[deathsmate100]

c,mon its a wifi

[casemodder89]

the atom eeee the atom xD

WTF the atom ?

[DaBossk]

the guy sounds like Borat

[Glargl]

If it's still possible to pick this up, would you recommend it for writing a big assignment (like say, a masters thesis)? Or would that just get tedious and cramped? Also, is it on par with the Samsung NC10 or is that better, specifically with regards to the keyboard, battery life and noise output?

Thanks in advance.

[Charbax]

The keyboard is something like 80% of a full sized keyboard. So unless you have small fingers, get a real sized laptop.

[Glargl]

The reviews I've read of the MSI Wind U100 (and its competitor, the Asus Eee PC 1000H), all state that the keyboard is about 90-95% of a full sized one. Perhaps I should just check it out for myself at a local computer store.

And I do have a real laptop. It's just so bloody huge and heavy and loud... urgh. Not so much portable as "draggable in a pinch", hence why I'm looking for something small and light, yet perfectly usable. Something that fits in a bag along with books, papers and a thermos.

[Charbax]

It'd probably work, but you probably will be just 80% as effective as with a full sized keyboard and full sized screen.

[steffyanie]

hi i noticed that you posted this video quite a long time ago but i still hope you get to read this ... i have the asus eee pc notebook right now but iam planning to sell it and buy the msi wind U100 instead... will it be a good choice?? is the msi wind better?

[Charbax]

I think it's the same. Depends which Eee PC of course, there are dozens of different models. I'd say, just go for the cheapest one you can find and it will be just fine.

[steffyanie]

haha .... sorry .. i forgot to say which model of the asus laptop i got ... what i have is the Asus eee pc SURF ... the one with only 4Gb SSD .... i was planning to sell it and buy the MSI Wind U100 but I am quite worried with the screen cause as i watched the videos, it was quite wobbly ... looks like it'll break easilly ... and i also read some comments that the screen is really not that solid and strong ... is it true?

[Charbax]

All netbook screens are the same. Next month in June new cheaper laptops might be unveiled with ARM processors for below 200 dollars. I am waiting for those.

[volure1]

sweet msi i haerd it was good but i got theacer aspire one i hate the sylvania netbook tho it cheap

[Sallo4]

Atom Atom atom.. ;D

[sizzlemctwizzle]

twice cheaper! lol

....you mean half the price right?

[traxxion94]

haha just for that, i think i may start saying twice cheaper.

[K9LLL]

did he just sat pissing down in Denmark ???

[Tedzy]

Only the first two minutes made sense.

[IknewitWin7]

Web cam no good

space and speed no good

You get a netbook,

Priceless ...

[juicefayce2]

high deffff.! :]

[elkhadi]

DENMARK! ALDI!

Man, I'm tired today. :P

[supertrinko]

i could have sex with my screen right now, hd is great, though that man is not

[ribsot]

LOL

[firewalled1951]

How can you say that?

If Santa Claus uses it, then it must be good. LOL

[supertrinko]

hmm... that fits in with my other quote, if it rhymes, then it must be true

[rayboi2]

luptop.

[davidnaylor83]

Well I sure can't get it in HD, or even fake HD.

[AussieXboxFreak]

I beg to say this is not HD, youtube presents it in 640x360 which is SD, and in Full screen it is still blurred and not running at 1280x720 which is the minimum for HD video. Still not complaining because it looks beautiful, But with all the confusion people have with HD and related techs, this doesnt help in clearing up what it is for some people.

[freakmatador]

No you are confused my friend. Let me teach you...

This is real 1280x720 Which tuns on the HD switch. If you download the MP4 source file, you will see that it is real HD

The reason why it does not look perfect is because, HD videos over youtube should be encoded @ about 2000kbps so they can be delivered without any over head problems.

This video is in HD... OK

[godoter]

youtuberule: add &fmt=22 to end of an url for HD (if av.), so:

watch?v=BkxnvQSswTQ&fmt=22

[checkdigits]

Perfect playback in HD on my 8mb DSL connection via BT in the UK. Oh, and an interesting review of the MSI Wind Akoya Medion.

[HtwoA]

zomg, this hd vid is breaking mah internetz.

[jackosx]

EL OH EL!

[thizzle7xu]

HD is purdy...

[kbasanti]

YAY, YOUTUBE GOES HD.

[lljkrwallen]

Dude with the camera needs to stand still. Are you doing cartwheels or something?

[lifesuxvideos]

[Macinabit]

Does anybody know if this item has good video quality. I record in HD 1080i and need a small notebook to show customers wedding videos and photos, would love some feed back from you guys. Thanks

[dochmbi]

He speaks like Athene.

[trickmast]

lol! Da gaims!!

[WhatEverImNot]

haha so true awesome voice

[CarolineMunro]

The video need AGES to load. It's annoying. You win an award for the slowest loading YouTube vid of all time. TERRIBLE! BUT... I like how you pronounce ATOM. It sounds VERY japanese that way lol.

[Charbax]

If it's slow for you, perhaps you need to watch it in "standard quality". And streaming speed of Youtube videos should be exactly the same for any video, since Youtube re-encodes all videos in the same resolution and bitrate. And Google has a cloud-computing system that should make even the most popular videos available with exactly the same bandwidth.

[rodriguez1034]

msi wind and medion akoya mini are two different umpc

[Charbax]

Nope, I think they are the same. MSI manufactures for many different brands. In the USA there is also another brand called Microtel.

[Pcmaster1]

It's called the Advent 4211 in the United Kingdom

[rodriguez1034]

no actually only pc world call it the advent 4211 and also charbax the stupid it called msi in th USA too and in taiwan and and in... well everywhere else its been rebadged but u get the point the others arent made by msi they just ripped off msi

[Charbax]

They are all made by MSI.

[bigredhat]

i love this review hahaha

[Roachji]

My audio is out of sync when I try to play 720p videos. :/

[Charbax]

Are you using Media Player classic and Coreavc codec?

My 720p videos are taken with a Sanyo HD1000 camcorder at 9mbit/s and I guess have an AAC audio track.

Are you playing some downloaded MKVs or something like that?

[Roachji]

They are indeed .mkv I will try some more 720p vids.

[Roachji]

It seems I only have it with 720p .mkv videos, others work fine. Oh well I can live with that.

[xwicked7]

can this guy pronounce anything correctly? this is pretty funny.

[cyrex]

A-Tom.. this is A-Tom.. (frence dialect).. A-Tom.. the display is .. A-tom.. xDDD

[Talha3200]

[larsanhoj]

[Charbax]
