while carrying around. Also when you open an close the lid while the screen is on with a dark blue background, then you can see how there is all kinds of stress on the screen because of the watery patterns that appear.

The screen will break early I think - not well protected at all.

[inferno511]

hmm.. not had that problem.. I think its one of the best to buy.. Im so happy with this little machine, im recommending it to all my friends! Love it!

[a1mint]

This is not a thing that you may or may not have. Fact is that your msi has a weak screen. The lid easily bends. It does that. Yours is not magically different. When you hold your wind with the lid closed, and lift it, carry it around, there are stresses on the lcd screen. You can't make that problem go away but really liking your laptop.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

[inferno511]

So there's a lot of stress on the screen.. but apparently not enough to break the screen? what's the problem then.. it's weak, yes, but is this the reason not to buy it? think that's a bit too easy.. if you handle it a bit with care there shouldn't be any problems..

[a1mint]

The stress makes the screen more susceptible to breaking it. It threatens to reduce the life of this netbook.

I'm just warning people, because I've seen how the screen is not well protected at all. Any handling of the lid part, top and side, directly translates to pushing fluids and bending and warping the actual screen. Not good for carrying around, and definitely less well built than the average notebook that way.

Sorry to disappoint you.

[inferno511]

ow but you ain't disappointing me... I know what you're saying.. the stress wil indeed be bigger than with other products.. no need of discussing that.. what i'm trying to say is that this must not be the reason for not buying it.. If you handle things with care, there won't be any problem.. I have a sony vaio (2005), this lit is even worse.. I had it with me for almost a year and nothin happend.. but i know you're point.. (srr for my bad english)

[a1mint]

It's hard to find the ultimate netbook.

I like MSI's bright screen, but I dislike how fragile it is. The MSI's bilingual keyboard used in most non-us distributions is awful.

I like HP's keyboard, but I dislike its price and how it doesn't have vga out.

I dislike how the other netbooks only have 8.9" screens.

I'm seeing some cool new ones in the pipe line, but how long does one have to wait..

[inferno511]

Yea you're right.. i think if u want the perfect notebook, u can wait forever.. my opinion is to buy what u need.. i need bluetooth, wifi, relatively big screen, vga, etc.. then i take a look at the looks, and i buy what i like.. Build quality is indeed important, and the msi may be the worst-built of the netbooks, but i just don't have any problems (for now).. maybe if i had some, my opinion could be different...

[DigitalTrends]

Hi Inferno511,

Thanks for adding your opinion. We always like to hear feedback from users who agree and from those who disagree from our reviews to give other viewers a full view of the products we review.

Thanks for watching and for leaving your comments.

[a1mint]

The fact that the screen sees these stresses is not an opinion. It is a fact. This problem can not be made to go away by really liking or loving it.

[Bimm3rcc]

Well if you bought your msi wind and wanna use it as a trampoline.. i guess this is not what you wanna buy, gonna give the wind too much post-traumatic stress!! uhh

[asdfxyz1]

You sound like a bot.

[zaza434]

Je ne vois pas l'intérêt...

[fvgotch]

Gosh she has such a soothing voice... I feel relaxed just watching and listening this video... :)

[DigitalTrends]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for watching Digital Trends and leaving behind your comments. We're getting a little off topic here so lets get back to the hardware discussion.

Thanks for watching.

[krutonownz]

what the flip is this, all youtube vids have comments that don't relate to the vid, i've never seen this before

[DigitalTrends]

Yes, we had a bit of distraction earlier. I think we're getting back on track though.

Thanks for watching!

[christi1992]

wow this notebook is better than a ipod touch :D

[Ashee726]

???...why did you compared ipod touch to msi wind?THEY DONT RELATE :-)

[bshitter]

Nice job. I like people commenting on the built quality.

[R3DHawk91]

Ah, christoffera the forumher0. z08y, just ignore him.

He is as hidebounded it is possible to get...

[christoffera]

I will ignore him!

[christoffera]

lol

[christoffera]

I am getting the 160 GB version, and Im gonna put in an extra GB of RAM (total 2 GB)

6-cell battery version!

[z08y]

And by the time you're done you've paid as much as for a regular laptop...sigh

[christoffera]

no..?

The only thing I will upgrade is 1 more GB of RAM... whitch coast about 25 dollars

[z08y]

I can find several A-brand laptops at bestbuy with 2/3GB RAM, 250GB hard drive, larger keyboard, dual core processor, 15.4" screen, better track pad, firewire, WIFI N instead of just B/G for less money than what you are spending...

[christoffera]

What r u trying to proove?

Im not dumb! I need a MINI-laptop, not a regulare laptop... with 15.4"..

I by this laptop for its size! and its cheap, to be a mini laptop! Im only going to use the laptop for easy task.. so why would I need anything better?

Tell me!

[z08y]

Cheap? Have you actual read my previous post?

So you're going to use it for easy tasks?

Mmm, interesting...then explain to me why you upgraded to a 160GB drive and 2GB of RAM... Because if you don't upgrade you can't browse properly, use officw, listen to music, check your mail and chat? lol

[christoffera]

OMG

I buy it for its SIZE!!!!

If I want a regular laptop (15.4") with more powerfull specs.. I'll buy one! but I dont need to, cause I allready got one!

[skatalite83]

Which ones?

[sonofgob]

And thank you for your review, short but informative!

[Zorlak010]

Another great review. The notebook looks really nice. I love the design.
