Love love LOVE this notebook. I think all of them comes standard with Windows 7 now. Really love this notebook. I'm usually in favor of Macs however, I like this model a lot. Not too big and not too small. The pricing is ideal too. I've played with my friend's. The track pad is legit. Woot for U210!
i'm definitely considering buying this. but I'd like to know if it can handle adobe CS3 (photoshop, premier, indesign) well. does anyone know if it will work smoothly?
out-of-box it wont run very smooth, but after a clean install and a little tweaking you'll be running it just fine. i was lead to believe that counter strike was able to be played at 40-60fps according to 1 video but after OC i only achieved 25-40fps. i was able to watch UP on blu-ray with stock equipment with little stutter also.
great little machine. battery life could be better but i got 3.5 to 4 hours with full brightness playing music along with browsing online. Keys are very nice and so is the screen. im able to see it in most lighting. Plays wow decent with 8 - 35 fps. Im running 32 bit win 7 and everything is smooth. Wow specs everything is set to low except background and texture at native res. 1366x768. very light and sturdy. top does show prints but no biggie. windows exp rating of 3.0 great machine for the $
Im Currently On The U210 And I Can Confirm That It plays hulu and youtube hd fine i can watch hd flash videos fine and 720p videos play fine to, currently tho im having a bit of a issue getting 1080p videos to play over 15fps :( if anyone has any tips id appreciate... im running core codec for mkv files still not running smooth enough for view
I was in a store and a guy was looking for the smallest 1080p TV he could find. Even after I explained that you can't really see anything below a specific size and distance, the poor guy was talked into buying an overpriced TV by the store reps.
tell me about it, my brother used to work for best buy and you wouldn't believe how many people he talked into buying those $100 hdmi cords they have, even though you cant tell the difference between a $100 "gold plated MONSTER cable" and a $10 generic one from newegg.
you can buy it on newegg d0t c0m if you live in the united states or canada, just type in u210 in the search box. it has a 12 inch(30cm) widescreen display.
I'm def considering getting this, but I've gotta decide between the u210 and the acer 1410 here pretty quick. How's the playback of HD youtube and Hulu video? Have you tried that out yet?
The U210 also has a maximum expandibility of 4gb, 6 cell battery run time - 5 hours, 9 cell battery run time 7-8 hours, runs vista but msi offer a free ungrade to windows 7 on this model when it is released! It is HD ready and definately supports HD but most likely is limited to 720p
They haven't said when they are going to release it but i imagine it to be very soon. This is because Amazon have already started preordering for the American market. so it should become available soon.
Yeah, the resolution is 1366x768, which is 720p (though some people like to call it 768p, like back in the day of 720p HDTVs that came with the resolution).
I found specs that the u200 can take 2GB x 2. MSI doesn't have any specs for the u210 on their site. Does the manual, or do you know, what max memory for the u210 is?
i have the upgraded version.
with the ait hd 3200 and amd X2 L335 @ 1.6ghz
works great. bought it for under $400
cant beat it.. but i was about to buy the one in the video but decided to buy this one since i got a great deal for it.

easy way to watch 1080p on a net book = DON'T even try. the screen is 720p anyway, so who cares if you cant watch 1080p?

It actually does 1080p but since the screen is 720p its limited, BUT, the HDMI out does full 1080p so its still badass :D
I love this thing, cant wait to get a few paychecks and splurge for this.
