jkOnTheRun- First look at the MSI Wind with 6-cell battery

[Zombellax]

BEST Review I've seen to date. Thank You. :]

[lilxshortaii]

Great review! I was just wondering how heavy the Wind was with the 6 cell battery. My current netbook (Asus eee PC 1000H) is 3.2 lb with a 3 cell so I'm looking for something a bit lighter and hoping the Wind would be less than 2.5 lb.

[silverzap73]

thanks so much this was really helpful, yep think ive decided to get this one. found a few on ebay, refurb for less than $250 !

[trialmedia]

Brilliant video! Definitely the most concise and clear review I've seen. I'm saving to purchase one of these in fact! Subscribed too! :-)

[InvertedMonster]

[volure1]

[ajsmith9889]

Does this come with microsoft works of office of some kind?

[RedPenumbra]

99% sure it comes with a 60-day trial. But I'd check out OpenOffice. Basically freeware Microsoft Office. Switched a year ago and haven't looked back.

geat review, thanks! Only thing is, at least for me, if you're gonna spend 600 for this you may as well get a real laptop. I know you'd lose portability but you get more in functionality. IMHO

[MisterRunon]

not really, the 160gb 6 cell model can be had for about $330... or even as low as $260 (i'm gonna get one at that price) brand new on ebay.

[Pinetree09]

lol, they are not $260 on ebay...not even a refurb

[Craptron2000]

matte screen is better for reading - less eye strain. Gloss is better for pr0n.

The Samsung nc10 is beating this wind to the punch with EZ access ram upgrade and better features.

[chilenoygordo]

please, answer kevin, according to your experience, which one is the best: MSI, acer one, asus eec or lg x110????? basic specs: 1 gb ram, windows xp, 1 gb ram- atom or better.... anyway, you need also to know danish zepto...

[TheAgent06]

Check out the new Samsung nc10 ...its getting rave review betting all the netbooks out there

[LouieSamman]

HEY!I just bought this laptop and recieved it from the mail today. Only problem is I cannot connect to my wireless belkin network or connect to my modem with USB wire. I got a cd that says driver, install. But there is no CD on the MSI. When you recieved your MSI how did you get wireless connection? Mine says "not connected" but I know my router is working because my iPod Touch recieves the wireless network. But my Laptop can't. Do I need to update Driver? Thanks. :)

Excellent review! Thanks a lot.

[nooryani84]

I've had a wind (3 cell) a while now. Really nice review, the way you narrate/present the MSI Wind is great!

[christoffera]

Finaly a good review for the product!

[doubleedgedpen]

What input voltage does the MSI Wind require? Would it be compatable with the 16-20 volt DC output of the APC Universal Notebook Battery?

[nemogocedaje]

Ow, right - we also got the new EEEpc with Atom & it's also around $690 (but I believe that it has 6-cell battery). I don't really like the design (if comparing it to One or Wind), but the fact that it has a lot better battery it's also not something to ignore.

[nemogocedaje]

Hi Kev, great review (as always =)).

Well, I have a question - I've been buying a "mini pc" for quite some time ... but we actually only had EEEpc 701 until a few weeks ago.

Now I have a possibility to buy either:

1) Acer Asipre One (~ $570)

2) MSI Wind (~ $690)

There are the prices in my country - both with Windows XP & 3-cell battery =/

As you had the opportunity to test them both, maybe you can give me some feedback on +/- for this mini notebooks.

[CynicalPhuker]

I was planning on getting one of these but after seeing the Everrun Note AMD Dual Core, everything else is on the bottom of the list now.

[lal604]

acer aspire one all the way!!!

[govols1199]

[fabulousfabian1]

great vid kebin, but 1 question, you didnt show the webcam and thas real inportant to some people,like me, so if you could make a quick video using the webcam it would be really helpfull thanks

[Oneshot112]

I'm still waiting for my order of the MSI Wind 6 cell battery from Dynamism to arrive. Preordered it way back in early july.. I wonder when it will come.

[Split123Split]

[stevechippy]

Great video Kevin. Thanks.

Impressed with the size of the extended battery. Its not as big as I thought it would be.
