[shapeworkstudios1]

@lonelykatana I agree completely. im buying a netbook for travel, not for at home, cause ive got a really nice powerful windows 7 hp, that i use for editing and animation.

[shapeworkstudios1]

my laptop has problems again. I've spent so much money getting it repaired again and again, im just getting a new pc. im getting a netbook, because all i really did on my laptop, was just browse the internet, and take it to travel. I've got my hp for adobe after effects and blender, and all my filming/animation stuff, so i'm buying a netbook. its a toshiba

[geekforlifevandc]

[bestpctips]

@pufixas did you put osx on it ?

[pufixas]

@bestpctips

[FunkyDevil909]

it comes down to what you like to hold in your hands...

[laurencefrazer]

its also perfect for running hackintosh. but personally i cant bear small screens, i need a big screen for more than just one window lol

[pufixas]

haha, i'm watching this video on my MSI wind U100 :D

so cool

@chloieanne

Yes it do have Bluetooth, and WI-FI

[swits96]

@pufixas

I have an MSI wind U100 too but the Bluetooth seems to not be working. I've been researching everywhere and trying all their suggestions but none work. I need help !! How'd yours work?

[pufixas]

@swits96

download bluetoot drivers. mine works perfectly. just google it

[chloieanne]

Does it have bluetooth?

[calebam]

okay, so other than the fact that its pretty and light, how about the practical information? is it durable? did you have any trouble with it? what is the loading time like? what was the preloaded software?

[fatgoit]

@calebam great my 5 year old uses it all the time. i did have trouble with the wifi drivers and had to re install them from site but thats fine. and windows 7 basic is basic so it starts up fast. the hdd is sensative and jumping around while loading stuff will make it freeze but thats why its not expenceive an ssd would push the price up

[littleelvis1996]

can the system ITSELF get its own interent PC=AOL connection???

anybody know how much the cheapest netbook is???

[animenation42]

the Wifi is terrible on this, make sure you buy a new reciever (Preferably "n" technology)

[lucirz]

[Benc1213]

why not just get a new computer

[lucirz]

because i don't use my desktop, i my computer is my laptop :D.

[trumbachd1]

same here! that's why I'm looking to upgrade, but I like the ultra light aspect of netbooks since I am a Wheelchair user who needs the lightness for using it on my Wheelchair Tray .

[iSunShineBright]

1:54 LMAO

Where did you go to school? Dumb-ass

[55Duran]

[dvi47]

[videoceeper]

i got one of these i love it the only thing is have to buy a CD ROM and the web cam sucks its very fast light strong i recommended you people buy these

[SleepyUchiha]

you can't watch dvd's on it?

[jkenn184]

It's a business lappy, not an entertainment centre.

[ProForges]

you just need an external drive

[letmeknow96]

can but you must buy an external cd drive

[buddhahat]

lol it's a 2-button..... thing, um, err.... trackpad, yeah that's it.

what a clown hahahahahaha

[shukor15]

i heard they say 9 cell last for 6hour lol

[shukor15]

any 1 know how long this battery last? i heard its 4-5 hour from forum i not sure

[knightmare39]

i think so but i think you can buy a 9 cell battery to extend it to 8.5 or 9 hours

[bastec666]

the "stock" 3cell battery lasts about 2-4 hours, the 6 cell is said to last for 4-8 depending on power options.

[theguitarfarmer]

shoesh larger?

[RiMa345]

24 % overclock is only evaluable by switching on the 220V power by the charger. On battery mode it doesnt' work. Anyway this is the best netbook with atom n270 processor. adding 1 extra GB ram and upgrading the bios allow you to have 224 MB total of GRAPHIC integrated ram, and this allow you to play some 3D games. 3D mark 2001 works great for example after this modding!

[shimzard]

what bios version did you upgrade to?

[RiMa345]

to 1.09

it's the last version, u found directly on msi website

[Silvertrine]

MSI wind is more optimizeable. You can upgrade the memory by adding a 1gb stick you dont have to replace the 1gb stick with a 2gb stick. Also MSI lets you update the bios and the unit is designed to overclock to 2ghz. Which is a 25% increase in speed. Thats fast.

[Strike577]

How does that work with 2ghz? can you upgrade it or something? I really don't know much about hardware.

[Silvertrine]

You press Del to go into the BIOS and theres an option to alter the Turbo Clock Speed by up to 24%(2ghz). Then when you boot your Wind you hit FN-F10 and it goes into 'Turbo' mode which increases the clock speed.

[Strike577]

Cool, thanks alot man. I'm just trying to decide between this and the Acer Aspire One AOD 150, 10.1 inch model.

[hagios9]

hp mini 1000.hehe

[Strike577]

Haha yeah that is a very nice netbook, but I just bought the Acer yesterday... waiting for it to get here haha.

[steffyanie]

help ... which one's better?? asus eee pc or msi wind U100??

[acalthu]

compared to which eee pc model?

[steffyanie]

compared to asus eee pc 701 ...

[acalthu]

tons better compared to the 701. bigger screen, better keyboard and trackpad. the eee pc 1002HA is a much closer rival but it only comes with a 2 cell battery as standard.

[steffyanie]

how about comparing the MSI WIND U100 vs the Asus Eee PC 1000H? which ones better? i know the only advantage in asus 1000 H is that it's a 6 cell bat .. right?

[acalthu]

A 6 cell pack is optional for the wind too.

[steffyanie]

yep you're right ... oh they're both good ... in your own opinion, which would you prefer? :)

[acalthu]

I already purchased the exact same model reviewed here, two days ago. I prefer MSI because they're quite lenient with their warranty policy and allow you to upgrade the memory, hard disk and even install bluetooth (the U100-420US model does not come with bluetooth) without fea rof voiding the warranty. Plus you can find plenty of accessories for it online, there's a proliferation of 3rd party batteries on ebay, even the 9 cell models, not to mention the vast community support available.

[steffyanie]

yeah ... it's really hard to upgrade your memory with asus cause they always say that your warranty will be invalid .. bummer for that ... anyway thanks acalthu :) really got some great ideas .. appreciate it!!

[LALOMAN18]

The MSI , Asus EEE, and the Samsong N10 are the best Netbooks because is uses the same memory and hard drives of normal laptops and can easily be upgraded... The Acer, HP and other alike Netbooks are garbage... uses 1GB simscard as memory and you cannot upgrade that unless you like taking your whole pc apart pulling out the keyboard aswell just to ad another stupid 1GB simscard yet your stuck with the hard drive it came cause thats no upgradeable. Stick with any I mentioned.

[LALOMAN18]

these are good for Magic Jack lol....

[RabidRat88]

Heard of the metric system retards ?

Base 10, people, get with the times...

Inches and pounds in 2009 ?

evolve a bit ffs americans

nicely done review otherwise.

[mrzoran]

How many buttons? LOL

[leeson44]

uhh.. two button, button, button... button........

[rblira2]

"Two button-button" LOL. Great Vid. Thanks!

[clairevid]

i have that laptop... it is mostly used for surfing the web but i using for pretty much everything :P

[volure1]

duh there only netbook mostly for serfing the net for basic use

[bihohran]

shut the hell up man tigerdirect rocks dont watch there videos if you hate them all i know is tiger is a very successful company

[rockerboy12doglover]

@bihohran shut up dick

[Lvaneede]

i like my Eee PC 901 better.

Netbooks should have SSD hard drives, you dont want something that important spinning in such a lightweight computer. SSD will also make the battery last longer

[ultrafreak128]

Lvaneede,

actually, SSDs are not always that good, their memory is lacking

[Lvaneede]

But on a laptop that is designed just to be used on the internet, you dont need heaps of space

[Pinetree09]

but people may want to put their music, movies, and photos on it, like me...

[Lvaneede]

I suppose you are right.

You could also buy a 2.5" SSD for it of you really wanted one, although it would be expensive

[crispindogs4]

I believe Apple came out with the first "Netbook".

Just look at the 12" PowerBook G4! That laptop is what got people interested in the smaller laptop market, thus paving the way for the success of the Netbooks.

[Mikeybikey88]

Actually sony came out with the first netbook. Google: Sony picturebook

Friendly greetings

[keelsies00]

It was Asus with an 7" inch netbook

[liquidsnake718]

no you fools, it was the FUJITSU LIFEBOOK about 4-5years ago..... You people dont even know about that one I bet because Technology is actually bloated and simple in the U.S. while in Europe and Asia we get it earlier. You'd be surprised on how regulated you guys are there.

[tovardiaz]

es muy buena esa laptop

Salu2

[NubHubGaming]

This thing is great I am going to pick one up and write a review on it.

[CheapLaptopAuctions]

Nice nice, thanks for this! Please also check my channel for cheap laptop deals

[guest2424]

Could you start showing an open web browser with tigerdirect's home page, because after all, if it is a netbook, that is the most important thing to see because that is what it is used for, that and the desktop with icons.

[wolfmandan72]

My Acer Aspire One pwns that thing.

[grraadd]

sATA disk - eh that's old and fragile... how long will it survive on the batteries? Probably not too long :-(

[chick5581]

How were you able to put all those pictures together? I want it to have a background like that, but I can never seem to get it together like that.

[aznkennyboy16]

i LIKE BAUER better then alfred , alfred just seem so much like the the guy on HSN or HOme Shopping Network, he tells you thing that you done need to know, Hes trying to hard to sell the product instead of trying to review it. Notice it next time you watch his video. Alfred likes to repeat himself a lot for some reason its so annoying.

[V3NOMDAWG]

albert or alfred? alfred doesnt do reviews..

[neodude112320]

Out of ALL The Netbooks - This would have to be my favourite because of that 1 extra inch AND the bigger keyboard.

My dad has an EEEPC And it's keyboard is HORRENDOUS!

[shaolindreams]

the reason you give is because its 10".... where are you from neodude112320? the moon? 95% of netbooks are 10" lol

[LETHLSS]

Yo yo yo!! sup Bauer!!

[nelson1tom]

hey what net book would you say is best and a good deal

and yes ive googled it but it seems all the reviews are biast :/

[DrZarkloff]

nice

[clays121]

Yet another boring, overpriced, underpowered Intel Atom based Netbook. When are we gonna see some of the VIA Nano machines, that kick the ATOM in the ASS??

[assassassin14]

I totally agree. the VIA nano L2200 is much much better...It's taking forever for a company to release a nano netbook.

[clays121]

I have a feeling, If any company releases one in the US/Canada/Europe, that it will be Everex, seeing how many products they made, based off the C7/C7M VIA processors. Those where, and still are not that bad for as cheap as you can get them for, for a basic system. :-)

[VideoGuyNC]

This line is VIRTUALLY identical to the Eee PC's 10 inch model. But here again - in my humble (though rather experienced opinion) these things need an SSD - not a moving hard drive. Trust me - you will find yourself walking around using this thing while your walking (use caution). You will bump it around. And moving hard drives can crash with a fairly light impact. I recomend the Netbooks with SSDs for this reason.

[DarkTrond]

A new day... a new netbook...

[LooperNor]

agree

[assassassin14]

the u100 is kinda old. they are going to release the u115 and the u120 later this year.

[PowerLinuxUser]

Hasn't the Wind always has a 10" screen? Or is Bauer talking about it as if we haven't heard about it before, therefor the 10" screen is new?

[Jayayess1190]

There is a 10" and 8.9" version.

[JebusOwns54540]

bauer is balding

[lorikzzz]

lol

[inkofdeath230]

Fun.

[noname250593]

is MSI a brand?

[speldata]

Yes

[toyserific]

[noname250593]

then what brand is that??

[noname250593]

i mean what brand make that netbook?

[inkofdeath230]

MSI-.-

[notToast]

BUT WILL IT RUN CRYSIS ????????

[Paxel911]

No it won't

[moviepinkyweb]

of course not! LOLS!

[MajinFrahma]

YEAH! AT !!! AT 138FPS!!!

[SupraMk4Life]

But will it blend?

[don464]

if Chuck Norris blends , it will blend.

[LookanIndian]

I have this netbook, its awesome! but webcam and mic suck, but everything else is awesome

[Gr33nG4M3R]

Good Review! A+

[Cobrass2]

[ashthegamer]

No because I have fast internet.

And I am interested in Tiger Direct Blog you tube account....

[PowerLinuxUser]

Congratulations, you pissed off 3 people within 3 minutes of posting a comment. That should send a message to those misguided fools who say no one cares about getting the first comment, then turn around and thumb down the person who gets it :D

[ashthegamer]

Lol !
